I'm having a small issue with a Gateworks GW2348-4 [1] ixp4xx board. I attached the RXD, TXD, and GND lines from an FTDI USB serial TTL cable to the appropriate JTAG pins (RXD, TXD, GND).
I can see the bootup messages in minicom, both RedBoot and Linux. It dumps me to a command prompt, but that's it. The errors I see are: 1.) CTRL-C to RedBoot yields periods and doesn't stop the boot process. 2.) what I type echoes back, but hitting Enter goes to the beginning of the line, and doesn't go down a line. 3.) no response to any commands eg 'ls<CR>' does not give me a list of directories... 4.) I do have Local Echo turned off, so I'm reasonably confident that the characters I'm seeing are being seen by the board and echoed back. I tried passing minicom '-7' or '-8' with no improvement. I did get a chinese character for CTRL-C with '-8' as opposed to a period in RedBoot. 5.) I managed to catch the 2sec window to telnet into redboot and load my own kernel and rootfs to ram, and execute, but I get the exact same effects. 6.) The exact same cable, minicom, kernel, and rootfs (made with crossdev/xmerge/xkmake for the OT! criers :-) ) works fine when booted on an NSLU2... Any terminal gurus here have any idea what I messed up? btw - minicom is set to 115200, 8n1, no HW flow, no SW flow. RedBoot and the first linux are factory loads. thx, Jason [1] - http://www.gateworks.com/avila_gw2348_4.htm -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
