To initialize the U-Boot firmware running on your canyonlands board, you
have to connect a terminal to the board's serial console port.
The default configuration of the console port on the canyonlands board
uses a baudrate of 115200/8N1 (115200 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
4.1. Serial Console Access
Make sure that both hardware and software flow control are
disabled.
