I am running into a problem where everything works fine but as soon as the login prompt shows it seems like UART_A stops TRANSMITTING! I say transmitting because it looks like it is still receiving. I say this because i went with SSH to the board and did: “echo 1 > /dev/ttymxc0” and it will print it on my PuTTy session where I am connected to the UART_A with a RS232 module.
I have a custom image installed on my Iris Carrier Board. But since the complete boot proces is printed I was under the impression this wasn’t an issue. A quick side-note is that I am also unable to get into u-boot. I cant give any boot from moment 0. As soon as the booting proces starts i am unable to give any input. I have also tried connecting a keyboard to it with no result.
I also ran in to this problem with the ‘normal’ image installed i got from the Toradex website. The “tezi”? image.
After some looking around i found the following, these look to be my device-tree settings. It looks like uart is disabled to me.
Does this mean that UART_A is disabled? I also couldn’t quite understand what pinctrl_uart1 exactly is? If this is the case. How am I able to adjust everything since I am unable to get into u-boot.
Can you please specify the BSP version you’re using?
On which device tree file did you find these uart settings? IIRC, the uart nodes are disabled in the SoC device tree but then they are enabled in the specific carrier board device tree.
I see you made some changes to the device tree, namely including the bluetooth setting.
Can you confirm the same issue occurs with our reference image with no changes at all? Also, can you confirm the settings on your serial terminal? These should be baud rate 115200, 8N1, no software flow control and no hardware flow control.
Also, can you please provide the output of fw_printenv on Linux? This should print your U-Boot environment variables which would be relevant here too.
And yes I saw that in a seperate file the uart1 { status=okay } was added. I wasn’t sure this was enough.
Also i have 115200N1 and NONE and NONE set.
I just downloaded an image with help of the Toradex Easy Installer, actually i tried 3 different ones. With all of them i have the same issue. I am trying to look for a new RS232 cable but I dont have 1 available this fast.
