Hello,
I have an application that uses UART2. It runs fine under Debian 7
("Wheezy") however it doesn't under Debian 8 ("Jessie", kernel:
4.1.15-ti-rt-r43); nothing arrives at the corresponding tty file
(/dev/ttyO2).
For enabling UARTs I declared
cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2 (Debian 7)
cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2 (Debian 8)
in */boot/uEnv.txt*.
(Note that when I use UART4 instead of UART2 my application runs fine under
both operating systems.)
So I tried to figure out the changes from Debian 7 to Debian 8 by looking
at the dts files. Looking at *cape-universal-00A0.dts* revealed:
*Debian 7:*
/************************/
/* UARTs */
/************************/
fragment@10 {
target = <&uart2>; /* really uart1 */
__overlay__ {
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <>;
};
};
fragment@11 {
target = <&uart3>; /* really uart2 */
__overlay__ {
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <>;
};
};
*Debian 8 (/opt/source/bb.org-overlays/src/arm/cape-universal-00A0.dts):*
/************************/
/* UARTs */
/************************/
fragment@10 {
target = <&uart2>; /* really uart1 */
__overlay__ {
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <>;
};
};
fragment@11 {
target = <&uart3>; /* really uart2 */
__overlay__ {
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <>;
};
};
*Debian 8 (/opt/source/bb.org-overlays/src/arm/cape-universal-00A0.dts):*
/************************/
/* UARTs */
/************************/
fragment@10 {
target = <&uart1>;
__overlay__ {
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <>;
};
};
fragment@11 {
target = <&uart2>;
__overlay__ {
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <>;
};
};
I don't know what this exactly means, especially the "really uart<x>". Can
anyone clarify here? Also there are two different *cape-universal-00A0.dts
*files
under Debian 8, which one is relevant? I see that in */boot/uEnv.txt* the
following line is enabled by default: *cmdline=coherent_pool=1M quiet
cape_universal=enable*. Which dts (dtb) file does it refer to?
Comparing */opt/source/bb.org-overlays/src/arm/BB-UART4-00A0.dts* and
*/opt/source/bb.org-overlays/src/arm/BB-UART2-00A0.dts* under Debian 8
revealed that apparently both pins have a different multiplexer mode (uart2
-> MUX_MODE1, uart4 -> MUX_MODE6). Does this have any effect? I couldn't
find an equivalent dts file for Debian 7.
Probably related: from *cape-universal-00A0.dts* I see
*UART2 (P9_21, P9_22):*
[...]
P9_21_uart_pin: pinmux_P9_21_uart_pin {
pinctrl-single,pins = <0x154 0x31>; }; /* Mode 1,
Pull-Up, RxActive */
[...]
P9_22_uart_pin: pinmux_P9_22_uart_pin {
pinctrl-single,pins = <0x150 0x31>; }; /* Mode 1,
Pull-Up, RxActive */
*UART4 (P9_11, P9_13):*
[...]
P9_11_uart_pin: pinmux_P9_11_uart_pin {
pinctrl-single,pins = <0x070 0x36>; }; /* Mode 6,
Pull-Up, RxActive */
[...]
P9_13_uart_pin: pinmux_P9_13_uart_pin {
pinctrl-single,pins = <0x074 0x36>; }; /* Mode 6,
Pull-Up, RxActive */
Is this relevant / exhibiting different behavior?
I also realized that for UART2 there is an additional dts file under Debian
8: */opt/source/bb.org-overlays/src/arm/BB-UART2-RTSCTS-00A0.dts*
For UART4 there is no equivalent. How is this related?
The pin multiplexing declarations in *cape-universal-00A0.dts *(P9_21_pinmux,
P9_22_pinmux) seem to remain the same when going from Debian 7 to Debian 8.
So does anyone know the reason why UART2 behaves differently on Debian 8
(compared to Debian 7)?
Many thanks in advance! Cheers,
Dominik
