Data in the chosen node does not represent the hardware. + + +stdout-path property +-------------------- + +Device trees may specify the device to be used for boot console output +with a stdout-path property under /chosen, as described in ePAPR, e.g. + +/ { + chosen { + stdout-path = "/serial@f00:115200"; + }; + + serial@f00 { + compatible = "vendor,some-uart"; + reg = <0xf00 0x10>; + }; +}; + +If the character ":" is present in the value, this terminates the path. +The meaning of any characters following the ":" is device-specific, and +must be specified in the relevant binding documentation. + +For UART devices, the preferred binding is a string in the form: + + <baud>{<parity>{<bits>{<flow>}}} + +where + + baud - baud rate in decimal + parity - 'n' (none), 'o', (odd) or 'e' (even) + bits - number of data bits + flow - 'r' (rts) + +For example: 115200n8r + +Implementation note: Linux will look for the property "linux,stdout-path" or +on PowerPC "stdout" if "stdout-path" is not found. However, the +"linux,stdout-path" and "stdout" properties are deprecated. New platforms +should only use the "stdout-path" property. |
