[U-Boot-Users] Serial console on AT91RM9200DK???

Hi there,
./include/configs/at91rm9200dk.h says
/* * select serial console configuration */ #define CONFIG_SERIAL3 1 /* we use SERIAL 3 */ #undef CONFIG_HWFLOW /* don't include RTS/CTS ...
My question is:
Is "SERIAL 3" the same as the so called "SERIAL DEBUG PORT" in the RM92000DK schematics?
If not, what's the purpose of the "SERIAL DEBUG PORT" ???
Thanks a million,
Steven

Hi Steven,
The serial configuration flag CONFIG_SERIAL3 is useless for the AT91RM9200DK board. It is only used by the smdk boards. It should have been removed from the configuration file.
The AT91RM9200 U-Boot version uses effectively the Serial Debug Port.
We are going to submit a patch correcting that mistake among other things and adding DataFlash support.
I hope this helps.

Nicolas,
Thanks for your fast reply!

That means that I can use the "Serial Debug Port" as a console for U-Boot and Linux!?
Thanks a million!
