i am using almost the same hardware as you do so let me show you my .kermrc (which is working pretty fine):
set line /dev/ttyUSB0
set speed 115200
set carrier-watch off
set handshake none
set flow-control none
robust
set file type bin
set file name lit
set rec pack 1000
set send pack 1000
set key \127 \8
set key \8 \127
set escape ^a
it is important to define the right escape key, otherwise you won't be able to use the kermit-menu.
maybe you have to adapt /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/ttyS0...
I do have ttyS0 in there, that's not a problem. I tried entering both ^a (just the character ^, not the CTRL key) and CTRL-A. Both yielded no results. How should I enter that line in vim for example?
i think your kernel was already booting as you mentioned here:
> Found romfs @ 0x2414a000 (0x00235000)
> #### klimit 2415b000 ####
>
> Moving 0x00235000 bytes from 0x2414a000 to 0x2415a5c0
> New klimit: 0x24390000
the problem is, the console has no output to the serial line.
to fix this select the following when configuring kernel:
>Device drivers>Caracter Devices>
select Xilinx Uartlite serial port support AND Support for console on Xilinx uartlite serial port
another inportant thing is that you enter the Physical address of your uartlite device in the >Kernel hacking menu.
All those settings are correct already, I'm using the default Petalinux image.
Thanks!
