The chosen node
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The chosen node does not represent a real device, but serves as a place
|
||
|
|
for passing data between firmware and the operating system, like boot
|
||
|
|
arguments. Data in the chosen node does not represent the hardware.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
stdout-path property
|
||
|
|
--------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Device trees may specify the device to be used for boot console output
|
||
|
|
with a stdout-path property under /chosen, as described in ePAPR, e.g.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/ {
|
||
|
|
chosen {
|
||
|
|
stdout-path = "/serial@f00:115200";
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
serial@f00 {
|
||
|
|
compatible = "vendor,some-uart";
|
||
|
|
reg = <0xf00 0x10>;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the character ":" is present in the value, this terminates the path.
|
||
|
|
The meaning of any characters following the ":" is device-specific, and
|
||
|
|
must be specified in the relevant binding documentation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For UART devices, the preferred binding is a string in the form:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<baud>{<parity>{<bits>{<flow>}}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
baud - baud rate in decimal
|
||
|
|
parity - 'n' (none), 'o', (odd) or 'e' (even)
|
||
|
|
bits - number of data bits
|
||
|
|
flow - 'r' (rts)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example: 115200n8r
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Implementation note: Linux will look for the property "linux,stdout-path" or
|
||
|
|
on PowerPC "stdout" if "stdout-path" is not found. However, the
|
||
|
|
"linux,stdout-path" and "stdout" properties are deprecated. New platforms
|
||
|
|
should only use the "stdout-path" property.
