Hi, I am working with uClinux-dist-2008 R1.5.-RC3. BF527-ezkit.I want to enable both UART1 and UART0.

the kernel configuration menu setting:

<*> Blackfin serial port support                                      

[*]   Console on Blackfin serial port                               

      UART Mode (DMA mode) --->                                  

[*]   Enable UART0                                               

[ ]     Enable UART0 hardware flow control                         

[*]   Enable UART1                                                 

[ ]     Enable UART1 hardware flow control

attach the print message:

if the kernel configuration menu setting like this:

It works well.

if you're going to change your uart order, then you need to update your bootargs in u-boot.  i imagine you want to change the console=ttyBF0... to console=ttyBF1...

HI,Mike.

I want to use UART0 for bluetooth,and UART1 for print debugging,I hope the bluetooth and debugging can work at the same time.but I can't.

I don't want to chang the console console=ttyBF0... to console=ttyBF1...

when i set the kernel configuration menu like this:

<*> Blackfin serial port support                                      

[*]   Console on Blackfin serial port                               

      UART Mode (DMA mode) --->                                  

[*]   Enable UART0                                               

[ ]     Enable UART0 hardware flow control                         

[*]   Enable UART1                                                 

[ ]     Enable UART1 hardware flow control

The UART1 prints message and pause at "console handover: boot [early_BFuart1] -> real [ttyBF0]".

when I disable the "Enable UART0" at kernel configuration menu,it works well.

either fix your console= or dont enable UART0

Hi,

I am also working with BF527 ezkit, I am facing the similar problem, I too have a similar application where i need to enable both the uart0 and uart1.

uart1 -->  for debug messages and

uart0 --> another device.

the bootargs in the u-boot are as follows.

#define CONFIG_BOOTARGS \

        "root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw " \

        "profile=0 " \

        "earlyprintk=serial,uart" MK_STR(CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE) "," MK_STR(CONFIG_BAUDRATE) " " \

        CONFIG_BOOTARGS_VIDEO \

        "console=ttyBF0," MK_STR(CONFIG_BAUDRATE)

how to solve the problem.

Thankyou.

the answer is still the same.  fix your kernel command line so that the right console is selected.  you told the kernel to use ttyBF0 for the console, so that is what it is doing.

Hi Mike,

I have changed the ttyBF0 to ttyBF1.

#define CONFIG_BOOTARGS \

        "root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw " \

        "profile=0 " \

        "earlyprintk=serial,uart" MK_STR(CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE) "," MK_STR(CONFIG_BAUDRATE) " " \

        CONFIG_BOOTARGS_VIDEO \

        "console=ttyBF1," MK_STR(CONFIG_BAUDRATE)

My problem is not resolved. I am working with the trunk distribution.

other device which is connected to uart0 is operated at different baudrate, could you please tell me where to do the modifications.

Thankyou

you're going to have to actually describe the problems you're seeing and post actual output of u-boot/linux.  "it isnt working" is not useful information.

Hi Mike,

The kernal is booting properly now.

problem is

uart0 is muxed with the sport0 signals and i have enabled the audio codec also so i am getting the error. now i changed the sport channel selection to 1, Now the initial problem resolved.

I could find the ttyBF0 and ttyBF1  under the /dev folder.

i want to configure the ttyBF1 at baudrate of 57600 and ttyBF0 as 19200.i believe only one common serial driver for both UART0 and UART1 ports.

could you please tell me how can we can configure different baudrate for UART0 and UART1?

i want to test the UART0 for basic functionalities like transmit and receive before i actually start my implementation.

Please provide your suggestions.

Thankyou

please read the documentation:

and in the future, start your own new thread rather than reposting to an old one
