iMX53 QSB Boot Problem

[AlanS_]

Somewhere along the way I lost the ability to boot the QSB with a current LTIB build.  The issue seems to be associated with the 'ttymxc0' and the uart driver since it stalls on this initialization line during a boot cycle.  The QSB will boot correctly with the original QSB Linux SD card and I have compared this boot listing to the non-working listing without any clues.  Any thoughts are appreciated.

The console output is as follows:

Remi,

Thanks for your help on this issue.  It looks like the problem was a corrupted u-boot file.  I rebuilt LTIB and a new image but still had the problem until I found that the flash_ubuntu.sh script had the u-boot copy commented out.  After uncommenting this script line, it now boots correctly to the login but I now have lost my shell on the VGA monitor.

Regards,

Alan

Dominc,

I think that Remi's reply got me on the right track for the u-boot issue.  Thanks for your reply!
