[edk2-devel] [edk2-platforms] [PATCH V2 0/5] KabylakeOpenBoardPkg: HDMI DDC I2C Bus Debugging

Changes in V2:
 - Use SerialPortTerminalLib from MinPlatformPkg.
 - Override SerialPortLib on StatusCodeHandlerSmm not
   StatusCodeRouter.

Normally the HDMI DDC I2C bus is used to read the EDID
data from the monitor. An unintended but useful property
of this interface is that is does not require DMA to
perform I/O. This means that this interface can be used
to perform I/O before DRAM is initialized.

HDMI video output is a common feature of many laptops.
This makes the HDMI DDC bus the only I/O interface
that is often exposed outside of the laptop chassis
while simultaneously capable of being used in Pre-Memory.
Oddly... this makes it an ideal and novel way to perform
closed chassis debug.

This patch series adds a implementation of using the HDMI
DDC I2C Bus as a "poor man's" UART. This is accomplished
using the GMBUS that is part of the Intel HD Graphics
device. Accordingly, this implementation will only work
on systems with the HDMI port routed to the Intel
graphics device, and will not work on systems with HDMI
routed to a discrete GPU.

In order to use this implementation, one will also need
a BusPirate programmed with Nate's Custom Bus Pirate FW
for I2C Serial Debug. This firmware is available from:

https://github.com/nate-desimone/Bus_Pirate

This firmware interfaces with the I2C Bus and forwards
traffic from it to the FTDI USB Serial Adapter that is
integrated with the BusPirate. In combination, this
results in the HDMI port appearing to function as a
regular UART to the user.

If you would like to see this in action, I made a short
YouTube video:
