the current u-boot manual suggests there are still problems using minicom to connect to u-boot. does anyone know what those problems are, and if they still exist?
i've been using minicom to connect to the pre-installed u-boot on my beagleboard for months now, and it's worked reliably, except for one situation. since my laptop has no serial port, i'd purchased a low-end USB-serial converter (with a prolific chipset), which failed utterly. i tried everything to debug my setup until someone else suggested that the converter was at fault.
i purchased a different converter and everything was fine. so i'm still curious about potential problems with minicom and u-boot.
