For example: "setenv stdin serial,nc". NOTE: No spaces -are allowed around the comma(s)! - -The length of the list is limited by malloc(), since the array used -is allocated and freed dynamically. - -It should be possible to specify any device which console_assign() -finds acceptable, but the code has only been tested with serial and -nc. - -iomux_doenv() prevents multiple use of the same device, e.g. "setenv -stdin nc,nc,serial" will discard the second nc. iomux_doenv() is -not able to modify the environment, however, so that "pri stdin" still -shows "nc,nc,serial". - -The major change in common/console.c was to modify fgetc() to call -the iomux_tstc() routine in a for-loop. iomux_tstc() in turn calls -the tstc() routine for every registered device, but exits immediately -when one of them returns true. fgetc() then calls iomux_getc(), -which calls the corresponding getc() routine. fgetc() hangs in -the for-loop until iomux_tstc() returns true and the input can be -retrieved. - -Thus, a user can type into any device registered for stdin. No effort -has been made to demulitplex simultaneous input from multiple stdin -devices. - -fputc() and fputs() have been modified to call iomux_putc() and -iomux_puts() respectively, which call the corresponding output -routines for every registered device. - -Thus, a user can see the ouput for any device registered for stdout -or stderr on all devices registered for stdout or stderr. As an -example, if stdin=serial,nc and stdout=serial,nc then all output -for serial, e.g. echos of input on serial, will appear on serial and nc. - -Just as with the old console code, this statement is still true: -If not defined in the environment, the first input device is assigned -to the 'stdin' file, the first output one to 'stdout' and 'stderr'. - -If CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV is defined then multiple input/output -devices can be set at boot time if defined in the environment. - -CAVEATS -------- - -Note that common/iomux.c calls console_assign() for every registered -device as it is discovered. This means that the environment settings -for application consoles will be set to the last device in the list. - -On a slow machine, such as MPC852T clocked at 66MHz, the overhead associated -with calling tstc() and then getc() means that copy&paste will normally not -work, even when stdin=stdout=stderr=serial. -On a faster machine, such as a sequoia, cut&paste of longer (about 80 -characters) lines works fine when serial is the only device used. - -Using nc as a stdin device results in even more overhead because nc_tstc() -is quite slow. Even on a sequoia cut&paste does not work on the serial -interface when nc is added to stdin, although there is no character loss using -the ethernet interface for input. In this test case stdin=serial,nc and -stdout=serial. - -In addition, the overhead associated with sending to two devices, when one of -them is nc, also causes problems. Even on a sequoia cut&paste does not work -on the serial interface (stdin=serial) when nc is added to stdout (stdout= -serial,nc). |
