Allow redirection of console output prior to console initialisation to a temporary buffer.
To enable this functionality, the board (or arch) must define: - CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER - Enable pre-console buffer - CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR - Base address of pre-console buffer - CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ - Size of pre-console buffer (in bytes)
The pre-console buffer will buffer the last CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ bytes Any earlier characters are silently dropped.
--- Changes since V4 - Fixed typo in README - Made *pre_console* functions in console.c static - Slight tweak to commit message - Some may choose to set the configuration defines at the arch level
Changes since V3 - Fixed blank subject caused by gap between the Cc: list and Date:
Changes since V2 - Cast buffer size to unsigned long to help compilers produce tighter code - Use inline stub functions to reduce #ifdef clutter - Add documentation to README
Changes Since V1 - Implemented circular buffer - Trivial code styl corrections
