There's no device attached at ttyS1. I've just tested this in another box and it seems the same error is obtained on each unused port: [...] dw-apb-uart d0012100.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 191 dw-apb-uart d0012100.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 191 dw-apb-uart d0012100.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 224 dw-apb-uart d0012100.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 224 d0012100.serial: ttyS1 at MMIO 0xd0012100 (irq = 18, base_baud = 15625000) is a 16550A dw-apb-uart d0012200.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 191 dw-apb-uart d0012200.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 191 dw-apb-uart d0012200.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 224 dw-apb-uart d0012200.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 224 d0012200.serial: ttyS2 at MMIO 0xd0012200 (irq = 31, base_baud = 15625000) is a 16550A dw-apb-uart d0012300.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 191 dw-apb-uart d0012300.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 191 dw-apb-uart d0012300.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 224 dw-apb-uart d0012300.serial: Couldn't set LCR to 224 d0012300.serial: ttyS3 at MMIO 0xd0012300 (irq = 32, base_baud = 15625000) is a 16550A In this board, I only have ttyS0 (console) connected. > Also, do you know the version of the Synopsys IP? > If built with ADDITIONAL_FEATURES=YES, the version can be read from > the hardware: > > # busybox devmem 0xd00121f8 32 > No, I don't know this IP version and ADDITIONAL_FEATURES seems not built.
