Since its GPL tarball is not available fully, I began to build a toolchain based on gcc-3.4.6 and binutils-2.16.1, and an up-to-date kernel for it. PPCboot states that this is a Sandpoint 8241 Unity board, so the platforms/sandpoint.* was chosen as a starting point, however, after rewriting the irq and ioport values in sandpoint.h to the ones (irq 137, ioport 0x80004500), no output came out of the serial port. After a few days of tweaking around with variables is sandpoint.h, a google session revealed that this board is 99% the same as the Buffalo Linkstation's is, which has a 2.6.x port also, but those kernels are also failing to display any output. Can anyone shed some light on what points should I check and what may I have done wrong? Regards, Zoltan HERPAI
