Hi! I have done this and it's easy...Follow this steps: Disabling all debug, kernel and syslogd messages, coming out from the ttyS0 serial port (physically on the J10 header), you will be able to use the ttyS0 as a general serial port without any disturbing boot and debug messages. To do this you have to change an option in the kernelconfig. (These notes are based on the new Fox Board SDK but can be adapted easily to the old one) Open the kernel options with the command: [..../devboard-R2_01]$ make kernelconfig in the "Hardware setup" submenu, look for "Product debug-port" and set it to "disabled". Enter in the directory packages/param/syslog/development-R1_1_0/ and edit the file syslog.conf so that the first line is like this: *.debug;kern.none /dev/null Only for kernel 2.6 >From the os/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/boot/compressed/ directory do a: [....boot/compressed]$ rm misc.o Only for kernel 2.4 >From the /os/linux/arch/cris/boot/compressed/ directory do a: [....boot/compressed]$ rm misc.o Now for any kernel version recompile the fimage with the command: [..../devboard-R2_01]$ make All boot and kernel messages are now gone. You can use the J10 serial port ttyS0 as a normal serial port without problems. And NOW you need to save this new fimage at FoxBoard Startup..Please for more information go to this website: http://foxlx.acmesystems.it/?id=57--> You can call me also...
