Hi Alex , Cédric, we have tried this *option:-serial *pty* -serial *pty* -serial *pty *-serial *pty *-serial *pty to check the serial output on screen.
Here we are providing 2 scenarios without and with the changes suggested by @Cédric Le Goater <c...@kaod.org> . In first we are able to get /dev/ttyS4 serial port not /dev/ttyS2 In second we are able to get /dev/ttyS2 not /dev/ttyS4 *Scenario1:* *previously with normal qemu build i have tried emulation as:* qemu-system-arm -m 512 -M ast2500-evb,fmc-model=mx66u51235f,spi-model=mx66u 51235f -nographic -drive file=./pru-1.2.4_dev-rc1.static.mtd,format=raw,if=mtd -serial pty -serial pty -serial pty -serial pty which gives us output as. QEMU 7.2.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) char device redirected to /dev/pts/15 (label serial0) char device redirected to /dev/pts/16 (label serial1) char device redirected to /dev/pts/17 (label serial2) char device redirected to /dev/pts/18 (label serial3) so we can use *screen *to interact with the ttyS4 serial port like : screen /dev/pts/15 In which we have our boot process and shell prompt . *Scenario2:* *when I am using the newly build image with the changes *@Cédric Le Goater <c...@kaod.org>* provided* With the below command: ./qemu-system-arm -m 512 -M ast2500-evb,uart-default=uart2,fmc-model=mx66u 51235f,spi-model=mx66u51235f -nographic -drive file=./pru-1.2.4_dev-rc1.static.mtd,format=raw,if=mtd -serial pty -serial pty -serial pty -serial pty got the output: QEMU 7.2.90 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) char device redirected to /dev/pts/4 (label serial0) char device redirected to /dev/pts/5 (label serial1) char device redirected to /dev/pts/6 (label serial2) char device redirected to /dev/pts/7 (label serial3) where we are able to get the output of /dev/ttyS2 serial in the *screen* /dev/pts/7 but we are not getting the output of serial /dev/ttyS4 we have tried increasing the number of *-serial pty* options also and checked the output of each with a screen but no success. Can you please guide us further. Regards, Abhishek >
