I have lost contact with the provider and this is a little bit worrying because he is from Wuhan
This does not look good. I am afraid this will take some time. If we do not have news about the provider we should make a new contact and the sailing season is here...
If you are in a hurry you can try the canable device: https://canable.io/ it is also supported by OpenPlotter.
The Canable board works very well. Especialy with the latest OpenCPN beta version with direct input of SignalK data.
However they are sold out at the moment. You can put your name on the waiting list.

There are two versions of the firmware. I use the Candlelight version. It is easy to flash. but the other version I think is probably better supported in OpenPlotter.
The only action I have to take is the inialisation of the can0. It is simply done in the terminal and stays available.
Then the Canable leds starts flashing and the SignalK server is working.
And you need of course do the setting of the serial port in OpenPlotter which is put through to the SignalK server.
The inialisation can be put in the starting setup. But I do it simply by hand, becauyse it stays resident in the terminal.
Works great here, not only on my Pi but also on my Linux 64AMD. With direct SignalK input in OpenCPN.
