mx280:use application uart as a console

yangsong · ‎12-23-2012

for debug uart was used as i2c funtion, and i need to configure application uart0 as a console,i do this as the steps listed below

boot from sdcard

1.run ./ltib -m config, change default kernel command line from "noinitrd console=ttyAM0" to "noinitrd console=ttySP0"

2.change inittab startup line from "::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAM0" to "::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttySP0"

3.enter kernel menuconfig, and enable "support for console on i.MXS application serial port"

4.run ./ltib -p boot_stream.spec -f and ./mk_mx_sdcard

5.then insert sdcard ,and power on. it stop after "booting the kernel"

PowerPrep start initialize power...

Battery Voltage = 4.20V

boot from battery. 5v input not detected

thanks for your reply.this problem had been resolved.

app uart 0 was not initialized before used as a console.

The next thing being printed from console should be "Linux version 2.6.35...", did you see it from the debug uart (instead of application uart)?
