I am using an embedded system with MPC8567 as processor and ISP1561 as USB PCI host controller. There is USB port on this board. A sealevel USB/RS232 cable is connect to the USB port on the board, and it converts USB port into RS232 port. A PC is connected to the RS232 end of the cable.
With "CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO" flag enabled, I compiled the Linux kernel. Everything works fine, I am able to launch the hyperterminal on PC and have the console running for Linux. Now I need make things working for Uboot. I've already have the EHCI host controller running well on the board. Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect. What I need to do is to port the FTDI_SIO driver from Linux to Uboot, which replace those "udc" calls in usbtty.c. With the ported FTDI_SIO code and existing usbtty.c. It shall work fine after correct setup of the environment variables - "setenv stdin usbtty, setenv stdout usbtty". Or is there any other solution for me? I don't have to use the USB-RS232 cable. I just need the Uboot console from USB port.
