[ltp] serial port toast?

[David Arthur Wainberg]

Thanks for the response.

Firmware is already the latest. Could it help to reinstall it anyway?


# tpctl --rs1=enable --rs1=on

tpctl: serial port 1 has been enabled
tpctl: serial port 1 power management is disabled
resource state:                        ioaddr irq#   able? mode/power
   serial port 1:                       0x0   IRQ0  enable (error)

What does that mean? Is that like the port is there, but not really?
Does it suggest a software/firmware issue rather than a hardware
problem?

btw...

# tpctl --rs1 on
tpctl: Error scanning options.  Try 'tpctl --help'.

Thanks,

--D
