create_uboot dependencies?

We have a Serial-to-USB cable connected to the Serial interface of the
board and a USB port of the testing machine. Then you can catch the
output via 'picocom' for instance. The implementation of the UART driver
is [1]. It uses 1 stop bit, a baudrate of 115200, and no parity. So, the
following works for me:

sudo picocom -p n -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

Even if your Genode doesn't come up you should at least see some output
from the Uboot like this:

U-Boot 2015.10-00237-g92e40f5-dirty (Dec 04 2015 - 15:37:04 +0100)
CPU:   Freescale i.MX6Q rev1.2 at 792 MHz
Reset cause: POR
Board: Wandboard rev B1
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  2 GiB
MMC:   FSL_SDHC: 0, FSL_SDHC: 1
No panel detected: default to HDMI
Display: HDMI (1024x768)
In:    serial
Out:   serial
Err:   serial
Net:   FEC [PRIME]
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  1
U-Boot SPL 2015.10-00237-g92e40f5-dirty (Dec 04 2015 - 15:37:04)


Did this help?
