I just got my new DVI cape, but it doesn't appear to be working yet.

Hi,
   I use Narcissus to build images for my CraneBoard. In the very early
morning hours (in the U.S.), I have better success in it working past the
"Preconfiguring Image" stage. I use the advanced build option in order to
make an Intel 32 bit SDK.

However, if I add a reasonable number of packages to it, it seems to get
stuck after "checking off" all of the "Installing Packages" entries.

Is there a workaround for this? I'm not an advanced enough user to debug
the actions of Narcissus and to see why it's getting stuck. Are there any
comments by the authors as to why this happens?

Thanks for any insight that you can provide!

Sounds like the serial port is not set correctly. It should be 115K,n,8,1 is the right setting with no handshaking. It is all USB so there is no wiring issues. You might also make sure you have the correct driver installed.

This is how my host is configured:

$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
vfat 18560 0
fat 53944 1 vfat
ftdi_sio 62216 1
usbserial 40640 3 ftdi_sio
hidp 23296 1

$ ls -Fhl /dev/*eagl* /dev/ttyUSB*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 2 17:30 /dev/beaglebone-jtag -> ttyUSB0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 2 17:30 /dev/beaglebone-serial ->

crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 1 Feb 2 17:32 /dev/ttyUSB1
$

And this is how my serial console looks:

Bummer. I'm kind of lost as to why the connection is dropping
characters. Unfortunately, right now I don't have another
host computer to try.

Can you send a dump of what is getting printed out?

Yes, it is in the previous (and now this) post as the output
of an ls command. I could generate more like that; but it is
never the same, so never mind. I'll move one. Sorry for
wasting bits in the group.

Going back to the original theme of this post, the pinout of the
EEPROM can be found at:

http://pinout-circuits-images.dz863.com/285/CAT24C256.jpg

As per usual, pin 1 is indicated by a dimple. I gave up on the de-
soldering operation, and snipped the pin. I couldn't think of a reason
why I would want write protection in the future for this board.

As an aside to the forum moderator(s): I haven't figured out how to
change the title of this thread, and I originated it. I don't think it
reflects reality, and I'd like to edit it. Is this possible, and how?
