Hi there,

I currently have a Motorola DEXT¹ and I'm attempting to port SHR to it.
The DEXT has very similar hardware to the HTC Dream; the same MSM7201A
SoC and the same RTR6285 radio.

I've tried to load the .fastboot kernel for the HTC Dream by flashing it
to the "boot" MTD partition.  (I used the flash_image command because
the DEXT's bootloader doesn't allow fastboot.)  Unfortunately, this did
not work.  The wiki page for installing the HTC Dream² says to wait "a
very long time" for it to boot.  I'm not sure how long "a very long
time" is but I waited a good 10-15 minutes and the screen just continued
displaying the Motorola symbol as it does before changing to the Android
boot screen ordinarily.

Poking around in SHR's HTC Dream kernel configuration, I noticed the
command line:

  CONFIG_CMDLINE="mem=64M console=ttyMSM,115200n8"

In particular, the ttyMSM console interests me.  What is this device?
It appears as though it's a serial port.  Assuming a similar hardware
configuration to the HTC Dream, is it possible to get access to this
console output through the mini-USB port?  If not, how might one access
it?

Regards,

Bob Ham
