Hi.
I got a custom MPC823 board with 3 serial ports (smc1, smc2 and scc2), and a
2.2.13 kernel form mvista.
Linux runs fine on the board using smc1 as console, but I can't receive or
transmit anything on smc2 and scc2.
I am using the program miniterm to setup and test these ports; I have used
this program on my RH i686 machine without any problems.
I have used scc2 as console too, without any problem. But I still can't use
smc1 and smc2. I look like an initialisation problem to me. Can anyone help
with this?
Btw. There is a problem in m8xx_cpm_setbrg in commproc.c. I can't set any
serial port to run any lower than 1200 baud. This is caused by
BRG_UART_CLK/rate (clock divider) getting larger than 4096, which is the
maximum (at least on a mpc823).
I solved the problem like this:
#define BRG_INT_CLK (((bd_t *)res)->bi_intfreq * 1000000)
#define BRG_UART_CLK (BRG_INT_CLK/16)
#define BRG_UART_CLK_DIV16 (BRG_UART_CLK/16)
void
m8xx_cpm_setbrg(uint brg, uint rate)
{
volatile uint *bp;
/* This is good enough to get SMCs running.....
*/
bp = (uint *)&cpmp->cp_brgc1;
bp += brg;
if((BRG_UART_CLK / rate) < 4096)
*bp = ((BRG_UART_CLK / rate) << 1) | CPM_BRG_EN;
else
*bp = ((BRG_UART_CLK_DIV16 / rate) << 1) | CPM_BRG_EN |
CPM_BRG_DIV16;
}
