Subject: Baud rate problems with the EST SBC8260 board

Yesterday afternoon, I pulled down the Linux 2.3 Bitkeeper
	tree with rsync.

	rsync -avz --delete hq.fsmlabs.com::linuxppc_2_3 linuxppc_2_3

	This pile of bits includes Dan Malek ([email-masked]) MPC8260 port
	for the EST SBC8260 board.  I configured the kernel, but ran into
	problems with arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c referencing things that
	don't exist.  I remove the items that were giving me grief, but
	this was only a quick hack.  A longer term solution would make
	them configureable, so they don't get in the way.

	I was able to compile and link the Linux kernel, but when I ran
	it on the EST SBC8260 board the baud rate appeared to be wrong.  A
	few characters were appearing, but they appeared to be random
	noise.

	I have a few questions concerning the serial console port
	configuration:

	- What serial port is used for the console?  I am assuming that is
	  SMC1.

	  The comments in arch/ppc/mbxboot/m8260_tty.c, indicate the
	  console is on SMC1.  Who calls serial_init?  It doesn't appear
	  to get called from head_8260.S?

	  Are you relying on the monitor do this initialization for you?

	  We are using the VxWorks BSP monitor, is this what is being
	  used by Dan Malek?

	  CPU: EST Corp. est8260 -- MPC8260 PowerQUICC II SBC
	  Version: 5.4
          BSP version: 1.2/3

	  In
	  http://lists.linuxppc.org/listarcs/linuxppc-embedded/200004/msg00158.html
	  Dan talks about
	  "MontaVista has a boot rom with minimal debug support."  Is this
	  different from the VxWorks BSP monitor?

	- What is the baud rate of the console port?

	- What is the speed of the crystal on SBC8260 board?  25 Mhz, 33Mhz,
	  or 50 Mhz?

	- What clock multiplier are you using for the CPM?
