This option makes the value of the 'silent' environment variable take effect at relocation. +config PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER + bool "Buffer characters before the console is available" + help + Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART + initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. + Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to + buffer any console messages prior to the console being + initialised to a buffer. The buffer is a circular buffer, so + if it overflows, earlier output is discarded. + + Note that this is not currently supported in SPL. It would be + useful to be able to share the pre-console buffer with SPL. + +config PRE_CON_BUF_SZ + int "Sets the size of the pre-console buffer" + depends on PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER + default 4096 + help + The size of the pre-console buffer affects how much console output + can be held before it overflows and starts discarding earlier + output. Normally there is very little output at this early stage, + unless debugging is enabled, so allow enough for ~10 lines of + text. + + This is a useful feature if you are using a video console and + want to see the full boot output on the console. Without this + option only the post-relocation output will be displayed. + +config PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR + hex "Address of the pre-console buffer" + depends on PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER + default 0x2f000000 if ARCH_SUNXI && MACH_SUN9I + default 0x4f000000 if ARCH_SUNXI && !MACH_SUN9I + help + This sets the start address of the pre-console buffer.
