Did you try to change the Heartbeat (SQE) on the Transceiver ?
(There should be a switch on the Transceiver for that).

Sorry for the misspellings! It should say "STI-con" and "STI-fb"

The support was introduced in recent kernels. STI-con and STI-fb
(for C2xx) are NOT supported in the kernel shipped with 0.9.3!
You have to install 0.9.3 using the serial console, update & recompile
the kernel (and better do a 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' aswell),
and then you can try using STIcon. Be sure you selected STI-console
and STI-framebuffer in the kernel configuration!
Hope this helps,
greetings Max
