AT91 EB40(A) board serial port issues?


Okay, I inserted 'das blinkenlights' throughout the ecos hal and redboot
and it all looks good.  The code enter's redboot's while(true) loop where
the prompt ("redboot>") is printed to the serial port.  I forced it to print
to the serial port on each loop iteration so I could try to see something
in minicom.  I run it from gdb, ctrl-z out of gdb and the serial-out led is
still steadily blinking assuring me that redboot is still pumping out prompts.
  
I run 'minicom -o' but all I see is garbage.  I used 8N1 with no flow control
and tried every baud rate from 9600 to 115200.  Could the clock freq of this
the AT91R80004 (used in the EB40A) be such that the usart freq is 'just off' 
from what the pc can read?  I find this very unlikely.  Can anyone offer
other suggestions to try and fix this?

Thanks,

-tim
