MCF5485EVB Board Console problems

[Chris Xenophontos]

Hello,
In continuing to port a previous application to an MCF5485EVB board
with RTEMS 4.10.2,
We're having problems initializing the console. Currently, we
successfully configured as follows:

./rtems-4.10.2/configure --target=m68k-rtems4.10
--enable-rtemsbsp=m5484FireEngine --prefix=/opt/rtems-4.10

gmake RTEMS_BSP="m5484FireEngine" install


The problem is that when CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_CONSOLE_DRIVER is #defined,
Either the application is not initializing, or no output is sent
through serial port.  Only way to get any
messages to console window is to use printk.

The snipped below had previously worked as shown, on MCF5235 board
with RTEMS 4.9 - no issues with console.

Is additional configuration required for m5484FireEngine BSP?

thanks
Chris Xenophontos
