I am trying to enable earlycon on imx6sx. I appended "earlycon=ec_imx21,0x02020000,1152008n" string to the kernel parameter passed from uboot to the kernel. Indeed, this enabled the early console, but unfortunately, text output became garbled on my terminal:
setenv mmcargs setenv bootargs console=\${console},\${baudrate} root=/dev/mmcblk3p2 rootwait rw earlycon=ec_imx21,0x02020000,115200n8
=> saveenv
Saving Environment to MMC...
Writing to MMC(2)... done
=>
=> boot

It looks like baud rate was not set correctly?
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
