Getting boot prompt with Minicom

Hi All

My first post to this group, very much a newbie question for which I apologize.

I fired up my demo board, which is a SDP2430. I also have connected my PC to the board via a serial cable attached to Port 1 (J9) . I have set my Minicom settings to 115200 8 N 1, but am unable to get any prompt of any type.

Are these minicom settings correct ?

Should I have hardware flow control on ?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,

If you are using u-boot as bootloder then your UART cable should be connected to J8 (UART 1 2). Next to the Ethernet switch.

Minicom settings looks correct.
