I add following aliases and serial_1/serial_3 dt node in board dtsi:
I tested that change the alias of serial_x node.
aliases {
serial0 = &serial_1;
serial1 = &serial_3;
};
/* Add 'linux,stdout-path' property to print kernel log by using ealycon */
chosen {
linux,stdout-path = &serial_1;
};
[snip]
/* serial_1 is used for printing kernel log throught JIG cable */
&serial_1 {
status = "okay";
};
&serial_3 {
status = "okay";
};
In result, serial driver create the /dev/ttySAC0 for serial_1 and /dev/ttySAC1 for serial_3.
But, I cannot complete the kernel booting and stop it with following kernel log

(dont' print any kernel log)
So, I change the kernel command line about ('console' bootparam) as following:
because tty framework must use the 'console' bootparam to print kernel log.
- original : Kernel command line: console=ttySAC1,115200 ... (cannot the kernel log from serial driver probed)
- modification : Kernel command line: console=ttySAC0,115200 ... (got the successful kernel booting)
After modification, I got the successful kernel booting.
If should use the serial_0 device and then modify the 'aliases' as following:
I have to modify the commandline of bootloader if the commandline of bootloader is used
instad of default kernel command line.
aliases {
serial0 = &serial_0;
serial1 = &serial_1;
serial2 = &serial_3;
};
Thanks,
