where do printk() messages go to in the kernel I got with the OMAP35xx board?

Hi,

I read that printk() messages went to /var/log/message file. But in the file system that was shipped with the OMAP35xx EVM, I don't even see a /var folder.

Apparently there is a syslogd utility running bit I don't see a /etc/syslogd.conf file either.

Thanks,

Karina

I believe it goes to UART output, hence you will need to connect a serial terminal utility (such as hyperterm, teraterm, minicom...) to see the output.

yes you are right! I had to use dev_info() in my driver to get it ot show up in the console or change the log level.

Thanks!
