Ok. I did it and I got the serialICE prompt (@38400). In fact it appears again and again every second or so. That suggests some watchdog might be rebooting the board. I already set the it8712f kill watchdog call in coreboot, not sure if it was needed, but it seems it is. I could put it in serialICE but unless I need to use SerialICE for something else I think I won't. In fact if I had done the qemu part coreboot itself might have reset the wachdog over the serial line, I guess. Thank you very much. Now I'm going to compare what serialICE does with what coreboot does and see where I get. -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
