RE: [microblaze-uclinux] Newbie on an Avnet V5LX50 board

[Rick Hunnicutt <RHunnicutt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you.  So, I have it enabled. I also enabled the heartbeat as Michal suggested and it blinks away so as John said, the kernel seems to be running. I have tried several options with the inittab file with the agetty line (ttyS0, /dev/ttyS0, different baud rates, ::respawn, etc), all to no avail. Any other ideas?


I've also enabled the cache now and xmd shows it enabled when the bit file is loaded but the bogomips line is still the same.... What is a normal reading for this if the cache is enabled properly? I also tried the romfs but made no difference (besides the file being much larger...).

Thanks all very much!

Rick Hunnicutt

You have the suggested option  selected.

--- Non-8250 serial port support
<*> Xilinx uartlite serial port support
 [*]   Support for console on Xilinx uartlite serial port

Thank you John.

Under device drivers -> char devices -> serial devices, I only have:

--- Non-8250 serial port support
<*> Xilinx uartlite serial port support
 [*]   Support for console on Xilinx uartlite serial port

How do I get the option you speak of?

Thanks much!

Hi Rick,

Hello all:

I'm a newbie and I'm trying to bring up the aforementioned board. I've disabled Ethernet and flash, just using XDM to load the image.bin to the SDRAM location. It loads and starts to boot but stops with no clues as to why, at least not that I can glean. Any help as to my next steps would be appreciated.

uclinux[mtd]: set ROMfs to be root filesystem index=0
VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 76k freed


In kernel config, device drivers -> char devices -> serial devices,
ensure that "Console on UARTLITE" is selected.  It looks like the kernel
is booting just fine but there's just no console output.

Cheers,

John
