Hi everyone,

I am trying to boot my custom TI AM3517 board through its serial port.

I downloaded Nishant Menon's "omap-u-boot-utils" and followed the instructions at:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardRecovery#UART_recovery

Halfway through step 5, at:
./ukermit -p /dev/ttyS0 -f u-boot.bin

Nothing happens. The screen just simply hangs and messages come up. Before I continue tyring to debug this, I just want to know, is serial booting still supported under U-Boot?

Which U-Boot version is this exactly? And which exact U-Bootcommands did you use?

Maybe you can be so kind and tell us which exact "messages come up" ?

Best regards,
