How to specify virtual Address for pl011 uart in linux kernel

Vivek_004

Hi,

I am a beginner in kernel porting. I am trying to port Linux kernel (version- 4.9.22) on Custom SoC (cpu = arm1176jzfs based) for custom evaluation Board. I am having ARM Prime cell pl011 UART in my SoC. And it is physically mapped to 0x5800_1000 address. While i am trying to use it as Debug UART, kernel is asking for its virtual Address. How should i configure this option.

i.e:
    -> Kernel low-level debugging functions
        -> kernel low-level debugging port (Kernel low-level debugging on via ARM Ltd PL01x Primecell UART)
    (0x58001000) Physical base address of debug UART
    (??) Virtual base address of debug UART

Thanks,

Vivek T.

    I have a debugger, I debug after doing fellow your steps

    getintopc.app  In Kernel configuration, enable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO (Kernel Hacking -> Compile-time checks and compiler options)

    -Compile the kernel

    -From the debugger software, load the symbols from the elf. The command varies from one debugger to another

    -Find symbol "log_buf", and chose option to "Display memory as dump"

    My Issue is solved thanks dear
