The thread started with trying to solve the problem with U-Boot beeing downloaded from Linux and then written to the flash.
ACK.
There is NOONE talking to the console after the reboot, and the assumption is that Linux has not updated the environment.
Right. Neither am I. You know that there are tools to write the environment from Linux?
Based on this: how do you sync the ver and the U-Boot version?
Just as posted before. The conversion from the U-Boot setenv command to a fw_setenv shell command in Linux is left out as an exercise for the reader.
All your proposals are failing, since you assume that there is a gremlin somehwere which starts toggling RXD.
It seems whatever I write, how simple I may make it, you always find ways to misunderstand or misinterpret me.
I provided a solution. A known to be working one, btw. I hope Zach was able to follow my example. If you can't I can't help it.
Over and out.
