EBAZ4205 Bitcoin miner board - linux investigations (circa 2024)

I got these boards back in January 2021, and never really did much as far as investigating the linux system on them. But in 2024 I got interested. I began by pulling a fresh "new" (new to me anyway) board out, resoldering the power supply diode, connecting a USB to serial dongle to it and then firing it up using a 12 volt (3.2 amp) power supply harvested from an old Nintendo gamecube.

It boots right up, but with a password set (as we expected).
