[iMX8QM-MEK] RS232(ttyLP2) setting

sushi_happy — Wed, 18 May 2022 02:09:39 GMT

Hi, all.

I would like to use the imx8qm-mek RS-232 connector (J37).
LPUART2( /dev/ttyLP2 ) is not enabled.
What should I do?

I made the following changes.

changes
・init.rc (/device/nxp/imx8q/mek_8q)
- Added the following code before "on boot".

chmod 0777 /dev/ttyLP2

・imx8qm-mek.dts (/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel-imx/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale)
- changed the following code.

&lpuart2 {
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_lpuart2>;
status = "okay";
};

Sorry for miss your thread and late reply.

1. use stty configure the ttyLP2 and test

stty -F /dev/ttyLP2 115200
echo abc > /dev/ttyLP2

2. enable ttyLP2 in systemd as another login console for test purpose

systemctl enable serial-getty@ttyLP2

You will have two login consoles.

Thank you @Rita_Wang .
I saw that page, so already it's checked.
How to check rs232 port in imx8-8x baseboard in imx8qxp-mek

Executing that command will fail.

There is no ttyLP2 device file in the first place.

Executing the command on ttyLP4 does not echo to ttyLP4.

Hi, I have exact same problem with my i.MX8 QM MEK board. I am using Base Board to connect PC and Board using RS232. I am using USB-to-serial converter to do that, but I cannot see /dev/ttyLP2. I also tried to change lpuart2 status in dts to "okay" but it didn't help.
Did you manage to solve the problem?
BR,
Vanja

Hi, @vzeric .

It's the same situation.
The problem is unresolved.
UART2 is assigned to core M41, and access from core A may be prohibited.
However, UART2 cannot be used even if the SCFW changed.

I was able to use LPUART4 with reference to the following.
