Hello All,

We have our new board and I am porting U-Boot on it. I am first trying to get U-Boot's console. FT232R is populated on the board and I need to use it for the showing the console.

I looked into u-boot/drivers/serial folder but could not find any reference to FT232R.

Could you please let me know whether FT232R is already supported in U-Boot?

The U-Boot console need a real uart device, the FT232 is an USB to UART converter. The serial console needs to initialize long before the usb stack is available.
