[chbot] XH1151 uClinux - How to bring up a serial console

[Yani Dubin]

Hi Mark,

Thanks - just got a "W90N740 Boot Loader [ Version 1.1 $Revision: 6 $
] Rebuilt on Sep 26 2003".

For anyone else trying to bring one of these devices with uClinux
preloaded up, here are my findings.

The baud rates Mark suggested are correct - all it took was a null
modem cable set to 115200 8N1. But there is one further gotcha -
cycling the power at the bench supply doesn't get you a bootloater, or
eventually a busybox shell. You need to use the reset button on the
back of the device. I'd more or less given up in frustration when I
decided to try that and it burst into life :)

Cheers,
Yani.
