Armada 38x BootROM has a bug which cause that BootROM's standard output
|
||||
is turned off on UART when SPI-NOR contains valid boot image. Nevertheless
|
||||
BootROM's standard input and BootROM's terminal echo are active and working
|
||||
fine. To workaround this BootROM bug with standard output, it is possible
|
||||
to manually overwrite BootROM variables stored in SRAM which BootROM use
|
||||
for checking if standard output is enabled or not. To enable BootROM
|
||||
standard output on UART, type this command folled by ENTER key:
