You could config the kernel with CONFIG_SERIAL_ECHO option, the prompt of this option is "Echo console messages on /dev/ttyS0 ". > I have initialized the serial driver inside the setup_arch function > prior to the first messages that appear there. > I would like to know what are the minimum requirements from the kernel > side that I have to fulfill in order to have a debug console. The printk() uses internal buffer for keeping messages to be printed. So you only need to add two functions for serial console, one is for initialization and the other is for printing. Grep "CONFIG_SERIAL_ECHO " for the exactly function names.
