Hi, I have a MPC855T-based board with SMC1, SMC2 and SCC1 configured as UARTs (ttyS0 to 2). I also use SPI and I2C, and the FEC. The kernel is 2.4.4 from the ELDK; I tried the CVS linux_2.4 also.
My problem is: When I boot the board with the 2.4.4 kernel and the ELDK pRamdisk, I can cat /etc/protocols >/dev/ttyS2 alright; but if I boot using the same kernel but with an NFS-mounted root, then the same cat hangs until I ctrl-C it. Since the kernel is exactly the same in both cases, I thought I'd find something in /etc that would play tricks on ttyS2 during bootup, but I found none. Does anyone here use SCC1 as an UART on an MPC8xx, or have experienced similar problems trying? Thanks in advance, Albert. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
