Hi all,
I've been working in the serial driver.
And I've got a little confused about what is to be performed in
*up_earlyserialinit. *
I've been looking at other chips and I noticed that the
*_lowsetup *function performs
almost the same of this function and the latter is called earlier than the
fo
The primary purpose of xyz_earlyserialinit() is to make the serial
console available for low level debug output before the serial driver is
initialized. That happens much later. That is helpful mostly for
debugging. Without early initialization of the serial console, there
will be no output un
As I said, the early serial initialization is needed for boot-up debug
output. Here is a little more detail:
If the serial is not initialized, then up_putc will not work. In fact,
any calls to up_putc() could hang. If the serial console is the syslog
debug channel, then up_putc is called fr
Hi,
I think that there is the following weirdness in strdup;
The function is made to allocate memory from kernel or user-space heap
according to where it is used, via lib_malloc.
But, there is no similar transparent way to free the memory. Normally,
when using strdup, you'd simply use "free"
You could use lib_free()Sent from my Galaxy
