From 6bc7dfae2dddd2673a9fdb10ee8d36f3f4b81d9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2015 18:07:21 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Enable debug UART for Minnowmax Enable the debug UART and emit a single 'a' early in the init sequence to show that it is working. Unfortunately the debug UART implementation needs a stack to work. I cannot seem to remove this limitation as the absolute 'jmp %eax' instruction goes off into the weeds. So this means that the character output cannot be any earlier than car_init_ret, where memory is available for a stack.
