UART Problems booting linux on est8260

[Latsky Sterren-LTSS001]

Hi.

I'm trying to boot linux-2.4.22 on the est8260 board using U-boot-1.1.1, but the serial interface corrupts after this line comes up:

=> bootm
## Booting image at 00400000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux 2.4.22
   Created:      2004-08-10  15:55:04 UTC

   Data Size:    523580 Bytes = 511.3 kB

   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK

Linux version 2.4.22 (ltss001 at linux) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)) #3
..
Kernel command line: root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/tftpboot/192.168.0.2
ip=192.168.0.2:192.168.0.1::255.255.255.0::off panic=1
...
CPM UART driver version 0.01

I have looked around and found that the next line should say something like

ttyS00 at 0x8000 is a SCC

But all I get is garbage like musical notes and square root signs streaming onto the terminal. I have tried changing the baud rate when this comes up to all the other options but I still don't read anything coherent.

When configuring the kernel I tried just loading the est8260_config, then building without editing the menuconfig, when that didn't work I went to menuconfig > Character devices and fiddled around with various options in there but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Sterren Latsky
