3 Linux Serial Console
6 To use a serial port as console you need to compile the support into your
10 …ices --> Serial drivers --> 8250/16550 and compatible serial support --> Console on 8250/16550 and…
14 It is possible to specify multiple devices for console output. You can
16 use for console output.
20 	console=device,options
22 	device:		tty0 for the foreground virtual console
23 			ttyX for any other virtual console
35 You can specify multiple console= options on the kernel command line.
37 you open ``/dev/console``. So, for example::
39 	console=ttyS1,9600 console=tty0
41 defines that opening ``/dev/console`` will get you the current foreground
42 virtual console, and kernel messages will appear on both the VGA
43 console and the 2nd serial port (ttyS1 or COM2) at 9600 baud.
45 Note that you can only define one console per device type (serial, video).
47 If no console device is specified, the first device found capable of
48 acting as a system console will be used. At this time, the system
51 become the console.
53 You will need to create a new device to use ``/dev/console``. The official
54 ``/dev/console`` is now character device 5,1.
56 (You can also use a network device as a console.  See
59 Here's an example that will use ``/dev/ttyS1`` (COM2) as the console.
62 1. Create ``/dev/console`` (real console) and ``/dev/tty0`` (master virtual
63    console)::
66      rm -f console tty0
67      mknod -m 622 console c 5 1
79      append = "console=ttyS1,9600"
91    console for the first time, because otherwise init will probably
92    set the baudrate to 38400 (baudrate of the virtual console).
94 6. ``/dev/console`` and X
95    Programs that want to do something with the virtual console usually
96    open ``/dev/console``. If you have created the new ``/dev/console`` device,
97    and your console is NOT the virtual console some programs will fail.
99    ``/dev/console instead of /dev/tty0``. Some of those programs are::
105    Note that if you boot without a ``console=`` option (or with
106    ``console=/dev/tty0``), ``/dev/console`` is the same as ``/dev/tty0``.
