I using mqx 4.1.2(for MCC V1.0) on Colibri VF61 according http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/mqx-on-the-cortex-m4-of-a-colibri-vf61
UART_B is disabled at vf-colibri-eval-v3.dtsi « dts « boot « arm « arch - linux-toradex.git - Linux kernel for Apalis, Colibri and Verdin modules

But there is no output at UART_B.
Before UART_B is disabled in device tree, there is output from UART_B. Should UART_B be re-initialized in mqx after being disabled in device tree ?

Most likely this is either due to clock issues or pinmux issues.

Clocks: Can you try with passing clk_ignore_unused in the kernel arguments? It could be that the kernel disables relevant clocks.

Pinmux: Toradex uses PTD0/PTD1 ALT2 (on GPIO 79/80) for UART2 (UART_B in Toradex terms, TTYC in MQX terms). It seems that the standard pinmux in source/bsp/twrvf65gs10_m4/init_gpio.c uses something different, can you try this change in function _bsp_serial_io_init?

Yes, with configuration for clock and pinmux , UARTB works on M4 side.Thanks.
