Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138
Hello friends,
I have a custom board with AM1808 and a FPGA. Serial port is connected to the AM1808 trough FPGA. I am trying to erase the flash memory using sfh_OMAP-L138.exe. Serial port is connected to UART0. After running
sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -erase -v -targetType AM1808 -flashType NAND -p COM6, the tools is stuck in "Waiting for SFT on the OMAP-L138... " as you see below.

Waiting for SFT on the OMAP-L138...
I checked the source code, the SP is stuck in UART_open function in below line:
// Wait until the UART is not currently transmitting data
while((UART->LSR & 0x40) == 0x0);
Somehow bit 6 ( TEMT ) in LSR register is 1 all the time. and it means "Both the transmitter FIFO and the transmitter shift register (TSR) are empty".
Now my question is, did you have any similar issue before?
