Hi all,
Thanks for the active support everyone has provided me with.
We are trying to use Uboot on MPC8280. In our case Serial port, eventhough it is available, can't be used for CLI / as a console port for dumping uboot's log messages.
The next alternative is Ethernet. I had downloaded uboot ver 1.1.1 but I am not able to find Readme.Netconsole in the doc directory. Does uboot 1.1.1 provide support for Netconsole? Are there any patches available for uboot to run Netconsole?
Also we have a requirement to put log messages on Ethernet (on uboot also). These messages must be put very early, even before the IP comes up. Is our requirement possible by using the current uboot as is or do we have to modify the uboot code for the changes?
A trivial issue, 1) I went thro uboot.sourceforge.net, there was uboot ver1.0 only present(activity percentile was 51.2%) 2) I went to the sourceforge site thro denx.de site and got uboot, the version shown is uboot1.1.1.(activity percentile 98.3%)
Why is this difference? What is the latest version of uboot released and where can I get it?
Thanks for all your understanding, C.R.Srivatsan
