[U-Boot-Users] Serial terminal & u-Boot

[Brian S. Park]

Hi all,
I'm using u-Boot 0.4.0 with our custom board based on IBM walnut.
I noticed that if I do not have the HyperTerminal running, the boot process 
never proceeds.

If I power up the target with out HyperTerminal running, it never comes up. 
As soon as start HyperTerminal, I see print out for Kernel download and the 
board boots up. It looks as though it was waiting for the serial 
communication before it starts downloading the kernel over the ethernet.

Is this normal behavior? Is there a way to make it boot up regardless of 
whether a serial terminal is connected or not?

Thank you

Brian
