From: Peter Delevoryas <p...@fb.com> UART5 is typically used as the default debug UART on the AST2600, but UART1 is also designed to be a debug UART. All the AST2600 UART's have semi-configurable clock rates through registers in the System Control Unit (SCU), but only UART5 works out of the box with zero-initialized values. The rest of the UART's expect a few of the registers to be initialized to non-zero values, or else the clock rate calculation will yield zero or undefined (due to a divide-by-zero).
For reference, the U-Boot clock rate driver here shows the calculation: https://github.com/facebook/openbmc-uboot/blob/15f7e0dc01d8/drivers/clk/aspeed/clk_ast2600.c#L357 To summarize, UART5 allows selection from 4 rates: 24 MHz, 192 MHz, 24 / 13 MHz, and 192 / 13 MHz. The other UART's allow selecting either the "low" rate (UARTCLK) or the "high" rate (HUARTCLK). UARTCLK and HUARTCLK are configurable themselves: UARTCLK = UXCLK * R / (N * 2) HUARTCLK = HUXCLK * HR / (HN * 2) UXCLK and HUXCLK are also configurable, and depend on the APLL and/or HPLL clock rates, which also derive from complicated calculations. Long story short, there's lots of multiplication and division from configurable registers, and most of these registers are zero-initialized in QEMU, which at best is unexpected and at worst causes this clock rate driver to hang from divide-by-zero's. This can also be difficult to diagnose, because it may cause U-Boot to hang before serial console initialization completes, requiring intervention from gdb. This change just initializes all of these registers with default values from the datasheet. To test this, I used Facebook's AST2600 OpenBMC image for "fuji", with the following diff applied (because fuji uses UART1 for console output, not UART5). @@ -323,8 +323,8 @@ static void aspeed_soc_ast2600_realize(DeviceState *dev, Error **errp) } /* UART - attach an 8250 to the IO space as our UART5 */ - serial_mm_init(get_system_memory(), sc->memmap[ASPEED_DEV_UART5], 2, - aspeed_soc_get_irq(s, ASPEED_DEV_UART5), + serial_mm_init(get_system_memory(), sc->memmap[ASPEED_DEV_UART1], 2, + aspeed_soc_get_irq(s, ASPEED_DEV_UART1), 38400, serial_hd(0), DEVICE_LITTLE_ENDIAN); /* I2C */ Without these clock rate registers being initialized, U-Boot hangs in the clock rate driver from a divide-by-zero, because the UART1 clock rate register reads return zero, and there's no console output. After initializing them with default values, fuji boots successfully.
