gives the user the ability to choose the UART driver
and also to choose whether the UART should be used
as the system console.
General Drivers
USB
The USB driver implements a standard Linux driver
interface to the ARC USB-OTG controller.

FlexCAN
The FlexCAN driver is designed as a network device
driver. It provides the interfaces to send and receive
CAN messages. The CAN protocol was primarily
designed to be used as a vehicle serial data bus,
meeting the specific requirements of this field: real-time
processing, reliable operation in the EMI environment
of a vehicle, cost-effectiveness and required bandwidth.

ASRC
The Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC)
driver provides the interfaces to access the
asynchronous sample rate converter module.

WatchDog
The Watchdog Timer module protects against system
failures by providing an escape from unexpected hang
or infinite loop situations or programming errors. This
WDOG implements the following features:
• Generates a reset signal if it is enabled but not
serviced within a predefined time-out value
• Does not generate a reset signal if it is serviced
within a predefined time-out value

MXC PWM driver The MXC PWM driver provides the interfaces to access
MXC PWM signals

Thermal Driver
Thermal driver is a necessary driver for monitoring and
protecting the SoC. The thermal driver will monitor the
SoC's temperature in a certain frequency. It defines
three trip points: critical, hot, and active.

OProfile
OProfile is a system-wide profiler for Linux systems,
capable of profiling all running code at low overhead.
