Hi Sergei, I specified that when the bootloader calls the kernel and I did see that the baudrate is correct and I have some messages but when the system is crashing I cannot see printk messages. For instance, I step with JTAG and I can see that printk(KERNEL_WARNING "unable to open initial console") is called but on the terminal I cannot see the message. The same, die() is called but there is no messages on UART terminal.
