1 The support for multiple serial interfaces as implemented is mainly
2 intended to allow for modem dial-in / dial-out while still being able
3 to use a serial console on a (different) serial port.
5 At the moment, the ports must be split on a SMC and a SCC port on a
6 8xx processor; other configurations are not (yet) supported.
8 Support for hardware handshake has not been implemented yet (but is
11 *) The default console depends on the keys pressed:
12 - SMC if keys not pressed (modem not enabled)
13 - SCC if keys pressed (modem enabled)
15 *) The console can be switched to SCC by any of the following commands:
17 setenv stdout serial_scc
18 setenv stdin serial_scc
19 setenv stderr serial_scc
21 *) The console can be switched to SMC by any of the following commands:
23 setenv stdout serial_smc
24 setenv stdin serial_smc
25 setenv stderr serial_smc
27 *) If a file descriptor is set to "serial" then the current serial device
28 will be used which, in turn, can be switched by above commands.
30 *) The baudrate is the same for all serial devices. But it can be switched
31 just after switching the console:
33 setenv sout serial_scc; setenv baudrate 38400
35 After that press 'enter' at the SCC console. Note that baudrates <38400
36 are not allowed on LWMON with watchdog enabled (see CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE in
37 include/configs/lwmon.h).
