The reference implementation of the imx8qxp/imx8dx (mek board) uses lpuart0 for the console. We have the console on lpuart2. Getting a look on NXP u-boot that is today the base of our code, DMA is defined for lpuart1-2-3, not for lpuart0. NXP doesn't use DMA for the console anywhere for imx8. It seems it doesn't work properly with their driver. For this reason, we disabled the DMA here. Getting now a look to u-boot upstream I see that the DMA is not configured anywhere. Moving to upstream we don't have to disable anymore. @Heiko: I propose to remove. > > >> - add wdt device > >> > >> Signed-off-by: Heiko Schocher <h...@denx.de> > >> --- > >> > >> arch/arm/dts/imx8-capricorn.dtsi | 16 ++++++++++++++++ > > > > Are there any plans to upstream this dtsi and switch to OF_UPSTREAM? > > Hmm... good question!

Here the commit "feat(scu_wdt): add option to control external wdt via IMX8 SCU" https://code.siemens.com/ccp/u-boot/-/commit/a5b99d1c406fdf92cd1d7d50d566a4e1e66c447b @Heiko: Check if we have a chance to put the whole commit upstream. > > bye, > Heiko > -- > DENX Software Engineering GmbH, Managing Director: Erika Unter > HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany > Phone: +49-8142-66989-52 Fax: +49-8142-66989-80 Email: h...@denx.de Thanks, Enrico
