Hi,

I noticed that udbg is missing for fsl booke , or at least it doesn't appear to be implemented. I don't know a great deal about fsl book. I'm working on an MCP85XX at the moment , and I was looking into the udbg system to get prints. It looks like fsl booke might be similar enough to 44x to use the already implemented udbg routines for that.

Does anyone have suggestion on this ? Is fsl booke missing because it's not possible to have this, or no one ever needed it ?

Thanks,

Daniel

Yeah I noticed this recently too.

I don't know the history of why there isn't one, I suspect probably it just was never merged upstream. Hopefully someone from Freescale can chime in.

On my machine (p5020ds) there is a real UART, so it should just be a matter of creating a mapping for it and then using the existing udbg_16550 code.

cheers

We don't have udbg support for these chips anywhere. I usually just dump the logbuffer from an external debugger (or bisect with a branch-to-self using the external debugger to see if it was reached, if the logbuffer is empty) when there's a boot problem. It'd be nice to have; it just never got done.
