RE: Where is initial console initialized ?

Hi,

Well if one does it right, then things work as expected.

I simply chose the wrong Kernel configuration, the correct console =
driver has not been compiled in.

Now it works as expected.



Sorry for the noise.

Daniel Schnell.

This Kernel is based on the Phytec phyCore MPC5200B Mini BSP kernel=20

So far I have troubles to get console output working when booting =

Uboot console output is fine. Linux begins to run (I can set=20

probably have a misconfiguration of the console output inside the fdt.

The major difference between the Phytec phyCore 5200B mini fdt and=20
mine is that we use PSC1 instead of PSC3/6 for serial. Accordingly I=20
changed the fdt (or dts) values.

To get some more insights, I would like to know, in which Linux=20
function the console output is initialised ?

If I dump the flat device tree inside uboot, I get the following

the dump with:

         reg =3D <8>;

in most of nodes, which looks just wrong.
