[U-Boot-Users] u-boot environment variable setting: "console=ttyCPM0"

Hi,
I was recommended to use u-boot environment variable setting: "console=ttyCPM0" for loading linux-2.6.8-rc2 uImage (by u-boot) on to PQ2 ADS (with MPC 8270 on it). Could anyone knowledgeable ellaborate on usage of it for above described configuration ? What version of u-boot supports this setting ? What baud rate value I should add to this setting, if I want to use Hyperterminal serial connection ( over USB) to the board ?
TIA, Alex

Did you read the documentation, especially the DULG and it's section about U-Boot's environment variables and passing boot arguments to the Linux kernel?
Actually your question has not much to do with U-Boot but more with the Linux kernel's boot arguments. You should probably start reading Documentation/serial-console.txt and "man bootparam".
What version of u-boot supports this setting ?
All versions do.
What baud rate value I should add to this setting, if I want to use Hyperterminal serial connection ( over USB) to the board ?
What makes you think we could know which baudrate you are using on your system?
Best regards,
