I don't think this is an "apples to apples" test. I haven't crawled into the low-level differences between the BBB and the Octavo SIP, but I _think_ at least the DRAM settings are different. Do you have a Pocket Beagle or one of the other Octavo boards handy for testing? Are you sure U-Boot is patched to handle your EEPROM-less board? That said, if you were having SDRAM timing issues I'd expect the kernel to crash and I wouldn't expect the failure to be so consistent with USR LEDs still blinking. So I wouldn't chase SDRAM issues right away, but just keep in mind that might be part of your problems. > I vimdiff the serial output captures. > > On the BBB I get alot of console output from the end of all the eqep driver > setup through the login prompt. > On the target all serial output stops with the eqep output - but the LEDS > continue to be active. > As they are soft - something is still executing See if adding a getty for UART4 gets you a login prompt. You don't really need the kernel console if you can login, and with the USR LEDs blinking it sounds like the system is probably still running. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
