[Voyage-linux] Alix 3d3 serial port

[Edward Yang]

Hi,

We tried to make use of Alix3D3's serial port but it doesn't work in Award BIOS.

Below is the reply I got from PCEngines.

I have a Alix3D2 that comes with no VGA, with tinyBIOS, and it's access through /dev/ttyS0.

Hope this info helps.

Regards,
Edward Yang

I remove all the:

- bios
- grub|lilo
- inittab
- something other?

and no communication.
Also if I try only to power on the alix board (without CF installed with
voyage) the behavior it's the same!

So, I'm here not for say that it's a voyage problem, but for ask if someone had use that serial before and how!


Thanks,
Michele
