Thanks Marc and Kyösti for your hints.
As I'm just discovering coreboot and its multiple possibilities, please
apologize if my questions seems "too simple"... ;-)
A) UART Type
-------------------
From Kconfig file in ./src/drivers/uart, the valid ID for the oxpcie is
1415:c158.
I can obtain this ID on my Startech board only when I strapped it as
"native UART" (Startech documentation), that is : memory-mapped.
From Kconfig file in ./src/console, there is following sentence :
"Supporting multiple different types of UARTs in one build is not
supported.".
Q: Am I correct if I translate this like : "Use only memory-mapped or
IO-mapped UARTs, but not both at the same time." ?
B) Memory-mapped UART required options
--------------------------------------------------------------
From the answers received, I would say that the required options (in
make menuconfig) would be:
- In "Generic Drivers": validate Oxford OXPCIe952 and de-validate
"Serial Port on SuperIO".
- In "Devices": Set the device and function numbers of the PCie bridge,
behind which is connected the Startech board. On Mohon Peak, it's D1-F0.
Q: What about the MMIO window base ? Is it the memory address of the
UARTs, defined by the values in the BAR registers ?
- in "Console": Validate "Serial Port Console Output".
Q: What about the index of the "Serial Port console output" ? IMHO,
there are only valid for IO-mapped UART. Correct ?
Q: Am I missing anything ?
Thanks in advance for the time you want to spent on it.
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
You can look at the Oxford pcie card and 8250MEM drivers for reference:
src/drivers/uart/oxpcie*
src/drivers/uart/uart8250mem*

Hello everybody,
Do you think that it would be possible to output the console messages
from coreboot (seabios) on another UART port (strapped to be
visible on
Memory-based space or IO Space) connected on a PCIe slot ?
I've purchased a StarTech UART board with an OXPCIe952 chip, with the
same IDs as visible in ./src/drivers/uart/oxpcie.c.
On
http://www.coreboot.org/Serial_console#PCIe.2FMini_PCIe_based_serial_cards,
what is behind the sentence:
"In order to use the card for romstage debugging, minimal setup of the
PCIe bridge and the MPEX2S952 have to be added to romstage.c" ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Patrick Agrain
