U-Boot doesn't do well without some sort of serial device. That could perhaps be improved. But the point here is that we need a single U-Boot build which can start from coreboot, regardless of what coreboot decides to do. > > Couldn't you disable CONFIG_REQUIRE_SERIAL_CONSOLE and skip probing it? No, because I want it to work if the serial info is available. [..] Regards, SImon
