charset problem with ts-5700 on /dev/ttyUSB0
 

hi there,

i've got a new ts-5700 evaluation-board
( http://www.embeddedarm.com/epc/ts5700-spec-h.html )
when i try to boot (using minicom, screen or gtkterm) as a terminal
i can properly see the bois ouput of the device and also normally
interact with the bios (enter setup, etc.)
nevertheless, as soon as the real boot-process starts, it gives no more
real characters but unreadable symbols.

any ideas?

thanks,

toby

At first glance it looks like the baud rate changed. Have you contacted Technologic Systems yet?

thanks for your reply,
yes, i contacted them, but they did not respond by now. i also thought
about the baud-rate, but i tried most if not all possible settings without
success... :cry:

i've solved the problem now, technologic systems couldn't tell me what's wrong but told me to set a jumper to switch the baudrate from 9600 to 115200 what works now.
thanks anyway!

Well done. What are your impressions of the board.

the board itself is quite ok, it has got some minor
problems though, like for example you cannot use
the wall-mounted power-supply and the pcmcia-slot
at the same time cause the plug of the power-supply
physically blocks the pcmcia slot..
