There is a Lanner FW-7573 platform based on the Intel Rangeley Atom C2000 series processor. To work with the Serial port in this platform, the NUVOTON NCT6776F chip is connected via the LPC bus to the processor. I just can’t get Serial port working for debuging. I take as a basis intel littleplains board. I tried to add NCT6776F support following the example of other boards - without success. There is no output to the console, and in Linux, the superiotool program does not see the NCT6776F.
On the official version of the BIOS I loaded linux OS and took a dump. (superiotool r => Found Nuvoton NCT6776F/D (C) (id=0xc333) at 0x4e) )
How to add NUVOTON NCT6776F support with serial port logic enabled ???
in devicetree.cb I add:
