modifying internal storage.

u-boot loads detects initrd (it's small enough thanks to MODULES_STRIP to be detected without CRC errors) but no output from kernel.

https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=10044&p=51142&hilit=ac100#p51142

suggests CONFIG_TEGRA_DEBUG_UARTA instead of CONFIG_TEGRA_DEBUG_UART_AUTO_ODMDATA but it doesn't work for me.

dpavlin@klin:/klin/Tegra/linux$ grep 'TEGRA.*UART' .config
# CONFIG_TEGRA_DEBUG_UART_AUTO_ODMDATA is not set
CONFIG_TEGRA_DEBUG_UARTA=y
# CONFIG_TEGRA_DEBUG_UARTB is not set

serial port

https://ac100.grandou.net/serial_port_modification

The serial port is the JP1 connector, near the left speaker connector. Pinout, from right to left:

1 - in - RX UART1
2 - out - TX UART1
3 - out - T20_WAKE#
4 - out - +3V
5 - out - +1.8V
6
7
8 - in - SYSTEM_RESET#
9 - in - EC_TX80_PDATA
10 - in - GND

I decided to solder GND to outer pin of connector to the right of pin 1 as opposed to other side of connector.

After that, a peace of capton tape was put over solder connectors to somewhat re-enforce them and provide insulation
to keyboard cover.

Serial is 3.3V, 115200 8n1.

Output is:

dpavlin@nuc:/nuc/Tegra$ microcom -p /dev/ttyUSB2
connected to /dev/ttyUSB2
Escape character: Ctrl-\
Type the escape character to get to the prompt.

Error: invalid dtb and unrecognized/unsupported machine ID

Available machine support:

ID (hex)        NAME
ffffffff        Generic DT based system
ffffffff        NVIDIA Tegra SoC (Flattened Device Tree)

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

According to http://billauer.co.il/blog/2014/02/uboot-linux-dtb-fdt-device-tree/ this means that kernel didn't found valid device tree and tries to detect board usin machine ID registrars.

Solution for this seems to use u-boot variables for loading kernel, ramfs and dtb as opposed to values which script creates,
so this works (loading from usb keychain):

fatload usb 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} /boot/zImage
fatload usb 0:1 ${fdt_addr_r} /boot/tegra20-paz00.dtb
fatload usb 0:1 ${ramdisk_addr_r} /boot/uInitrd.new
bootz ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}

Here are also known working addresses which u-boot uses:

Tegra20 (Paz00) MOD # echo ${kernel_addr_r}
0x01000000
Tegra20 (Paz00) MOD # echo ${fdt_addr_r}
0x02000000
Tegra20 (Paz00) MOD # echo ${ramdisk_addr_r} 
0x02100000

so much higher in memory map than create_image script. However, u-boot seems to want to load at 0x108000 so it's inpractical
to generate huge image to load kernel, dtb and initramfs at correct addresses.
