Hello,

today i got the yosemite board with titan 1.2.
Currently I have problems to get the kernel 2.6.10.rc1 running (it runs on the old yosemite quite well). The first thing I noticed is that after starting the kernel no output on the console is printed. On the new yosemite board I got, the external UART chip (U36) is not mounted anymore. Could that cause my problems?

Is there anybody how can send my a .config file to get the yosemite working?

Best regards

Hi,

if you want to use the internal UART, you need an adapted kernel from PMC. The kernel from linux-mips.org only supports the external UART chip. You can download an adapted source archive from the PMC-Sierra ftp site.

Hi,

on the ftp site of PMC I only found kernel 2.4.26 sources supporting internal UART.
I need kernel 2.6.
Is it planed to integrate internal UART support to linux-mips.org 2.6 sources?

Why PMC-Sierra removed the external UART chip?
So it is not possible to use current yosemite boards with linux-mips.org :-(

Beste regards

They have recently (about one week ago) uploaded a kernel 2.6 that supports the internal UART.

Not without the external UART chip. On my board with chip revision 1.2 the external UART chip is still present. I just had to change some resistor stuffing option to make it work.

Hi,

thanx, now I found the 2.6 sources with internal UART support. I was probably blind. :-)

Best regards
