[Ebolinux-devel] Upgrade problems with an eB103 (R2A)

[Jon-Erling D. <jo...@ga...>]

Hi,

I have some problems upgrading my ebox with the CVS version of ebolinux.
I have an eB103 R2A manufactured 00W47. The box works fine, and I can surf
to it on http://172.24.85.154/forum/, but there are no configuration
options there, only bundle control and SMS simulator. It seems that it
might be a production version I got my hands on.

That might explain why the serial port is not enabled. I've tried both
using minicom and start_ews_serial, but none of that worked. Instead
I tried the start_ews_eth which seem to work. After I reboot I can connect
using minicom, and I get a lot of output (included last in the mail).

The problem is that I don't get a prompt. Do I need to to type some magic
key sequence in order to get a prompt? What am I doing wrong?

Also, pressing Ctrl-D when booting, gives me the boot loader prompt, but
no matter what I write I get 'Access denied'...

Any help appreciated.

thanks,
joda

Output from startup after start_ews_serial:
