1config DM_SERIAL
2	bool "Enable Driver Model for serial drivers"
3	depends on DM
4	help
5	  Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
6	  drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
7	  implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
8	  defined in include/serial.h.

10config DEBUG_UART
11	bool "Enable an early debug UART for debugging"
12	help
13	  The debug UART is intended for use very early in U-Boot to debug
14	  problems when an ICE or other debug mechanism is not available.
15
16	  To use it you should:
17	  - Make sure your UART supports this interface
18	  - Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_UART
19	  - Enable the CONFIG for your UART to tell it to provide this interface
20	        (e.g. CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_NS16550)
21	  - Define the required settings as needed (see below)
22	  - Call debug_uart_init() before use
23	  - Call debug_uart_putc() to output a character
24
25	  Depending on your platform it may be possible to use this UART before
26	  a stack is available.
27
28	  If your UART does not support this interface you can probably add
29	  support quite easily. Remember that you cannot use driver model and
30	  it is preferred to use no stack.
31
32	  You must not use this UART once driver model is working and the
33	  serial drivers are up and running (done in serial_init()). Otherwise
34	  the drivers may conflict and you will get strange output.

40config DEBUG_UART_NS16550
41	bool "ns16550"
42	help
43	  Select this to enable a debug UART using the ns16550 driver. You
44	  will need to provide parameters to make this work. The driver will
45	  be available until the real driver model serial is running.
46
47config DEBUG_EFI_CONSOLE
48	bool "EFI"
49	depends on EFI_APP
50	help
51	  Select this to enable a debug console which calls back to EFI to
52	  output to the console. This can be useful for early debugging of
53	  U-Boot when running on top of EFI (Extensive Firmware Interface).
54	  This is a type of BIOS used by PCs.

58config DEBUG_UART_BASE
59	hex "Base address of UART"
60	depends on DEBUG_UART
61	help
62	  This is the base address of your UART for memory-mapped UARTs.
63
64	  A default should be provided by your board, but if not you will need
65	  to use the correct value here.
66
67config DEBUG_UART_CLOCK
68	int "UART input clock"
69	depends on DEBUG_UART
70	help
71	  The UART input clock determines the speed of the internal UART
72	  circuitry. The baud rate is derived from this by dividing the input
73	  clock down.
74
75	  A default should be provided by your board, but if not you will need
76	  to use the correct value here.
77
78config DEBUG_UART_SHIFT
79	int "UART register shift"
80	depends on DEBUG_UART
81	default 0 if DEBUG_UART
82	help
83	  Some UARTs (notably ns16550) support different register layouts
84	  where the registers are spaced either as bytes, words or some other
85	  value. Use this value to specify the shift to use, where 0=byte
86	  registers, 2=32-bit word registers, etc.
87
88config SANDBOX_SERIAL
89	bool "Sandbox UART support"
90	depends on SANDBOX && DM
91	help
92	  Select this to enable a seral UART for sandbox. This is required to
93	  operate correctly, otherwise you will see no serial output from
94	  sandbox. The emulated UART will display to the console and console
95	  input will be fed into the UART. This allows you to interact with
96	  U-Boot.
97
98	  The operation of the console is controlled by the -t command-line
99	  flag. In raw mode, U-Boot sees all characters from the terminal
100	  before they are processed, including Ctrl-C. In cooked mode, Ctrl-C
101	  is processed by the terminal, and terminates U-Boot. Valid options
102	  are:
103
104	     -t raw-with-sigs	Raw mode, Ctrl-C will terminate U-Boot
105	     -t raw		Raw mode, Ctrl-C is processed by U-Boot
106	     -t cooked		Cooked mode, Ctrl-C terminates
107
108config UNIPHIER_SERIAL
109	bool "Support for UniPhier on-chip UART"
110	depends on ARCH_UNIPHIER && DM_SERIAL
111	help
112	  If you have a UniPhier based board and want to use the on-chip
113	  serial ports, say Y to this option. If unsure, say N.
114
115config X86_SERIAL
116	bool "Support for 16550 serial port on x86 machines"
117	depends on X86
118	default y
119	help
120	  Most x86 machines have a ns16550 UART or compatible. This can be
121	  enabled in the device tree with the correct input clock frequency
122	  provided (default 1843200). Enable this to obtain serial console
123	  output.
