This breaks the bootwrapper console.And of course I forgot about that :-) The boot wrapper code doesn't have any dpram allocator. Any objection against using a chunk of dpram at a fixed location ? What about at the beginning of the dpram ? The DTS muram node would then exclude a chunk of dpram at offset 0x0000 instead of 0x1100.I'm not entirely comfortable with using a chunk outside of what's in the muram node, and assuming that it's for the SMC pram -- what if there's microcode or something there? Since udbg is only for debugging, and is marked as potentially dangerous, how about just using the end of muram (as described in the device tree)? If the muram is fully allocated, it won't happen until after the real serial console is initialized.
Very good idea. I'll prepare a new patch. -- Laurent Pinchart CSE Semaphore Belgium Chaussée de Bruxelles, 732A B-1410 Waterloo Belgium T +32 (2) 387 42 59 F +32 (2) 387 42 75
