iMX8MQ ECSPI2 pins not working as UART4

Hi,

Release: Yocto-Morty (4.9.51_GA)

Board: i.MX8MQ based custom board

I want to use iMX8MQ ECSPI2 pins as full UART4 and I have used configured pinmux as below in dts file.

pinctrl_uart4: uart4grp {                                               
            fsl,pins = <                                                        
                MX8MQ_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_MISO_UART4_DCE_CTS_B 0x49                   
                MX8MQ_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_MOSI_UART4_DTE_RX    0x49                   
                MX8MQ_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_SCLK_UART4_DTE_TX    0x49                   
                MX8MQ_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_SS0_UART4_DCE_RTS_B  0x49                   
            >;                                                                  
        };   

&uart4 {                                                
    pinctrl-names = "default";                                                  
    pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart4>;                      
    assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MQ_CLK_UART4_SRC>;                              
    assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MQ_CLK_25M>;                             
    fsl,uart-has-rtscts;                                                        
    status = "okay";                                                            
};

But I am unable to use it as UART4. When I read registers using devmem2 utility, there are UART4 TX & RX pins configure as a GPIOs instead of TX/RX. RTS/CTS pins configured correctly.

root@imx8mqpicoitx:~#

Is there any other configuration required to use it as a UART?

Best regards,

Hello,

Just to know. Have you reviewed if you are not porting the UART4 RX/TX into another port?

For example.

MX8MQ_IOMUXC_UART4_RXD_UART4_DTE_TX and MX8MQ_IOMUXC_UART4_TXD_UART4_DCE_TX

Best regards,

Diego.

Hello Diego Adrian Cuevas,

Thanks for your response.

This issue is resolved now as there is a mistake in hardware design and pins getting conflicted.

So, it remains in default state which is as GPIO.

Best regards,

Nirmal
