That's not entirely unusual on this class of machine. At least it looks
easy enough to solder and I guess you could probably run some jumper
cables via the antenna hole. If you can't or don't want to solder it
yourself then I bet if you take the board and some pin strip to a small
mobile phone repair shop they'd be able to do it for you.

At this point output moves from the kernel to userland. That looks like
the port has changed speed. I would first try 1500000 as it's fairly
common on the embedded ARM boards.
