Subject: [Buildroot] Problems connecting to AT91SAM9260

I want to connect to the ARM board mentioned in the subject with
minicom.
So I connected the board with the RS232 interface and the USB_D
interface to my host PC and configured minicom with the following
parameters:
115200, 8bits, 1stop, no parity, no flow
Then I powered up the board. It started sending some datas to minicom
about the boot process. Then it ended up with the lines:
Uncompressing Linux...RomBOOT
>RomBOOT

I don't get the chance to communicate with the board. How can I
communicate with minicom?

Can you please give us a hint or tell us what the problem is all about

Following the datas which the minicom receives from the board:

[b]root at littel-laptop:/home/littel/buildroot# minicom


Willkommen zu minicom 2.3-rc1
