Using i.MX6 UART as MIDI port

[francescolavra]

Hello,

I'm looking to create MIDI input/output ports on an i.MX6-based board running Linux. These ports will have to be accessible through the ALSA framework by applications running on the i.MX6.

Has anyone used UART interfaces on i.MX6 as MIDI ports?

Thanks,

Francesco

Seems that nobody has an experience of using i.MX6 UARTs as MIDI transceivers. Seems that you have to create your own MIDI application using existing UART driver. Note that MIDI protocol has non-standard transfer speed (31.25 kbit/s) and specific hardware interface, so, some external interface circuit is required.
