|
+ Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
|
|
|
+ initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
|
|
|
+ Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
|
|
|
+ buffer any console messages prior to the console being
|
|
|
+ initialised to a buffer. The buffer is a circular buffer, so
|
|
|
+ if it overflows, earlier output is discarded.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Note that this is not currently supported in SPL. It would be
|
|
|

|
+ The size of the pre-console buffer affects how much console output
|
|
|
+ can be held before it overflows and starts discarding earlier
|
|
|
+ output. Normally there is very little output at this early stage,
|
|
|
+ unless debugging is enabled, so allow enough for ~10 lines of
|
|
|
+ text.
|
|

|
|
|
+ This is a useful feature if you are using a video console and
|
|

+ want to see the full boot output on the console. Without this
|
|
|

|
+ This sets the start address of the pre-console buffer. This must
