From: Simon Glass Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2015 00:07:21 +0000 (-0600) Subject: x86: Enable debug UART for Minnowmax X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bbbe55f6f25e686ad799c2a70aa941eeb276adb6;p=project%2Fbcm63xx%2Fu-boot.git x86: Enable debug UART for Minnowmax Enable the debug UART and emit a single 'a' early in the init sequence to show that it is working. Unfortunately the debug UART implementation needs a stack to work. I cannot seem to remove this limitation as the absolute 'jmp %eax' instruction goes off into the weeds. So this means that the character output cannot be any earlier than car_init_ret, where memory is available for a stack.
