lib: utils/serial: Support multiple UART8250 devices

2025-12-21T15:32:44Z

Previously we assume only 1 UART8250 instance can be used. Now we support multiple instances by introducing counterpart functions to putc/getc/init which take an extra *dev parameter, and name them as uart8250_device_xyz() The original functions without the *dev parameter will operate on the default instance exactly the same as before, so no changes on the caller is required. Note: uart8250_device_init only does device initialization without the console registration logic.

lib: utils/serial: Add PXA UARTs support

2025-03-27T14:50:05Z

The PXA variant of the uart8250 adds the UART Unit Enable bit (UUE) that needs to be set to enable the XScale PXA UART. And it is required for some RISC-V SoCs like the Spacemit K1 that implement the PXA UART. This introduces the "intel,xscale-uart" compatible to handle setting the UUE bit.

lib: utils/serial: Ensure proper allocation of PMP entries for uart8250

2023-10-06T11:23:25Z

The added memory region should start from the base address. Otherwise, the range will be shifted by reg_offset and not able to merge consecutive NAPOT regions in the root domain, resulting in wasted PMP entries.

lib: utils/serial: Add shared regions for serial drivers

2023-09-24T11:34:41Z

The serial driver regions used by OpenSBI should be marked as a shared read-write regions between M-mode and SU-mode as those are accessed by earlycon and the corresponding tty serial drivers running in 'S' mode. When the smepmp extension is enabled, PMP entries for these shared regions will get programmed. Signed-off-by: Mayuresh Chitale Signed-off-by: Anup Patel

lib: utils/serial: Ensure baudrate is non-zero before using

2022-07-30T06:09:42Z

RISC-V doesn't generate exceptions on divide-by-zero, but the result, all bits set, is not likely what people expect either. In all cases where we divide by baudrate there's a chance it's zero (when the DT it came from is "bad"). To avoid difficult to debug situations, leave baudrate dependent registers alone when baudrate is zero, as, also in all cases, it appears we can skip initialization of those registers and still [hopefully] have a functioning UART.

lib: utils/serial: support 'reg-offset' property

2022-04-17T08:27:48Z

reg-offset property is used for offset to apply to the mapbase from the start of the registers in 8250 UART. In Linux kernel, it has been handled in 8250 UART driver. dt-bindings: /Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/8250.yaml Signed-off-by: Zong Li Reviewed-by: Anup Patel

lib: fix pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic

2022-01-21T16:28:12Z

Using "void *" in arithmetic causes errors with strict compiler settings: "error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]" Avoid these by calculating on "char *" where 1-byte data size is assumed.
