Okay, so now we are back where we started. :)
Once you get the "Uncompressing..." message, RedBoot is largely
out of the picture. The kernel has taken over the hardware at
this point. Some thoughts:
* you probably want to pass a command line to the kernel telling the
kernel to use one of the serial ports as the serial console and the
baudrate to use.
* Configure the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_LL turned on. This will force
some characters out of the serial port early in the kernel boot process.
This should give you an indication that the kernel code is actually
executing.
As I mentioned before, there could be a RedBoot problem, but you will most
likely need to debug it from the kernel side.
>From my point of view, there doesn't seem to be a RedBoot bug with the IXDP425
port. You're porting to custom hardware. If you can't reproduce a problem on the
IXDP425, then you should be using the ecos-discuss list and/or the ARM linux
mailing list to ask for help.
