Re: LEDs on a Sheevaplug



I can't believe nobody uses putty :) Minicom has caused lots of trouble to me.

It may be that the serial line communications program you use is sending things
when you start it. If uboot receives anything, it will interrupt the boot sequence.

I generally wait for a few minutes to check whether the 'regular' boot succeeds before connecting a serial cable. It appears that something else is interrupting the boot sequence before I even have the cance to send garbage to my plug ;-)
Is there some logging facility in uboot to review its output before a serial connection was made?
Anyway... Is there a serial program you could recommend that is known to work without sending garbage (preferably in Ubuntu's repos)? Just to rule out this possible source of interference.


I don't have a Sheevaplug but for many other devices:-
I have never had any problems with minicom on Linux. There is a Ubuntu package for it.
HyperTerminal on Windows also works.

For LaCie devices using a similar Marvell SoC:-
Instead of a serial cable you can use clunc, a netconsole, available here: http://lacie-nas.org/doku.php?id=clunc
However this probably will not work for you as I believe it uses a LaCie extension to the Marvell U-Boot port :(

Cheers,
Chris
