- Pass a boot command line 'console=/dev/ttyS0' from your bootloader
or have it compiled in via 'make menuconfig' Check your custom serial driver for the exact TTY device template name (i.e., /dev/ttl0, /dev/ttyAS0).
Alternatively, try using a post mortem dump of the lug buffer to see what might have been prited to the console buffer. See the FAQ for details.
- Make heavy use of on-board LED indicators by calling ioremap() and
poking your virtualized hardware register location to flip on the LED indicators.
I strongly recommend *against* doing this, at least unless you know *exactly* what you are doing (and then you don't need this because you will use a BDI2000 anyway). I've seen to many reports of "Linux crashes when enabling the MMU" that were cause by exactly such attempts.
Best regards,

Another war ... must it always be so? How many comrades have we lost
in this way? ... Obedience. Duty. Death, and more death ...
