Hi Jose,
and I do similar to you under romstage.c -> mainboard_early_init:
outb(0x55, 0x2e); outb(0x05, 0x0a3f); /* GP50= RI_2 : in */ outb(0x05, 0x0a40); /* GP51= DCD_2 : in */ outb(0x05, 0x0a41); /* GP52= RXD_2 : in */ outb(0x04, 0x0a42); /* GP53= TXD_2 : out */ outb(0x05, 0x0a43); /* GP54= DSR_2 : in */ outb(0x04, 0x0a44); /* GP55= RTS_2 : out */ outb(0x05, 0x0a45); /* GP56= CTS_2 : in */ outb(0x04, 0x0a46); /* GP57= DTR_2 : out */ outb(0xaa, 0x2e);
but It doesn't work.
Also I set the same code under mainboard.c -> mainboard_init but neither work.
You should not copy my code for the two major reasons:
1. SCH5545 and SCH3114 are very different. 2. GPIO configuration on SCH5545 is not accessible from SuperIO. The code I have written communicates with Environmental Controller (ARC coprocessor) which resides inside the SCH5545, because only the EC had access to those registers. The SCH5545 did not have GPIO config registers in the Runtime Registers block.
This will obviously not work.
Any advice on this? because I cannot find any information on the datasheet on how to set those registers and I suppose I just have to set to the 0xa00 base address + register.
I suggest to look at TABLE 26-3 in the datasheet of your part http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/00001872A.pdf and using these runtime registers definitions, write the right code that will set the GPIOs up for UARTs. Just use the appropriate 0xa00 base + REG OFFSET from the table and you should be allright. For simplicity you may also compare these registers to reference values from original firmware (but with care! sometimes firmware vendors tend to make stupid mistakes).
Thank you, Jose Trujillo.
Best regards,
