[SOLVED] How to get boot messages over a serial cable ?

[puefiko]

Hi, TC gurus,
I am trying to capture the boot messages via a COM cable, and can't find the working kernel option.
Tried "serial" and "earlyprintk=serial" - nothing seen in the terminal...
I see the boot log on the screen when using "text" option, and dmesg works fine as well.
Is there a standard kernel option for this ?
Is it working on TC 3.3 ?

Thanks in advance!

You need to specify console=ttySx where x is your COM port as explained in the kernel documentation.

Thank you - it worked fine, I also added a second "console" option to get the debug messages on the monitor as well, otherwise they go to COM port only:

console=ttyS0 console=tty0
