Closed hasheddan closed 3 years ago

hasheddan commented 3 years ago

Updates the lxterm command to use serial-boot flag to load and boot linux images.

This appears to be required. I am testing on the Digilent Arty A7.

Hi @hasheddan,

thanks, using --serial-boot is not required. Can you describe the behavior on your hardware without?

hasheddan commented 3 years ago

@enjoy-digital thanks for letting me know! Is it supposed to fall back on serial boot by default? When I don't provide the flag, lxterm appears to hang and not do anything forever.

@enjoy-digital I just tried this out without serial-boot flag using artifacts posted in #206 and it seems to serial boot automatically. Thanks for the info and apologies for the noise :)
