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

[Brian S. Park]

Thank you for your reply.

Though I don't remember where, I saw somewhere that I need to enable 
CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO for 405gp processor.

I tried disabling it and serial terminal does not work any more.
It looks like I have to figure out a way to use interrupt driven serial 
port without the hand shake.

Thank you for the info.
