The UART registers are described there. Perhaps, it's not accurate enought for your needs, though... >>> --- >>> arch/arm/Kconfig.debug | 4 ++++ >>> arch/arm/include/debug/8250.S | 12 ++++++++++++ >>> 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+) >>> >>> diff --git a/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug b/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug >>> index 0cfd7f9..8d5c837 100644 >>> --- a/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug >>> +++ b/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug >>> @@ -1597,6 +1597,10 @@ config DEBUG_UART_8250_WORD >>> DEBUG_BCM_KONA_UART || DEBUG_RK32_UART2 || \ >>> DEBUG_BRCMSTB_UART >>> >>> +config DEBUG_UART_8250_AU >>> + bool "8250 UART has Alchemy register layout" >>> + depends on DEBUG_LL_UART_8250 || DEBUG_UART_8250 >>> + >> >> So Alchemy UART got reused on ARM? > > The UART is actually a Palmchip IP core used by several SoC companies. Hm, how have you figured out that;s Palmchip if the Alchemy databooks are silent about that? :-) MBR, Sergei
