Hava bootup switches baud rate

When the Hava Titanium HD boots up the serial port operates at 115200 baud 8N1 while it’s in the RedBoot boot loader. When the Linux Kernel starts up it switches to 9600 baud 8N1 for all the boot messages. And just to make it interesting the script in /etc that starts the serial console switches back to 115200 baud 8N1.

The boot up shows that the Hava is running Linux version 2.6.17-uc1 (gcc version 3.4.4) and the cpu as XScale-IXP43x Family [69054041] revision 1 (ARMv5TE).

This Hava is still running the factory software load. There’s an update available but I wanted to dump the flash image before I let it update. The only way I’ve found so far to do the dump in Redboot is to dump to the console in Motorola s-record format and capture it. I’ve done about half of the flash images so far tonight but I’m tired so I’ll finish tomorrow. After that I’ll hook the Hava Titanium up to the internet and let it update to the latest firmware before I continue analyzing it.

Good night for now…
