Hi,

Yes, it's true.
In practice there is no difference using SERIAL_CONSOLE with -L parameter or USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE. I have introduced this new variabile only for emphasize that physically is different and works in a different way (with -L param). When make a new conf you could save a lot of time viewing in code that is possible to use getty with a suitable configuration for your usb console only adding -L.

Otherwise, unless new var adding, I can use SERIAL_CONSOLE with -L putting a comment in my machine/config file explaining that. And in a second time we can see if is correct to introduce a new var for this scope.

Regards,
Matteo Facchinetti

Hi,

I apologize for coming into this late, but could you give a quick explanation 
of why a
new variable is needed?  In other words, what is wrong with something like:
SERIAL_CONSOLE="-L /dev/ttyUSB0 115200"

USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE is similar to SERIAL_CONSOLE but SERIAL_CONSOLE variabile 
isn't described too.

IMHO could be need to add a new paragraph describing all kind of CONSOLE 
available for machine conf file.

Where's the right place to add these variabiles in usermanual?

Where's the patch that adds this new var to the usermanual?

There are many evaluationboard that use mini-usb port like as
a serial port + power supply. Using it as serial console have
to force getty with no need for carrier detect.
