Yes Serial console  only my s812 box ,

ok thank you for your explanation , it would be great when after kernelk 
boot (maybe inside rc.local) the LED will have a color change

yes i use 3.10.99 kernel from the image from oleg with a dtb files with 
your Led infos about "gpio test n"
i also found a older info about system LED

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2015-February/010126.html

there is a info about gpio ao 13

i send you a private mail with my dmesg with oleg dts file with led line
