| This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel |
| to print messages very early in the bootup process. |
| |
| This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very |
| early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation, |
| it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and |
| doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here, |
| unless you want to debug such a crash. |

| help |
| For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that |
| by default specifies the kernel command line options. However, |
| it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the |
| default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it. |
| For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own |
| command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you |
| should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments |
| in CONFIG_CMDLINE. |
| |
| The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command |
| line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default |
| command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string. |
| |
| Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon |
| the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader. |

| On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to |
| pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases |
| when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore |
| the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at |
| build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify |
| kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom |
| initialization routines. |
| |
| For more information, see the CMDLINE_BOOL and CMDLINE_OVERRIDE |
| options. |

| help |
| By setting this option to 'Y' you will have your kernel ignore |
| command line arguments from firmware or second stage bootloader. |
| Instead, the built-in command line will be used exclusively. |

| SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 for your board and enable this option to |
| debug it. |
| |
| If your board doesn't support uart16550 compatible serial port, you |
| can try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT and use the other methods to |
| debug it. for example, add a new serial port support just as |
| arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-16550.c does. |
