1 The support for multiple serial interfaces as implemented is mainly
2 intended to allow for modem dial-in / dial-out while still being able
3 to use a serial console on a (different) serial port.

5 MPC8XX Specific
6 ===============
7 At the moment, the ports must be split on a SMC and a SCC port  on  a
8 8xx processor; other configurations are not (yet) supported.
9 
10 Support for hardware handshake has not been implemented yet (but is
11 in the works).

13 *) The default console depends on the keys pressed:
14 	- SMC if keys not pressed (modem not enabled)
15 	- SCC if keys pressed (modem enabled)
16 
17 *) The console can be switched to SCC by any of the following commands:
18 
19 	setenv stdout serial_scc
20 	setenv stdin serial_scc
21 	setenv stderr serial_scc
22 
23 *) The console can be switched to SMC by any of the following commands:
24 
25 	setenv stdout serial_smc
26 	setenv stdin serial_smc
27 	setenv stderr serial_smc
28 
29 *) If a file descriptor is set to "serial" then the current serial device
30 will be used which, in turn, can be switched by above commands.
31 
32 *) The baudrate is the same for all serial devices. But it can be switched
33 just after switching the console:
34 
35 	setenv sout serial_scc; setenv baudrate 38400
36 
37 After that press 'enter' at the SCC console. Note that baudrates <38400
38 are not allowed on LWMON with watchdog enabled (see CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE in
39 include/configs/lwmon.h).

42 PPC4XX Specific
43 ===============
44 *) The default console is UART0
45 
46 *) The console can be switched to UART1 by any of the following commands:
47 	setenv stdout serial1
48 	setenv stderr serial1
49 	setenv stdin serial1
50 
51 *) The console can be switched to UART0 by any of the following commands:
52 	setenv stdout serial0
53 	setenv stderr serial0
54 	setenv stdin serial0
