Dear Simon,
In message 20120321224801.2C000202A4D@gemini.denx.de I wrote:
So the existing pre-console putc() can be used, if we can sort out how to make UART init work. Graeme suggested an approach here - I will see if I can make that work.
I don't think I will accept any "pre-console putc()". This is such a dirty hack. Either you can initialize and use putc, then use the normal console mechanism for it, or you cannot. And "cannot" means "cannot" here.
Sorry, this was not what I meant. My fingers were faster than my brain. The existing code around CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER (i. e. storage in a temporary buffer until console bcomes available) is of course OK with me.
What I meant was: I do not want to have any "pre console UART output" code.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
