48 d.) The Netchip device must be plugged directly into the physical
49 debug port on the "host/target" system. You cannot use a USB hub in
50 between the physical debug port and the "host/target" system.
51
52 The EHCI debug controller is bound to a specific physical USB
53 port and the Netchip device will only work as an early printk
54 device in this port. The EHCI host controllers are electrically
55 wired such that the EHCI debug controller is hooked up to the
56 first physical and there is no way to change this via software.
57 You can find the physical port through experimentation by trying
58 each physical port on the system and rebooting. Or you can try
59 and use lsusb or look at the kernel info messages emitted by the
60 usb stack when you plug a usb device into various ports on the
61 "host/target" system.
62
63 Some hardware vendors do not expose the usb debug port with a
64 physical connector and if you find such a device send a complaint
65 to the hardware vendor, because there is no reason not to wire
66 this port into one of the physically accessible ports.
67
68 e.) It is also important to note, that many versions of the Netchip
69 device require the "client/console" system to be plugged into the
70 right and side of the device (with the product logo facing up and
71 readable left to right). The reason being is that the 5 volt
72 power supply is taken from only one side of the device and it
73 must be the side that does not get rebooted.
