[U-Boot-Users] Ethernet console for u-boot diag
Hi,
Platform: custom MPC8541/8555 board
Actually 2 questions please,
1-Not having access to DUART header at test side, is there a way to get a console to u-boot through TSEC interface. If so may I get a pointer to the patch/code?
2-Has anyone done a menu based diagnostics tool in u-boot/kernel to test hardware interfaces(CPU, memory,pci & etc...) for PPC/MPC cpu families that I may be able to leverage from. This is normally provided to manufacturing for extensive testing.
Thanks and Regards,
Rahmat

Menu based? That's a different reality system.

See the post/ directory; parts will need adaption / porting for 85xx.

Hi,
Thank you very much as usual!! I am almost there. I used the directions from the readme file and by defining the CONFIG_NETCONSOLE, the console is semi functional. I can not input anything to the net console however do see the output when I type over the serial console. Looks as "stdin" change is not working. I'll keep on debugging. Your comments are always welcomed.
From serial console:
==================== => print ncip;print nc;print ipaddr;print serverip ncip=192.168.1.1 nc=setenv stdin nc;setenv stdout nc ipaddr=192.168.1.2 serverip=192.168.1.1 => run nc
on the host net console: ======================== $ ./ncip.bash 192.168.1.2 => <INTERRUPT> => => =>
Best regards, Rahmat
