[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2] console: Implement pre-console buffer

Graeme Russ graeme.russ at gmail.com
Mon Aug 29 14:14:06 CEST 2011


Allow redirection of console output prior to console initialisation to a
temporary buffer.

To enable this functionality, the board configuration file must define:
 - CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER - Enable pre-console buffer
 - CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR - Base address of pre-console buffer
 - CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ - Size of pre-console buffer (in bytes)

The pre-console buffer will buffer the first (CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ -1)
bytes (need to allow for a null terminator). Any remaining characters are
silently dropped.
