| Summary | 0001261: Allow different serial debug ports depending on board type | ||||
| Description | Up to now we had different Kernel images for different boards. The debug port used for serial output was a fix setting in the Linux configuration. Starting with V2.0, we have kernel binaries that can be used on different boards with the same MCU, e.g. one binary for PicoMOD6 and PicoCOM3, one binary for armStoneA8, PicoMOD7A and NetDCU14. So the debug port must be dynamically set depending on the actual board currently running. This information is usually passed from U-Boot to the Kernel on the command line (via the console-setting). So this *should* work right out of the box, but we have to check it nonetheless. But it also has to be set for the zImage decompressor code embedded with the zImage. Here we have a fix Kconfig setting up to now and this has to change to a dynamic setting in the future. | ||||
