After a marathon debugging session, digging into potential differences between our ppc64le server and Luke's x86 box, we've narrowed down the most likely candidate to a problem in the external UART core. Confirming this issue is solved by uncommenting the "`define DATA_BUS_WIDTH_8" line in uart16550/rtl/verilog/uart_defines.v. A full build on the ppc64le server followed by a test on the Raptor Versa 85 board resulted in coldboot starting up and printing correct data to UART as expected.

(are defines global in other words) |
