Hi, I have a board with two UARTs on it and I need a second independent console connected to the other UART ( I have multiple virtual machines and I want to give each their own console). What would be the best approach for this? I see the UART drivers are linked into bootstrap. Does the same driver from bootstrap remain resident in memory and become part of the address space of con once its starts?
Would I need to spawn a separate instance of con or could it be modified to support multiple consoles?
You should have a look into the 'cons' package. It is a console multiplexer and allows you to interact with multiple clients over one UART.
