[U-Boot-Users] Serial console on AT91RM9200DK???

[U-Boot-Users] Serial console on AT91RM9200DK???

[Steven Scholz]

Hi there,

./include/configs/at91rm9200dk.h says

/*
  * select serial console configuration
  */
#define CONFIG_SERIAL3          1       /* we use SERIAL 3 */
#undef  CONFIG_HWFLOW                   /* don't include RTS/CTS ...

My question is:

Is "SERIAL 3" the same as the so called "SERIAL DEBUG PORT" in the 
RM92000DK schematics?

If not, what's the purpose of the "SERIAL DEBUG PORT" ???

Thanks a million,

Steven

Hi Steven,

The serial configuration flag CONFIG_SERIAL3 is useless for the AT91RM9200DK
board. It is only used by the smdk boards. It should have been removed from
the configuration file.

The AT91RM9200 U-Boot version uses effectively the Serial Debug Port.

We are going to submit a patch correcting that mistake among other things
and adding DataFlash support.

I hope this helps.

Nicolas.

That means that I can use the "Serial Debug Port" as a console for 
U-Boot and Linux!?

Thanks a million!
