I hope this is the right forum to ask this question. I recently received the rev A board from Motorola with u-boot and Linux on it and everything is nice. But I need to run Montavista linux on it, so I configure u-boot to BOOTP and tftp a kernel from them. This works partially fine, I can telnet into the machine but there is no console on serial. So I was asked to put a
Maybe your kernel is misconfigured? Did you try passing something like "console=ttyS0,$(baudrate)" on the command line?
u-boot binary from Montavista onto the board.
If everything else is working this seems a bogus advice to me.
I am using BDI2000 to program the flash but am running into difficulty. The config file I have is from Abatron and I haven't modified any Jumpers or switches on the board. When I program the flash with u-boot, BDI says it was successful, but the data read from the flash is incorrect. The data has the first, third, and the eighth bits of a 32 bit word high all the time. So a 0x00000000 is seen as 0xa1000000 and a 0x12345678 as 0xb3345678.
Now this looks like a hardware problem to me.
