Well several TIers and others in the LT have been using that fine on Panda.
It might be worth making sure you have earlycon=ttyO2,115200,n8 earlyprintk=1 in you kernel commandline.
Also, we test it with Device Tree boot, where did you bootloader come from / what's your kernel commandline?
Hi Andy,
I am sorry, the problem was at my end. I was using a very old x-loader and u-boot. I switched to the u-boot-linaro-stable git and it seem to boot just fine now.
Is it documented clearly (perhaps in the tilt git repo page) that booting the kernel in DT mode requires an updated u-boot?
No, but it's not exactly new: U-Boot has been workable with DT boot on our kernels for like a year. The issue here was Ramakrishnan's U-Boot was ancient or built without DT support configured.
It might make sense to list the circumstances under which we test and what should be expected... the original problem in this thread is that the user has a blaze and we don't, that's a piece of information that could save trouble.
