For the record, I'm using a SoC emulator, and thus do not have a bootloader per se and there are a bunch of other things that I cannot count on.
The emulator has the UART pre-setup, so I just need Linux to take over without changing the parameters.
Ideally, I would like to have the same image of Linux+DT to start in any instance of the emulator or real chips, regardless of the clock ratios, that's why I sort of need Linux to not change the UART speed, which is quite tricky because there are no clock generators in the emulator.
Got it, thanks for the info.
Please test the series I just cc'd you on plus the patch I sent
you yesterday.
That should get you an earlycon up and running on that simulator;
let me know if it doesn't and we'll go from there.
Ok, thanks.
I will try as soon as we finish rebasing our changes on top of
"mainline" (or HEAD, or is it "-next"? I don't know how you guys call
the most recent code base for Linux)
The basic tree organization is
Linus's tree <---- linux-next[date] <----- maintainers' trees
(mainline) (next) (eg., Greg's tty tree)
The patches I sent you (along with any required modifications during the
review cycle) are based on the tty-next branch in Greg's tty tree here
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
As of this email, Greg's tree is based on Linus's 4.4-rc6 which should
be stable enough for you to test these patches on.
Thanks for your explanation :-)
Actually, I tried yesterday on a 4.1.13 but
"[drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c:62] earlycon_map()" was still the
last message I got, just as with the OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE hack I had
previously talk about, and so I would like to test on the same
conditions than you, mainline.
So just to confirm, you applied "8250: Add Au1x00/RT288x earlycon support"
to 4.1.13 and the earlycon didn't come up when you used the kernel
command line option like so:
earlycon=rt288x,mmio32,0x10700
Is that correct?
Sort of, I applied your patch "8250: Add Au1x00/RT288x earlycon
support", and then tried with something like:
aliases {
serial0 = &uart;
};
chosen {
bootargs = "earlycon console mem=256M earlyprintk debug ignore_loglevel";
stdout-path = "serial0:115200n8";
};
uart: serial@10700 {
compatible = "ralink,rt2880-uart";
reg = <0x10700 0x30>;
interrupts = <1 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
clock-frequency = <7372800>;
reg-shift = <2>;
};
I can see that the code is correctly picking up the rt288x from the DT
(I put logs):
...
[drivers/of/fdt.c:834] early_init_dt_scan_chosen_serial():
'ralink,rt2880-uart'
[drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c:239] of_setup_earlycon(): addr=00010700
setup@c024c14c
[drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c:62] earlycon_map(): paddr 0x00010700 size
4096
(last log visible on UART)
where 0xc024c14c resolves to 'early_rt288x_setup' from your patch (in
the disassembly)
This happens when parsing the first token of the bootargs, "earlycon".
I will let you know how it goes the tests on 4.4.
Best regards,
Sebastian
