OP here...it got a little better with a patched picoprobe.

I wrote up part 2 here: http://thelittleengineerthatcould.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-8...

But yeah, not plug-n-play. I still have to find out how to get network or SD-Card.

it is quite interesting that it actually has an sdcard slot but doesn't use it as a boot device? Like wtf? With only 128 MB of flash what kind of OS can one even fit on that...

Nothing about this board makes any sense lol.

Stay tuned, according to the Bouffalo Lab BL808 SoC datasheet (page 90) series numbering system that the board is based on, they will probably have more RAM and ROM capacity in the later versions of the SoC:
