Where were you able to find a RevA version? I wasn't aware they were publically available.

It came from a CompUSA store; it's simply what I got while purchasing a DSM-G600 with absolutely no regard to what version it was.

Also noteworthy -

The firmware for this revision is a simple tar file containing a kernel and two ramdisks

Ok here's the RedBoot and Kernel console logs.

NOTE: The MiniPCI wireless card, ethernet,  and disk were not plugged during the boot.
TX to the box was _not_ hooked up on this try so my CTRL-C fell on deaf ears smile.

I pulled GND from the HD connector.

The voltage levels already appear to be level shifted to -5.5V, so I just hooked up ground and RX on my DB-9.

The 2x5 (10-pin header) has TX from the device on Pin number 5.

1 2
3 4
TX 6
7 8
9 10

Thx to mbm for pointing out the Rev A issue for the XScale box and that he thought pin 5 was the output.

Other tidbits.

I forget to mention the serial is 115200,8n.

Pin 3 is RX to the device (DSM-G600).
Pin 5 is TX from the device (DSM-G600).
Pin 9 is GND.

There's a Sipex part handing the 3.3 to 5V voltage conversion.

RedBoot passes the command line to the kernel which is a good thing.  The fis commands are there be create is missing.  The tftp loading doesn't seem to be working.

I played a little with trying to x|y modem a new kernel down, but I don't think my laptop is fully setup for it.

I mounted a flash stick and microdrive on the USB ports, both where ext2/3 file systems.

The microdrive has an unofficial Debian BE build on it.  I chroot'ed in and was running Debian Sarge on the box.

I may setup JTAG and work on reflashing to 2.6.15+  soon.

It's late for me.

Cheers

Ok last update before I get some sleep.

I didn't have the compression/decompression sw installed on the laptop.  So ymodem transfers do work via the RedBoot serial port.

From the RedBoot prompt  you do something like this:

RedBoot> load -r -v  -b 0x600000 -m ymodem

Then CTRL-A S to send from minicom, pick ymodem, the file one wants,  and then wait for a bit as it xfers.

My 2.6.15 kernel gets to trying to load the rootfs.  But the PCI interrupt mapping isn't setup properly, ditto for the USB controller and GPIOs.  Once I straighten those out it should be much happier.  I was just lazy and _had to try_  booting into the unofficial Debian BE rootfs.

I"ve got about another 11 hours before I'll have had the box for a day. Hopefully after some sleep, I"ll straighten out the setup and post the extra files I dumped.

The serial header appears to match the 10-pin serial headers found on older motherboards; had I have known that ahead of time I could have saved a ton of time wiring it.

If you hold down the reset button while turning on the device you get new menu -
