Hello Everyone,
I am working on integrating generic PL011 driver in u-boot and linux for
Note, it is 'U-Boot'
ARMv8 NXP SoC and facing issue with multiple UART console enablement in u-boot using DM model
Kindly provide your valuable feedback and experts comments.
DTS require stdout-path(e.g-UART0) to the /chosen device tree node ,Accordingly controller(UART0) is probed/initialized as boot console
On u-boot prompt, Bootargs is modified to use UART1(ttyAMA1) console for linux boot but kernel hangs after “Starting kernel ... print”
After debugging it’s found that UART1 is not initialized and single(first) controller is probed/initialized in u-boot (Irrespective of 4 UART nodes are enabled in dts)
In drivers/serial/serial-uclass.c ,gd->cur_serial_dev is updated to the DT stdout-path or CONFIG_CONS_INDEX or platform data(first index)
Does the u-boot DM model support only one or multiple UART driver probing/initialization? Is there any configuration parameter required to define number of UART controllers to be probed/initialized.
This looks limitation as same boot console is used for u-boot and linux and unable to use all available UART controllers.
I am new to u-boot and please correct any misunderstanding
Let me know If I can submit a patch for multiple UART probe in serial-uclass or open a bug for multiple UART support in u-boot DM model
You can probe additional serial drivers if you like. U-Boot only probes things in a 'lazy' manner so far. Perhaps you could submit a patch which probes all serial devices? That is just a case of using uclass_first_device()...uclass_next_device() to iterate through them. I suppose we could have a CONFIG option to enable this.
PS:I am unable to find owner of serial uclass driver from MAINTAINERS file
Not guilty but I did port a lot of things to driver model.
