iMX 91 FRDM UART3 Connection

[sivakami]

hi,

i am using FRDM-imx91, i need to enable UART3 in P11 Connector. i can use that Pin 8 and 9 as GPIO.

root@imx91frdm:~# gpioset --chip gpiochip0 14=0
^C
root@imx91frdm:~# gpioset --chip gpiochip0 14=1
^C
root@imx91frdm:~# gpioset --chip gpiochip0 14=0
^C
root@imx91frdm:~# gpioinfo | grep 14
line 14: unnamed output
line 14: unnamed input
line 14: unnamed input
line 14: unnamed input
line 14: unnamed output consumer=regulator-vdd-12v
root@imx91frdm:~# gpioinfo | grep 15
line 15: unnamed input
line 15: unnamed input
line 15: unnamed input
line 15: unnamed input
line 15: unnamed output
root@imx91frdm:~# killall gpioset
gpioset: no process found
root@imx91frdm:~# gpioinfo | grep 14
line 14: unnamed output
line 14: unnamed input
line 14: unnamed input
line 14: unnamed input
line 14: unnamed output consumer=regulator-vdd-12v
root@imx91frdm:~#
but i couldnot use as UART, i have see as below ttyLP*
root@imx91frdm:~# dmesg | grep ttyLP

How to send data in UART?

Hi @sivakami,

Thank you for contacting NXP Support.

UART3 is not enabled by default on this platform. To enable it, you must modify the original device tree to include the UART3 node.

I have attached a modified device tree that enables UART3 for the FRDM board.
Please follow the procedure below to compile and flash the updated device tree, after which UART3 will be available for use.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let us know.
