Multiplexing UART

Hi,

Ours is a custom board is based on imx6.In which UART 2 is connected to GSM modem.In linux we are only able to access the UART once.What we wanted is to multiplex the UART 2 i.e ttymxc1 into 3 or 2 virtual port . So that i can access my serial port multiple times.Is there any driver available to multiplex my ttymxc1.If there is any method to multiplex please help me.Please reply as soon as possible

Thank you,

Thank you,

Do you mean the access to a single hardware UART port by different processes/software threads at the same time? If so, the answer is: no, it is not possible. It is prohibited on the Linux kernel level.

Have a great day,
