[U-Boot-Users] RE: LCD on OMAP2430

[Goswami Jigisha-ejg014]

I got the U-Boot prompt on my serial console now. The problem was with
setting of one of the display clocks. 
However, I still get stdout: serial. I am trying to setup JTAG debugger
to debug the U-Boot and see what is 
happening. Meanwhile, I looked at the console.c file and it seems like
the overwrite_console() function must 
be returning 0 (because I have define CONFIG_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV ). But in
the console_init_r() function, my 
lcd device is not found probably so it is using serial as stdout. Does
it mean my device is not being 
registered with U-Boot framebuffer? I am using the common lcd.c and
lcd.h files for common functions like 
registering the device etc. and am defining my board specific routines
in a different file. Any help is greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Jigisha

Are you sure that it hangs? Do you have the  LCD  display  connected?
What do you see on it.

Read the code. If LCD is enabled, both stdout and stderr will  go  to
the  LCD by default - which is probably why you don't see anything so
you think the board is hanging while it's running fine.

Try typing a few times ENTER, followed by a  "setenv  stdout  serial"
(even if you don't see any echo for your typing).
