Dear maintainers,
I came accross this issue when I was trying to add support for a new MIPS
board.
The getc() function from console_simple.c returns -EINVAL when no console is
registered.
It causes readline_simple to print a non-printable character (-EINVAL in this
case). Furthermore, it causes an infinite loop: readline never returns.
barebox:/ ���(...)���
With this patch, the error is no more explicit but the readline function stops
to print a dummy character and returns to shell.
barebox:/ <INTERRUPT>
barebox:/ <INTERRUPT>
barebox:/ <INTERRUPT>
(...)
barebox:/ <INTERRUPT>
barebox:/ <INTERRUPT>
barebox:/ <INTERRUPT>
The second patch is a simple cleanup of the in-file documentation.
Changes since v1:
- change c variable type from char in int
- set *p to NUL before returning -1 when getchar returns an error
- update function documentation

The getc function may return an errno code if an error happens.
This patch prevents readline from printing a non printable character and
from looping to infinity and beyong.

Just out of curiosity, what MIPS board are you working on? If it is not
a secret :)

I am working on VoCore2[1]; it is a board based on a mediatek mt7628 CPU.
I am doing this to learn myself how works barebox
Offtopic: For now it is booting on a really really old version of u-boot. I am
able de boot barebox from u-boot. I had to hack the mips_disable_interrupts to
remove the reset of flag ERL in CP0; but I don't know why yet. This flag is
supposed to be set when CPU reboots; but because I am running barebox from a the
command go of u-boot, this flag is unset.
Are you able to re-run barebox from barebox on your MIPS board?
.macro mips_disable_interrupts
.set push
.set noreorder
mfc0 k0, CP0_STATUS
- li k1, ~(ST0_ERL | ST0_IE)
+ li k1, ~ST0_IE
and k0, k1
mtc0 k0, CP0_STATUS
.set pop
.endm
For now, I have splitted mips_disable_interrupts into two macros. The second
macro mips_reset_error_level checks if the ERL flag is armed before resetting it
to 0.
.macro mips_reset_error_level
.set push
.set noreorder
mfc0 k0, CP0_STATUS
li k1, ST0_ERL
and k1, k0
bne k1, zero, 1f
li k1, ~(ST0_ERL)
and k0, k1
mtc0 k0, CP0_STATUS
1: .set pop
.endm
But I don't know if this is the right thing to do.

Yes, usually i prefer to make a binaries wich are able to start from
RAM, Jtag and Flash. Currently we test if it is running from spi flash
adn skip most of the low level init:
https://github.com/olerem/barebox/blob/ar9344-2017.08.01.1/arch/mips/boards/tplink-mr3020/include/board/board_pbl_start.h#L29
On this board i decided to use SRAM for low level init testing:
https://github.com/olerem/barebox/blob/ar9344-2017.08.01.1/arch/mips/boards/tplink-wdr4300/include/board/board_pbl_start.h#L38
