Hello everyone,

my freshly build uclinux-dist-trunk-svn-7972 for surveyor srv1 is behaving strange.

it boots up, but in the console i have the following issues:

- i can't change to mode char. i hit the escape character ^] an type mode char, nothing happens, new line.

- in telnet mode i type

telnet> status

Connected to 192.168.0.5.

Escape character is '^]'.

... nothing, i hit enter and i am back at:

#

- my login says #, not root:/

- on just hitting enter i get

#

# #

# #

sometimes even a "syntax error".

some infos:

# version

kernel:    Linux release 2.6.28.9-ADI-2009R1-pre, build #1 Thu Apr 16 10:05:25 CEST 2009

toolchain: bfin-uclinux-gcc release gcc-Version 4.1.2 (ADI svn)

user-dist: release 2008R1, build #1 Do 16. Apr 10:08:53 CEST 2009

i first did the make with the stock toolchain in ubuntu (via apt-get),

then i replaced it with

blackfin-toolchain-uclinux-SVN.i386.tar.bz2

blackfin-toolchain-linux-uclibc-SVN.i386.tar.bz2

from alpha.

I thought at least

user-dist: release 2008R1, build #2 Do 16. Apr 13:52:22 CEST 2009

would change after updating the toolchain, but it didn't.

(or is the user-dist output something else?)

i don't know what the problem is, any hints?

Hmm my board uses a uart to wlan converter. (Matchport)

So my telnet login goes through dev/ttyBF0.

Maybe the serial settings have changed in Trunk?

Maybe tips in that direction?

Message: 72779    You mentioned in one of your previous emails that your prompt changed as

well.

I guess the whole issue is caused by copying your old user space config

into a recent uClinux-dist.

I bet you miss some busybox options etc.

Ok i have solved the problem.

Pretty easy, as always, if you know how it is done.

Just include:

- BusyBox -> Busybox Settings -> Busybox Library Tuning ->

-> Command line editing

-> vi-style line editing commands

-> Tab completion

-> Fancy shell prompts

and everything is fine.

JFYI!
