I see that this is all publicly available, so no problem sharing: - IEEE 1275, IEEE Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware: Core Requirements and Practices - Power Architecture Platform Requirements (PAPR) at power.org - Step 1: $ cat /proc/device-tree/options/output-device /vdevice/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ==> hvsi0 or hvc0 $ cat /proc/device-tree/options/output-device /vdevice/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ==> hvsi1 - Step 2 (if hvsi0 or hvc0): $ cat /proc/device-tree/vdevice/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/compatible hvterm-protocol ==> hvsi0 $ cat /proc/device-tree/vdevice/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/compatible hvterm -- or -- hvterm1 ==> hvc0 In other words: hvterm-protocol ==> Serial port attached console at port 1 or 2 (non-HMC managed) hvterm or hvterm1 ==> HMC managed console Rolf
