Hi Everyone,
I just go my hands on the BealeBoard but I am having strange issues with the serial terminal. I am using the right cables and also getting thre U Boot messages and BeagleBoard prompt. The following though is not understood…
-
I am using a Windows PC (and making sure all the right settings and flow-control NONE) but the native windows utility Hyperterm is unable to show any output on the shell… Though Tera-Term shows the boot procedure fine and the Beagle prompt too…
-
I am unable to get a serial connection running (even with TeraTerm) if I use the RS232 port on the PC. Though the specified port is available, no output is received… Only through a USB to SERIAL adapter (and only TeraTerm) do I get the boot messages.
-
This is the BIGGEST problem though : The messages coming from BB to PC are fine, but whatever I type, most of it gets garbled (junk) on the terminal. I am unable to type setenv & boot command to boot the Kernel from MMC because of this. In fact almost nothing can be done as 80-100 % of the text gets as Junk on the terminal. Is this a Bad Serial Terminal on the board ? I have tried replacing cables, adapters, etc. Should I go for an RMA ?
Please help…
