menu "Serial drivers"
config REQUIRE_SERIAL_CONSOLE
bool "Require a serial port for console"
# Running without a serial console is not supported by the
# non-dm serial code
depends on DM_SERIAL
default y
help
Require a serial port for the console, and panic if none is found
during serial port initialization (default y). Set this to n on
boards which have no debug serial port whatsoever.
config SERIAL_PRESENT
bool "Provide a serial driver"
depends on DM_SERIAL
default y
help
In very space-constrained devices even the full UART driver is too
large. In this case the debug UART can still be used in some cases.
This option enables the full UART in U-Boot, so if is it disabled,
the full UART driver will be omitted, thus saving space.
config SPL_SERIAL_PRESENT
bool "Provide a serial driver in SPL"
depends on DM_SERIAL
default y
help
In very space-constrained devices even the full UART driver is too
large. In this case the debug UART can still be used in some cases.
This option enables the full UART in SPL, so if is it disabled,
the full UART driver will be omitted, thus saving space.
config DM_SERIAL
bool "Enable Driver Model for serial drivers"
depends on DM
help
Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
defined in include/serial.h.
config DEBUG_UART
bool "Enable an early debug UART for debugging"
help
The debug UART is intended for use very early in U-Boot to debug
problems when an ICE or other debug mechanism is not available.
To use it you should:
- Make sure your UART supports this interface
- Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_UART
- Enable the CONFIG for your UART to tell it to provide this interface
(e.g. CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_NS16550)
- Define the required settings as needed (see below)
- Call debug_uart_init() before use
- Call debug_uart_putc() to output a character
Depending on your platform it may be possible to use this UART before
a stack is available.
If your UART does not support this interface you can probably add
support quite easily. Remember that you cannot use driver model and
it is preferred to use no stack.
You must not use this UART once driver model is working and the
serial drivers are up and running (done in serial_init()). Otherwise
the drivers may conflict and you will get strange output.

will need to provide parameters to make this work. The driver will
be available until the real driver model serial is running.
config DEBUG_EFI_CONSOLE
bool "EFI"
depends on EFI_APP
help
Select this to enable a debug console which calls back to EFI to
output to the console. This can be useful for early debugging of
U-Boot when running on top of EFI (Extensive Firmware Interface).
This is a type of BIOS used by PCs.
config DEBUG_UART_S5P
bool "Samsung S5P"
help
Select this to enable a debug UART using the serial_s5p driver. You
will need to provide parameters to make this work. The driver will
be available until the real driver-model serial is running.
config DEBUG_UART_UARTLITE

help
Select this to enable a debug UART using the serial_uartlite driver.
You will need to provide parameters to make this work. The driver will
be available until the real driver-model serial is running.
config DEBUG_UART_ZYNQ
bool "Xilinx Zynq"
help
Select this to enable a debug UART using the serial_zynq driver. You
will need to provide parameters to make this work. The driver will
be available until the real driver-model serial is running.
config DEBUG_UART_APBUART

bool "Gaisler APBUART"
help
Select this to enable a debug UART using the serial_leon3 driver. You
will need to provide parameters to make this work. The driver will
be available until the real driver model serial is running.
config DEBUG_UART_PL010
bool "pl010"
help
Select this to enable a debug UART using the pl01x driver with the
PL010 UART type. You will need to provide parameters to make this
work. The driver will be available until the real driver model
serial is running.
config DEBUG_UART_PL011
bool "pl011"
help
Select this to enable a debug UART using the pl01x driver with the
PL011 UART type. You will need to provide parameters to make this
work. The driver will be available until the real driver model
serial is running.

config DEBUG_UART_BASE
hex "Base address of UART"
depends on DEBUG_UART
help
This is the base address of your UART for memory-mapped UARTs.
A default should be provided by your board, but if not you will need
to use the correct value here.
config DEBUG_UART_CLOCK
int "UART input clock"
depends on DEBUG_UART
help
The UART input clock determines the speed of the internal UART
circuitry. The baud rate is derived from this by dividing the input
clock down.
A default should be provided by your board, but if not you will need
to use the correct value here.
config DEBUG_UART_SHIFT
int "UART register shift"
depends on DEBUG_UART
default 0 if DEBUG_UART
help
Some UARTs (notably ns16550) support different register layouts
where the registers are spaced either as bytes, words or some other
value. Use this value to specify the shift to use, where 0=byte
registers, 2=32-bit word registers, etc.
config DEBUG_UART_BOARD_INIT
bool "Enable board-specific debug UART init"
depends on DEBUG_UART
help
Some boards need to set things up before the debug UART can be used.
On these boards a call to debug_uart_init() is insufficient. When
this option is enabled, the function board_debug_uart_init() will
be called when debug_uart_init() is called. You can put any code
here that is needed to set up the UART ready for use, such as set
pin multiplexing or enable clocks.
config DEBUG_UART_ANNOUNCE
bool "Show a message when the debug UART starts up"
depends on DEBUG_UART
help
Enable this option to show a message when the debug UART is ready
for use. You will see a message like "<debug_uart> " as soon as
U-Boot has the UART ready for use (i.e. your code calls
debug_uart_init()). This can be useful just as a check that
everything is working.
config DEBUG_UART_SKIP_INIT
bool "Skip UART initialization"
help
Select this if the UART you want to use for debug output is already
initialized by the time U-Boot starts its execution.
config ALTERA_JTAG_UART
bool "Altera JTAG UART support"
depends on DM_SERIAL
help
Select this to enable an JTAG UART for Altera devices.The JTAG UART
core implements a method to communicate serial character streams
between a host PC and a Qsys system on an Altera FPGA. Please find
details on the "Embedded Peripherals IP User Guide" of Altera.
config ALTERA_JTAG_UART_BYPASS
bool "Bypass output when no connection"
depends on ALTERA_JTAG_UART
help
Bypass console output and keep going even if there is no JTAG
terminal connection with the host. The console output will resume
once the JTAG terminal is connected. Without the bypass, the console
output will wait forever until a JTAG terminal is connected. If you
not are sure, say Y.
config ALTERA_UART
bool "Altera UART support"
depends on DM_SERIAL
help
Select this to enable an UART for Altera devices. Please find
details on the "Embedded Peripherals IP User Guide" of Altera.
config FSL_LPUART

QorIQ Layerscape devices.
config SYS_NS16550
bool "NS16550 UART or compatible"
help
Support NS16550 UART or compatible. This can be enabled in the
device tree with the correct input clock frequency. If the input
clock frequency is not defined in the device tree, the macro
CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_CLK defined in a legacy board header file will
be used. It can be a constant or a function to get clock, eg,
get_serial_clock().
config SANDBOX_SERIAL
bool "Sandbox UART support"
depends on SANDBOX
help
Select this to enable a seral UART for sandbox. This is required to
operate correctly, otherwise you will see no serial output from
sandbox. The emulated UART will display to the console and console
input will be fed into the UART. This allows you to interact with
U-Boot.
The operation of the console is controlled by the -t command-line
flag. In raw mode, U-Boot sees all characters from the terminal
before they are processed, including Ctrl-C. In cooked mode, Ctrl-C
is processed by the terminal, and terminates U-Boot. Valid options
are:
-t raw-with-sigs Raw mode, Ctrl-C will terminate U-Boot
-t raw Raw mode, Ctrl-C is processed by U-Boot
-t cooked Cooked mode, Ctrl-C terminates
config UNIPHIER_SERIAL
