The console is UART5 by default for all Aspeed boards and the SoC model
choose not to initialize UARTs [1-4] to simplify the command line and
avoid :
-serial null -serial null -serial null -serial null -serial stdio
This new fuji board uses a firmware which enables UART1 for the console.
So we have to change which UART is initialized. The simplest way is
to tell the SoC through a property and change appropriately :
serial_mm_init(get_system_memory(), sc->memmap[ASPEED_DEV_UART5], 2,
aspeed_soc_get_irq(s, ASPEED_DEV_UART5), 38400,
serial_hd(0), DEVICE_LITTLE_ENDIAN);
The above is doing the shortcut : serial0 <-> UART5.
Cheers,
C.
