Re: 8260 console problems

I've been trying to get Linux going on an 8260 board (EST's SBC8260 eval
board to be exact) and I have ppcboot starting the kernel. ppcboot sets
up SMC1 at 9600 bps as its console, and when Linux starts up, it
starts running SMC1 at 115200 bps. How do I make Linux keep SMC1
at 9600 bps?

It  seems  you  forgot  to  modify   the   "bd_info"   structure   in
"include/asm-ppc/est8260.h""  to  match  the  definition as passed by
PPCBoot.

Read the PPCBoot README, too.

...and you will have to modify arch/ppc/mbxboot/embed_config.c because
the 8260 may not expect a boot rom to hand it a bd_info.  I don't
remember how I left it......it may just fill in some hard coded values.
