UBootInit < DULG

%SECTION0{name=UBootInit}% Initialization

To initialize the U-Boot firmware running on your %BOARDNAME% board, you
have to connect a terminal to the board's serial console port.

The default configuration of the console port on the %BOARDNAME% board
uses a baudrate of %CONSOLE_BAUDRATE%/8N1 (%CONSOLE_BAUDRATE% bps, 8
Bit per character, no parity, 1 stop bit, =no=
handshake).

If you are running Linux on your host system we recommend either
=kermit= or =cu= as terminal
emulation programs. Do *not* use
=minicom=, since this has caused problems for many
users, especially for software download over the serial port. Other possibilities include =screen= and =picocom=, which both seem to work well.

For the configuration of your terminal program see section
%REF{type=Section,topic=SystemSetup,name=SerialConsoleAccess}%

Make sure that both hardware and software flow control are
*disabled*.
