another application is using JTAG UART????

Hi:

I boot uClinux on a customed board using the following steps.

1.load .pof file to configrure fpga

2. Build and upload kernel to sdram

3. Build and upload filesystem to flash

4.Using nios2-terminal to connect and boot kernel, I have following trouble:

nios2-terminal: Unable to connect to JTAG UART because another application

nios2-terminal: (nios2-terminal on 127.0.0.1)

nios2-terminal: is using it (or is using something else which clashes). Please c

lose

nios2-terminal: the other application and try again.

What is the other application? Why have I such problem? How to solve?

Can somebody help me? thx!!

    Looks like you have another instance of nios2-terminal running. This could be a separate terminal or one inside nios2-ide. It&#39;s probably one inside the nios2-ide. Try to close that one and try again.

    thank you,wgoossens:

    I have solved the problem with your way!

    But a new difficulty occurs: nios2-terminal displays messages“starting in terminal mode <control&#65293;C exit s>” but does&#39;t display log in prompt &#65306;&#65288;

    What should I do then?

    I&#39;m sorry if my problems trouble you.

    If this happens when you connect to a running system all you (probably) need to do is press <enter> and you wil get a nice login prompt.

    If you don&#39;t see any messages when the system boots while you&#39;re connected you probably haven&#39;t included Jtag-Uart support in the kernel OR you haven&#39;t got console=ttyJ0 as your kernel bootparameters. These settings are both correct by default so If you haven&#39;t changed them they&#39;re probably correct.

    of course,I&#39;m sure I have included a Jtag-Uart support. But I don&#39;t know where I can look/set "console=ttyJ0" .

    In your kernel config under:

    Processor type and features -> Default kernel command string
