.System default console settings
3+
====
4+
System firmware can use two methods for specifying a default console device:
5+
6+
* ACPI Serial Port Console Redirection (SPCR) table.
7+
This ACPI table may be configurable via system firmware setup menus.
8+
* FDT `/chosen/stdout-path` property.
9+
This FDT property may be adjustable, for example, by applying FDT Overlays.
10+
11+
These defaults get overridden by using any `console=` kernel command line options.
12+
Adding a secondary output device therefore requires manually specifying the
13+
default console device.

=== Default console settings optimized for {rpi}
236+
237+
The {productnameshort} {this-version} {aarch64} images use default kernel
238+
command line settings tuned for easy evaluation on {rpireg} devices.
239+
240+
For usage with {arm} BSA-compliant servers you will have to edit the
241+
command line in the GRUB menu:
242+
243+
* Drop `console=ttyS0,115200`. Optionally try `console=ttyAMA0,115200` or similar for serial output, including IPMI Serial-over-LAN via a BMC.
244+
* Drop `console=tty0` if you don't need the console output on a graphical display.
245+
246+
This behavior will change with {productnameshort} {next-version}.
