Aspeed Virtual UARTs directly bridge e.g. the system console UART on the LPC bus to the UART interface on the BMC's internal APB. As such there's no RS-232 signalling involved - the UART interfaces on each bus are directly connected as the producers and consumers of the one set of FIFOs. The APB in the AST2600 generally runs at 100MHz while the LPC bus peaks at 33MHz. The difference in clock speeds exposes a race in the VUART design where a Tx data burst on the APB interface can result in a byte lost on the LPC interface. The symptom is LSR[DR] remains clear on the LPC interface despite data being present in its Rx FIFO, while LSR[THRE] remains clear on the APB interface as the host has not consumed the data the BMC has transmitted. In this state, the UART has stalled and no further data can be transmitted without manual intervention (e.g. resetting the FIFOs, resulting in loss of data). The recommended work-around is to insert a read cycle on the APB interface between writes to THR.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
