Holger, Robert, Kevin

thanks very much - each of your replies have been very enlightening!

I've been poking around with reading / writing individual registers
using HaRET too, so I think I'll try to just get a GPIO logic signal
out first on the STUART, like you said Holger, and then check that the
uart clock is running (i'm fairly certain that it was).

In regards to the linux kernel output on the FFUART - that would
explain A LOT !! I couldn't understand why I wasn't seeing a single
character, let alone a flicker on the scope, but now that makes
complete sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me Robert ! Each of
the uarts has fairly similar configuration registers, so I should be
able to change Linux to write to the STUART instead.

This has been tremendously helpful - maybe if I buckle down this
weekend I can get it done before monday ;-)

Just to give you an idea, the target that I'm porting Linux to is
sooort of like the TDS Nomad - it's a rugged, industrial, handheld
mobile computer, and I've been getting a lot of support from both the
manufacturers and my company. Both parties are very
pro-open-development. The only thing holding them back until this
point has been, well.. me! I need to get a successful port working
before I can publish any 'official' information, including specific
names.

Having a few more eyes on the problem really helps a lot - I
unfortunately work from home, and have basically been alone on this
project since its inception about a year ago (of course, I've been on
other projects since then too).


Cheers, and thanks again.


Chris
