The support for multiple serial interfaces as implemented is mainly
|
intended to allow for modem dial-in / dial-out while still being able
|
to use a serial console on a (different) serial port.
|
|
MPC8XX Specific
|
===============
|
At the moment, the ports must be split on a SMC and a SCC port on a
|
8xx processor; other configurations are not (yet) supported.
|
|
Support for hardware handshake has not been implemented yet (but is
|
in the works).
|
|
*) The default console depends on the keys pressed:
|
- SMC if keys not pressed (modem not enabled)
|
- SCC if keys pressed (modem enabled)
|
|
*) The console can be switched to SCC by any of the following commands:
|
|
setenv stdout serial_scc
|
setenv stdin serial_scc
|
setenv stderr serial_scc
|
|
*) The console can be switched to SMC by any of the following commands:
|
|
setenv stdout serial_smc
|
setenv stdin serial_smc
|
setenv stderr serial_smc
|
|
*) If a file descriptor is set to "serial" then the current serial device
|
will be used which, in turn, can be switched by above commands.
|
|
*) The baudrate is the same for all serial devices. But it can be switched
|
just after switching the console:
|
|
setenv sout serial_scc; setenv baudrate 38400
|
|
After that press 'enter' at the SCC console. Note that baudrates <38400
|
are not allowed on LWMON with watchdog enabled (see CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE in
|
include/configs/lwmon.h).
|
|
|
PPC4XX Specific
|
===============
|
*) The default console is UART0
|
|
*) The console can be switched to UART1 by any of the following commands:
|
setenv stdout serial1
|
setenv stderr serial1
|
setenv stdin serial1
|
|
*) The console can be switched to UART0 by any of the following commands:
|
setenv stdout serial0
|
setenv stderr serial0
|
setenv stdin serial0
