The only difference is the UART that +is used as the U-Boot console UART. The default defconfig file: + +conga-qeval20-qa3-e3845_defconfig + +provides this console on the UART0 which is provided via a Winbond +Super-IO chip connected on the congatec Qseven 2.0 evaluation carrier +board (conga-QEVAL). This UART is the one provided with a SubD9 +connector on the mainboard (the low one). The 2nd defconfig file: + +conga-qeval20-qa3-e3845-internal-uart_defconfig + +provides the U-Boot console on the BayTrail internal legacy UART, +which is routed from the QSeven SoM to the X300 connector on the +baseboard. Here is called COM2. The baseboard already provides the +RS232 level shifters. So a TTL-USB UART adapter does not work in +this case. The signals need to get connected directly to the +RS232 level signals of the PC UART via some adapter cable. |
