Hello,
I am trying to use PCI-E serial port with UEFI. Unfortunately I cannot initialize serial port.
I checked with GRUB if it is working and while booted in i386-pc (legacy mode), I can configure serial port and everything works fine. However, when I boot x86_64-efi GRUB it says "serial port isn't found" when I try to access it same way I do under CSM.
I also displayed information about serial port device under EFI shell with `pci` command and it reports "(00) I/O space access enabled: 0", what probably is my problem.
I would like to ask if it is possible to enable I/O space access and use that PCI-E adapter for debugging purposes with EFI bootloader?

Before or after you exit boot services?prontoguy wrote:I would like to ask if it is possible to enable I/O space access and use that PCI-E adapter for debugging purposes with EFI bootloader?
Before you exit boot services, you should use the Serial I/O Protocol to access it.
After you exit boot services, you can locate the adapter by enumerating PCI and enable its port-mapped I/O by setting bit 0 of the command register in the device's PCI configuration space.

I use PCIe Serial card for debug WinXP 64-bit on pure UEFI. For debugging (WinDbg) to work, you need:

I have built a SerialDxe.efi driver that enable I/O access (no need use mm 04000004 1 -pci anymore) but to debug Windows I still have to use baudrate 14400 in BCD and 115200 in Windbg:

- the PCIe Serial card must support access Port-Mapped I/O (PMIO) (or maybe MIXED Port-Mapped I/O (PMIO) + Memory-Mapped I/O (MMIO)
- under UEFI Shell you need to set bit 0 of command register in PCI config space e.g. my card has bus dev func 04 00 00:
Code: Select all
mm 04000004 1 -pci
- debugging must be enabled in the BCD file - for my card I need speed 14400
- kdcom.dll must be patched - instead of the I/O address for COM1 03F8 the PCIe card address - mine has D000
- in WinDbg I need to set the speed to 115200
