[coreboot] Using High Speed UART1 as Serial port on CoreBoot (MinnowBoard)

[Adrian Perez Resa]

Hi Ben,

Many thanks for your reply, then I suppose the best option is the PCU UART
I'll continue with that

Thanks and best regards

Adrián

Hi Adrian,

You are better off hooking up to the "Serial Console" port and using that.
http://wiki.minnowboard.org/MinnowBoard_MAX

If you really want to use one of the HS UARTs, then you have a bit of work to do.
See src/drivers/uart/uart8250mem.c and note the use of CONFIG_DRIVERS_UART_8250MEM_32.
You'd need to implement something similar to src/soc/intel/skylake/romstage/uart.c, but for the E3800.
Not worth it, in my opinion, as the PCU UART works just fine.
