[Buildroot] Problems connecting to AT91SAM9260

[Jens Kleinhans]

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

Why are you sending this to the buildroot and rtai lists? An atmel list /
support seems like a better option.

AT91sam ml or AT91.com should be better for that support.

Your problem is not related to minicom. It's not related to buildroot
either. Most probably, your kernel simply doesn't boot, and there's a
huge load of possible reasons for that. You should really follow the
instructions found at the place or from the people you got the patchset
from. Or in last instance, go to linux-arm-kernel and ask for help
there. But I doubt that there will be much ambition to support such an
old version.

Again, this is the wrong list for that. And please don't cross-post
again. Everyone answering to your mails will get a bounce from rtai.org.
