Hello,
Yeah , I tried running minicom on both the ends , the serial
communication
is OK , but I am not geting anything when I run with DOC Mill , Pls see the
following
which I followed ,
*** I AM USING SIS630(PRIYA LOCAL MAKE MOTHER BOARD***************
1. I am using Redhat 7.1(kerenel-2.4.2-2).----------My host machine
2. Downloaded kernel-2.4.0-test12.(into some place in my host m/c)
3. Untarred and applied linux-2.4.0-tes12-sis630-sisfb_lite.patch
copied config-2.4.0-test12.sis to .config then
make oldconfig
make clean
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
4. Downloaded frebios-20010321 and tarred it
cd /freebios-20010321/util/config
run--NLBCOnfig with path name of the freebios20010321 source tree.
5. cd /target directory and run make
6. Got MTD from net i.e----mtd-snaphsot-20010401.tar
Untar it
cd /mtd/util,sh -x MAKEDEV,make
install erase utility into /usr/bin
7. set up flash_on utility
cd /freebios-20010321/util/sis/flash_on.c and make utility and put it in
/usr/bin
8. replaced the existing bios with DOC-MIL and run burn_mtd
9. power off the machine and turn it back on(without shutting down the system).
NOTE:-
***** from step 4-to 9 I used newly built kernel( ie rebooted with new built
kernel
(bzImage of linux-2.4.0-test12 ))
***** hooked up a serial line to other m/c which is also running minicom.
***** did't get any output.
Any mistakes please correct.
Thanks
Pradeep
