early kernel serial port fun (not)

[Jim Thompson]

Hi,

I'm working at getting the on-board serial port(s) on a MPC8245
working on a Sandpoint X3 platform.

Things boot just fine when using the 'normal' UARTs (on the Sandpoint
motherboard.)

I've got the on-chip serial ports enabled in ppcboot.  I tftp my
kernel in, and boot it, but things seem to go wrong soon after the
text pages are mapped.

The on-chip serial port is at 0xfc004500 (the 2nd one is at
0xfc004600).

## Booting image at 00100000 ...
   Image Name:   sandpoint 2.4.14 test
   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
   Data Size:    648565 Bytes = 633 kB = 0 MB
   Load Address: 00000000
   Entry Point:  00000000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
id mach(): doneMMU:enterMMU:hw initMMU:mapinMMU:setioMMU:exitMMU

Obviously, I've set 'CONFIG_SERIAL_TEXT_DEBUG' to get even this.

Below is the hacked sandpoint_serial.h  (I'll make it pretty after it
works.)

Does anyone have clue to offer here?

Thanks,
Jim

(p.s. for those of you wondering why the on-X3 serial ports aren't
 good enough, I have an 8245 board that uses the on-chip ones. The
 next step is to get linux running on the musenki board, thus the
 experimentation on 'known/working' hardware.)
