Stefan Kalkowski ed52d5a211 Introduce 'spec' subdirectories to outline aspects Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories at the corresponding levels, e.g.: repos/base/include/spec repos/base/mk/spec repos/base/lib/mk/spec repos/base/src/core/spec ... Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform' directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.

README

This driver operates the UARTs on the given platform. It provides the
'Terminal_session' interface for output via serial line.

Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The server supports the following configuration options, supplied
via Genode's config mechanism.

:Routing clients to specific UARTs:

  Depending on the underlying hardware platform, the UART server is
  configurable to route specific clients to distinct UARTs. There is
  no default routing, so the configuration is mandatory. UART 0 is
  assumed to be used by the kernel and, therefore, left untouched.

  ! <config>
  !   <policy label="test-uart1" uart="1" detect_size="yes" />
  !   <policy label="test-uart2" uart="2" />
  !   <policy label="test-uartx" uart="1" />
  ! </config>

  If the 'detect_size' attribute is set to "yes", the UART driver will
  try to detect the terminal size of the connected remote terminal using
  a protocol of escape sequences. If not specified, the UART driver will
  report a size of (0, 0) to the terminal-session client.
