the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 9ed8a82d265fde1df1a01be7568d8f0979020108 Author: Gabe Black gabeblack@google.com Date: Tue Dec 3 21:25:35 2013 -0800
serial: Separate the serial hardware init and the serial console init.
You might want to use the serial hardware for something other than a console, or you might want to intercede in the serial stream to wrap it in another protocol. This is what you'd do to send output to GDB while using it to debug the payload.
