Peripheral UART[edit | edit source]

Device tree configuration[edit | edit source]

Here below an example of device tree configuration used on standard DAVE's kit for the AXEL ULite SOM:

From the Carrier imx6ul-lynx-som0013-cb002f.dts device tree:

&uart2 {
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart2_flow>;
        fsl,uart-has-rtscts;
        status = "okay";
};

From imx6qdl-axelcommon.dtsi:

&iomuxc {
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_hog_gpios>;

        imx6ul-lynx {
...
...
            pinctrl_uart2_flow: uart2grp-flow {
                fsl,pins = <
                        MX6UL_PAD_UART2_TX_DATA__UART2_DCE_TX 0x1b0b1
                        MX6UL_PAD_UART2_RX_DATA__UART2_DCE_RX 0x1b0b1
                        MX6UL_PAD_UART2_CTS_B__UART2_DCE_CTS  0x1b0b1
                        MX6UL_PAD_UART2_RTS_B__UART2_DCE_RTS  0x1b0b1
                >;
        };
...

Usage with stty[edit | edit source]

N.B. UART mapping respect to ttymxcX is the following one:

UART1 <-> ttymxc0
UART2 <-> ttymxc1
UART3 <-> ttymxc2
UART4 <-> ttymxc3
UART5 <-> ttymxc4
UART6 <-> ttymxc5
UART7 <-> ttymxc6
UART8 <-> ttymxc7
...
root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# stty -F /dev/ttymxc7 115200 -echo
root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# cat /dev/ttymxc7 &
[1] 331
root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~# echo "Test loopback" > /dev/ttymxc7
root@desk-mx6ul-axelulite:~#

Additional information[edit | edit source]

Serial ports can be used through the standard serial programming API.
