Combined uart is a tegra-specific mechanism used to multiplex a single physical
|
|
UART between multiple pieces of software. Instead of having Linux access the
|
|
UART registers directly, this mechanism involves Linux writing debug output to
|
|
an HSP mailbox register. Debug input is similarly received from a different HSP
|
|
mailbox register.
|
|
|
|
The debug data is received by a different processor, which then collects the
|
|
debug outputs from multiple processors and multiplexes them over the actual
|
|
physical UART. Input data is also received by the same processor, which
|
|
forwards it to the correct destination.
|
|
|
|
The combined uart device tree node contains the necessary data for the driver
|
|
to operate correctly.
|
|
|
|
Required properties:
|
|
- compatible: Should be "nvidia,tegra186-combined-uart".
|
|
- reg: Must contain the base address of mailbox registers.
|
|
-- Reg0: Must contain the RX mailbox base address
|
|
-- Reg1: Must contain the TX mailbox base address
|
|
-- Reg2: Must contain the HSP base address that has the RX interrupt control
|
|
register.
|
|
- interrupts: Must contain the RX interrupt number
|
|
|
|
Optional properties:
|
|
- console-port: Should be present if the Tegra FIQ debugger needs to use this
|
|
combined uart node for debug I/O.
|
|
- combined-uart: Should be present if the Tegra FIQ debugger needs to use this
|
|
combined uart node for debug I/O.
