2 bool "Enable Driver Model for serial drivers"
5 Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
6 drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
7 implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
8 defined in include/serial.h.
11 bool "Enable an early debug UART for debugging"
13 The debug UART is intended for use very early in U-Boot to debug
14 problems when an ICE or other debug mechanism is not available.
17 - Make sure your UART supports this interface
18 - Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_UART
19 - Enable the CONFIG for your UART to tell it to provide this interface
20 (e.g. CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_NS16550)
21 - Define the required settings as needed (see below)
22 - Call debug_uart_init() before use
23 - Call debug_uart_putc() to output a character
25 Depending on your platform it may be possible to use this UART before
28 If your UART does not support this interface you can probably add
29 support quite easily. Remember that you cannot use driver model and
30 it is preferred to use no stack.
32 You must not use this UART once driver model is working and the
33 serial drivers are up and running (done in serial_init()). Otherwise
34 the drivers may conflict and you will get strange output.
37 prompt "Select which UART will provide the debug UART"
40 config DEBUG_UART_NS16550
43 Select this to enable a debug UART using the ns16550 driver. You
44 will need to provide parameters to make this work. The driver will
45 be available until the real driver model serial is running.
47 config DEBUG_EFI_CONSOLE
51 Select this to enable a debug console which calls back to EFI to
52 output to the console. This can be useful for early debugging of
53 U-Boot when running on top of EFI (Extensive Firmware Interface).
54 This is a type of BIOS used by PCs.
59 Select this to enable a debug UART using the serial_s5p driver. You
60 will need to provide parameters to make this work. The driver will
61 be available until the real driver-model serial is running.
65 config DEBUG_UART_BASE
66 hex "Base address of UART"
69 This is the base address of your UART for memory-mapped UARTs.
71 A default should be provided by your board, but if not you will need
72 to use the correct value here.
74 config DEBUG_UART_CLOCK
75 int "UART input clock"
78 The UART input clock determines the speed of the internal UART
79 circuitry. The baud rate is derived from this by dividing the input
82 A default should be provided by your board, but if not you will need
83 to use the correct value here.
85 config DEBUG_UART_SHIFT
86 int "UART register shift"
88 default 0 if DEBUG_UART
90 Some UARTs (notably ns16550) support different register layouts
91 where the registers are spaced either as bytes, words or some other
92 value. Use this value to specify the shift to use, where 0=byte
93 registers, 2=32-bit word registers, etc.
96 bool "Sandbox UART support"
97 depends on SANDBOX && DM
99 Select this to enable a seral UART for sandbox. This is required to
100 operate correctly, otherwise you will see no serial output from
101 sandbox. The emulated UART will display to the console and console
102 input will be fed into the UART. This allows you to interact with
105 The operation of the console is controlled by the -t command-line
106 flag. In raw mode, U-Boot sees all characters from the terminal
107 before they are processed, including Ctrl-C. In cooked mode, Ctrl-C
108 is processed by the terminal, and terminates U-Boot. Valid options
111 -t raw-with-sigs Raw mode, Ctrl-C will terminate U-Boot
112 -t raw Raw mode, Ctrl-C is processed by U-Boot
113 -t cooked Cooked mode, Ctrl-C terminates
115 config UNIPHIER_SERIAL
116 bool "Support for UniPhier on-chip UART"
117 depends on ARCH_UNIPHIER && DM_SERIAL
119 If you have a UniPhier based board and want to use the on-chip
120 serial ports, say Y to this option. If unsure, say N.
123 bool "Support for 16550 serial port on x86 machines"
127 Most x86 machines have a ns16550 UART or compatible. This can be
128 enabled in the device tree with the correct input clock frequency
129 provided (default 1843200). Enable this to obtain serial console
