I have a working implementation, and patches for it. Basically I call uart_enable() from the NS16550 driver before writing any serial data out or when wanting to read serial data. But it is ugly and I am torn between simple ugliness and complex pervasiveness. Advice welcome. Regards, Simon

Still it is an unusual hardware situation. Given the current mess around the eserial structure definition macros I would need to copy that again and create a set of _putc(), _puts() functions for each UART I think. It could be done once serial is cleaned up, but really don't want to undertake it now. In any case we need buffering for all this to work so I might as well wait until this is resolved: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/120013/ Regards, Simon

On Seaboard the UART and SPI interfere with each other. This causes the UART to receive spurious zero bytes after SPI transactions and also means that SPI can corrupt a few output characters when it starts up if they are still in the UART buffer. This updates the board to use the SPI/UART switch to avoid the problem. For now this feature is turned off since it needs changes to the NS16550 UART to operate.
