08:14 <rperier> mhhhh.... very interesting this rockchip usb uart thing... I think that I will use it on my chromebook (as the real uart is not wired)

08:53 <mmind00> rperier: I'm especially happy that amstan was able to verify its function, as I had written it in a vacuum originally ;-)

09:48 <naobsd> usb uart?

09:49 <naobsd> I think uart tx/rx must be connected to usb dp/dm (i.e. hardware support is needed), right?

16:05 <rperier> cool ! which part does work exactly via usb uart ? if I understood correctly booting a linux kernel with an earlycon is possible, right ?

16:06 <rperier> not sure, but, amstan shown me bootloader logs few days ago...

16:06 <amstan> rperier: hello

16:06 <rperier> hi

16:06 <rperier> :)

16:06 <rperier> (the part selecting the dtb)

17:16 <mmind00> rperier: the usb uart just reroutes the uart2 pins to the usb port

17:17 <mmind00> rperier: so while yes, real earlycon support comes with the latest patch from Stefan Agner ... it doesn't really matter, as the usb-uart stuff works on the hw-level anyway [it still stays uart2 for everything]

17:20 <amstan> rperier: what device do you have? some of the chromebooks have some easy to solder to uart headers if you're willing to open the case
