RE: using SCC4 on MPC8272ADS

[Landau, Bracha]

I reconfigured the kernel so that only SCC1 and SCC4 are supported. The s=
ame thing happens as before.
Another bit of info is that if I run with console=3DttyCPM1 as a kernel c=
ommand line parameter, so that u-boot outputs to one port and the kernel =
outputs to the other, if I type "ls > /dev/ttyCPM0" the system hangs.

Funny - you said that SCC 1 and 4 are connected to the board; than why=20=

you are enabling SCC2 and SCC3?

This board does have 2 SCCs assigned for UARTs. No need to configure=20
SCC2 and SCC3 - this is useless and may lead to kernel crash. This board=20=

will use in the correct configuration /dev/ttyCPM0 <SCC1> and=20
/dev/ttyCPM1 <SCC4>.

Heh, didn't noticed, that you should use the latest rc of the linux 
kernel. I used to fix second UART in rc7 AFAIR.

RE: using SCC4 on MPC8272ADS

[Landau, Bracha]

I am now using kernel 2.6.10.2 on the MPC8272ADS.

I still have problems using the second SCC port (SCC4).

If I do the following (assuming after configuring SCC4 to behave like SCC=
1 w/baud rate, etc using tcgetattr and tcsetattr):

echo hello > hhh
echo hello >> hhh
echo hello >> hhh

more hhh > /dev/ttyCPM1

then it works fine and I see the three lines of "hello" on the second por=
t.

But if I do:

echo hello > hhh
echo hello >> hhh
more hhh > /dev/ttyCPM1

(i.e., only two lines of "hello" in hhh)
then the system hangs.

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.13.2.tar.bz2
2.6.13.rc7 should have the fix.

using SCC4 on MPC8272ADS

[Landau, Bracha]

I am using the MPC8272ADS with kernel 2.6.10. The kernel is configured to=
 support 4 CPM SCCs, of which 1 and 4 are connected on the board.
I created device files as follows:

mknod /dev/ttyCPM0 c 204 46
mknod /dev/ttyCPM1 c 204 47
mknod /dev/ttyCPM2 c 204 48
mknod /dev/ttyCPM3 c 204 49

If I boot the kernel using console=3DttyCPM3 I see that it uses SCC4. But=
 when I boot with console=3DttyCPM0 and write to the second port using a =
command like "echo hello > /dev/ttyCPM3" I don't see that anything is bei=
ng outputted to the second console.

What am I doing wrong?

Funny - you said that SCC 1 and 4 are connected to the board; than why 
you are enabling SCC2 and SCC3?

This board does have 2 SCCs assigned for UARTs. No need to configure 
SCC2 and SCC3 - this is useless and may lead to kernel crash. This board 
will use in the correct configuration /dev/ttyCPM0 <SCC1> and 
/dev/ttyCPM1 <SCC4>.
