Re: [U-Boot-Users] Where does u-boot start when booting Linux?

...

Thanks for the info. It has pointed me in a new direction. The problem I am having is the serial baud-rate is fine in u-boot but wrong when the kernel boots. Perhaps the clock dividers are setup differently by u-boot than expected by the 8260 implementation?

Perhaps you don;t pass the baud-rate to the kernel? Did you try passing something like "console=ttyS0,$(baudrate)" ?

I tried: setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw console=ttyS0,115200 tftpboot 100000 /tftpboot/mpc8266.uImage bootm 100000

When Linux boots it just prints "." instead of text.
