Topic: OE Console output

I'm trying many images which after the initial Angstrom loading screen (or after nothing at all) go blank. I think these images are made for the Hacker board which has a serial output. How do I force the console output onto the chumby's screen instead?

Re: OE Console output

Uh sorry, I have an infocast 8 and a few 3.5s. I just call them Chumbies sometimes smile I'm working on the Insignia 8. Apologies if the instructions are different..

^^^ Serial console

Look for GuyC's posts, a fresh GIT of OE doesn't seem to quite work.
We're using the same OE as the one in the AMI/VM images provided by Bunnie to get anything to boot...

Re: OE Console output

I wouldn't play with OE without the serial console.  How did you expect set it up/tweak it until you had all the setup scripts right?

Re: OE Console output

The screen is big enough that I can debug with a keyboard in the console, although it is annoying.

Where would I get this special OE?
