Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 12:31:16 +0200 From: Johannes Berg <johannes@...solutions.net> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@...driver.com>, Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org> Subject: usb debug port documentation Hi, I've been looking at http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/earlyprintk.txt and spent a while finding everything correctly in place. One of the big unknowns is what way debug ports are enumerated, so if you have a few USB ports you end up trying a lot. At the same time, I at least wasn't sure I was doing everything correctly to start with. It does seem, for example, that I needed the serial driver built in the kernel too? In any case, to help others I was wondering if we should start a wiki page somewhere or so that just lists what port on various machines people have gotten it to work on? I have a Toshiba Satellite U505 and earlyprintk=dbgp,keep uses the port on the right-hand side of the machine... That information could possibly help somebody who is setting it up for the first time, since it reduces the search space? :) If there's an appropriate wiki, I'd like to be pointed to it so I can start a page and submit a kernel patch pointing to it. Otherwise I'll just create it internally since we all typically use just a handful of machine types, but it seems like public could help more people. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
