06:07 <befedo[m]> I’m using the Alchitry AU platform defined by litex-boards and want to use the uartbone. Is this possible with only the board given serialport?

06:07 <befedo[m]> Hi there,

06:50 <sensille> befedo[m]: i don't know that platform, but you can use uartbone when you only have one serial

06:50 <sensille> is that the question?

07:17 <befedo[m]> No, not really … 😊

07:17 <befedo[m]> I have one on board serial which is configured by the platform and provides the litex shell to the host. Now I want to use this serial as uartbone and not as a tty device seen from the host side.

07:18 <sensille> so yes. you use the serial as uartbone, and can tunnel the bios shell via etherbone to the host

07:19 <sensille> i think you have to set the uart to crossover

07:20 <sensille> and use wishbone tool to access the shell

07:23 <sensille> it worked for me, but was very slow because of the latency my usb-to-uart converter added (ft232r)

08:37 <befedo[m]> sensille: Thanks for your reply, I’ll try this way …

08:37 <befedo[m]> 👍🏻

08:38 <sensille> if you use ftdi there is a kernel-tunable to reduce latency
