USB: ehci-dbgp,documentation: Documentation updates for ehci-dbgp
Add missing information about requirements of using the EHCI usb debug controller as well as to mention you can use a debug controller other than the first one in the system.

d.) The Netchip device must be plugged directly into the physical
|
||||||
|
debug port on the "host/target" system. You cannot use a USB hub in
|
||||||
|
between the physical debug port and the "host/target" system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The EHCI debug controller is bound to a specific physical USB
|
||||||
|
port and the Netchip device will only work as an early printk
|
||||||
|
device in this port. The EHCI host controllers are electrically
|
||||||
|
wired such that the EHCI debug controller is hooked up to the
|
||||||
|
first physical and there is no way to change this via software.
|
||||||
|
You can find the physical port through experimentation by trying
|
||||||
|
each physical port on the system and rebooting. Or you can try
|
||||||
|
and use lsusb or look at the kernel info messages emitted by the
|
||||||
|
usb stack when you plug a usb device into various ports on the
|
||||||
|
"host/target" system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some hardware vendors do not expose the usb debug port with a
|
||||||
|
physical connector and if you find such a device send a complaint
|
||||||
|
to the hardware vendor, because there is no reason not to wire
|
||||||
|
this port into one of the physically accessible ports.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
e.) It is also important to note, that many versions of the Netchip
|
||||||
|
device require the "client/console" system to be plugged into the
|
||||||
|
right and side of the device (with the product logo facing up and
|
||||||
|
readable left to right). The reason being is that the 5 volt
|
||||||
|
power supply is taken from only one side of the device and it
|
||||||
|
must be the side that does not get rebooted.

On systems with more than one EHCI debug controller you must
|
||||||
|
specify the correct EHCI debug controller number. The ordering
|
||||||
|
comes from the PCI bus enumeration of the EHCI controllers. The
|
||||||
|
default with no number argument is "0" the first EHCI debug
|

|
controller. To use the second EHCI debug controller, you would

use the command line: "earlyprintk=dbgp1"
