It does not, I see the Writefile blocking until char is sent. I need to know why and how to fix this! My Windows image has all of latest drivers in it.

The result from the function pmic_get_revision function is: rev1=3, rev2=3, icid=2, finid=0. However, switching into lolo version 2.4.0 makes the pmic non-functional.

Does anyone have the programming manual I only have the Data Brief. I am not sure how different it is from the Philips 1504 chip, which the MX27ADS board...

0 Replies and 1616 Views LogicLoader script to collect user input  1616  0 Started by  MarkH I am using LogicLoader (Lolo) version 2.4.0. I have searched the documentation, and have not found anywhere where it shows how to do the following: I would like to be able to present a short menu of choices to the user, and have the user input the selection. For example: 1) Run 'bootme' 2) Run 'exec' string 3) Boot image from NAND 4) Return to Lolo shell Enter choice: I would not expect the user to have to enter 'setvar selection 1'. Any one have any ideas Thank you. MarkH
