Most of the Aspeed machines use the UART5 device for the boot console, and QEMU connects the first serial Chardev to this SoC device for this purpose. See routine connect_serial_hds_to_uarts(). Nevertheless, some machines use another boot console, such as the fuji, and commit 5d63d0c76c ("hw/arm/aspeed: Allow machine to set UART default") introduced a SoC class attribute 'uart_default' and property to be able to change the boot console device. It was later changed by commit d2b3eaefb4 ("aspeed: Refactor UART init for multi-SoC machines"). The "bmc-console" machine option goes a step further and lets the user define the UART device from the QEMU command line without introducing a new machine definition. For instance, to use device UART3 (mapped on /dev/ttyS2 under Linux) instead of the default UART5, one would use : -M ast2500-evb,bmc-console=uart3 Cc: Abhishek Singh Dagur <abhishek@drut.io> Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@kaod.org> Reviewed-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@kaod.org> --- docs/system/arm/aspeed.rst | 11 +++++++++++ hw/arm/aspeed.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
