[00:03:14] <xcko> when booting with the serial interface connected, I get a line in minicom saying "hit any key to stop autoboot" yet hitting anything in minicom doesn't seem to stop it - is there a key combo meant to be pressed on the teres or is my minicom setup off?
[00:08:25] <lukas2511> did you disable hardware flow control?
[00:11:05] <xcko> no I'll try that
[00:12:45] <xcko> lukas2511: thanks that worked
[00:54:13] <xcko> preferred serial communication tool? I see cu, minicom, or kermit on the uboot homepage
[01:16:50] <jo0nas> "screen" can be used for serial communication
[01:24:04] <xcko> gnu screen the multiplexer? I'm trying to make the teres boot off of an sdcard
[01:32:49] <lukas2511> xcko: yes, the multiplexer multibeast, "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200"
[01:33:46] <lukas2511> i use that most of the time, far more convenient than minicom. i only use minicom when the line has some weird settings or when i need file transfer over the serial line
[07:35:36] <xcko> I'm trying to boot the teres off of an sd card to install khumarahn's gentoo image. If the sd card contains the gentoo or ubuntu image, neither boot automatically. Now I'm trying to use the serial interface to find out why. If I use the mmc info or mmc list commands, I only get "No MMC device available". Same if I run mmc rescan. however fatls mmc 2:1 works. What can I do to make the teres boot off of the sd
[07:35:42] <xcko> card or find out why it doesn't automatically
[07:36:54] <xcko> tested with two different sd cards, both imaged with dd if=ubuntuorgentoo.img of=/dev/mmcblkX
[07:43:12] <xcko> one of the sd cards has been used to boot off of before with the official image, and it succeeded weeks back. Not sure why it doesn't work now
