We have not had a good method to debug the early boot stage such as lowlevel_init function. I guess developers generally use dedicated debuggers for that, but it is difficult in some cases. (For example, my debugger cannot connect to the ARM processor when it is in the secure state. It sometimes happens when I need to debug the early boot stage on ARM SoCs with secure extension.) The low level debug feature in Linux would be also helpful for U-boot when we are stucking in nasty problems where the console is not available yet. You have to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_LL to use this feature. For now, only 8250-compatible UART devices are supported. You can add a header file under arch/arm/include/debug/ directory to support your UART device if necessary. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com>

Say Y here if you wish the debug print routes to direct
|
|
their output to an 8250 UART. You can use this option
|
|
to provide the parameters for the 8250 UART rather than
|
|
selecting one of the platform specific options above if
|
|
you know the parameters for the port.
|
|
|
|
This option is preferred over the platform specific
|
|
options; the platform specific options are deprecated
|
|
and will be soon removed.
