Do you think such bug is independent of architecture type ?

This is impossible to say without knowing where and what the bug is.

 You're right.
What I did see in my tests is as follows:
1. only if there is connection to PC and the PC's interface ip is the same
as the ncip environement, then and only then, I see that the u-boot finish
its job and starts the bootcmd, and loading the kernel. I also see the
u-boot prints in the ethernet if I start netconsole, but event without
starting netconsole, the kernel starts (as expected)
2. Otherwise, if the network interface ip is not the same as ncip, or cable
is disconnected the u-boot does not start bootcmd, and I actually do not
know where it stoped and why.

Please tell me if you have any advice where to look, and what should be
checked,

Best Regards,
Ran

[U-Boot] stuck after redirecting stdout to nc

2012-01-02 Thread ran shalit

Hello,

On uboot loading, I checking a specific environement (called consoleddev),
to decide to rediect console to nc or staying in serial.
I then see some strange behaviour:
if the environment tell uboot to redirect to net console, everything works
well, but only if the ethernet cable is connected. if it is not connected
then I see that the kernel is not loading. 

*relevant environemets:
ncip 192.168.3.10
ipaddr 192.168.3.33

I would appreciate your advice,

Regards,

Ran
