Bob, I was having similar problems about 2 months back. I was porting the eb01/eb40 code over to an at91sam7se512. The uart PDC registers on the sam7 are at higher addresses than they were on the eb40 [and serial_atmel driver code]. Until I had located these registers correctly [padding the corresponding struct] I got early output but it stopped part way into the boot process (likely when interrupts were turned on). Sounds similar to your experience, but may not be relevant as I do not know what your target is.

Has anyone experienced an issue with including the Atmel serial driver and the console connection to the Atmel serial driver not allowing the system to continue to boot.

If i do not have the Atmel serial driver built into the kernel image the system boots to the romfs (/bin/init executed).

However if i have the Atmel serial driver built into the system (i do get output on a serial connection) it does not complete the boot process. It does not return from the flush_cpu_workqueue() function, executed by flush_workqueue() at the end of the kernel init sequence.

Just thought i'd ask if someone may have experienced this before and knows a solution to it.

Which /bin/init are you using? The default for busybox (1.0.0) init is to wait for a keypress on the console to continue. It may have changed in later versions, or you can use an /etc/inittab file to override it.

I'm using the init supplied in the uclinux distro 20070130. Though i'm not sure what i've stated here came across. When i have the Atmel serial driver working and compiled in the system it is not getting further in the initialization to start booting the romfs.

thanks bob
