From the LinuxSH CVS (I can write new ones if these are inadequate):
SuperH SCI (serial) support CONFIG_SH_SCI Selecting this option will allow the Linux kernel to transfer data over SCI (Serial Communication Interface) and/or SCIF which are built into the Hitachi SuperH processor.
If in doubt, press "y".
Use LinuxSH standard BIOS CONFIG_SH_STANDARD_BIOS Say Y here if your target has the gdb-sh-stub package from www.m17n.org (or any conforming standard LinuxSH BIOS) in FLASH or EPROM. The kernel will use standard BIOS calls during boot for various housekeeping tasks. Note this does not work with WindowsCE machines. If unsure, say N.
GDB Stub kernel debug CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL_WITH_GDB_STUB If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the SuperH kernel using gdb, if you have the gdb-sh-stub package from www.m17n.org (or any conforming standard LinuxSH BIOS) in FLASH or EPROM. This enlarges your kernel image disk size by several megabytes but allows you to load, run and debug the kernel image remotely using gdb. This is only useful for kernel hackers. If unsure, say N.
