Enabling RS 485 on Hummingboard2, Debian 4.9.150

Hello,

I am trying to enable the RS485 port, but ttymxc1 doesn’t show up in /dev (ttymxc0 and ttymxc2 are there).

I tried to follow the instructions here:

https://solidrun.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/developer/pages/270631021/HummingBoard+CBi+Quick+Start+Guide

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
=> setenv is_cbi 1
=> saveenv
=> reset

However, the setting is_cbi = yes causes the board to fail to boot, because the dtb file is not included in the device tree files:

Failed to load '/boot/dtbs/4.9.150-imx6-sr/imx6dl-hummingboard2-cbi-emmc-som-v15.dtb'

What is the best way to get RS 485 working in the latest software?

Thanks,
John

Are you using Debian’s kernel, or our patched kernel?

Hi,

I am using the latest Debian image from SolidRun: sr-imx6-debian-buster-20220731-cli.img.xz

Thanks,
John
