Serial console
The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
In order to get serial console output from various components of your system special options may be needed. This page tries to give a short description of how to use these options.
