Hello:

I finally managed to put my own ROM on the helio, BUT: no matter what I do I
am not getting a shell on serial port :(

I used the vmlinux from the pgui site and some others, finally was able to
build my own kernel as well but only once.

The cross compiler is segfaulting too much sometimes starts again, sometimes
starts after I delete the final corrupt .o file and last time not at all,
i.e. just segfaults again and again and again ....... on the same file.

Though I was able to include sz and rz (zmodem send adn recv) on the ROM but
without a terminal / shell there seems to be no way to use them :(

Compiled pgserver with 4bpp support but forgot to change in the kernel, and
now gcc is segfaulting, maybe it recovers after a reboot ;)

Anyway its working good enough to start ironing out these wrinkles, apps are
getting compiled and working but need a reflash everytime :( I would like
help from all the kernel gurus out there on how to get a serial shell
working, currently:

1. kernel param: console=tty console=ttyS0,115200 (where can I change this?
maybe removing the first)
2. inittab has: ttyS0:askfirst:/bin/sh
3. /bin/sh exists :p

alternate plan could be to modify omnibar to include *.app files in /mnt/tmp
and make a frontend for sz to survive without a serial console and test
applications as well.

thanks,
-debugger
