[MinnowBoard] Minnowboard Turbot PCI UART

[Anders, David]

Greetings,

You'll need to make sure that the pin muxing for the uarts on the LSE are set properly in the UEFI setings, and you'll need to make sure you use a recent kernel with the uart driver enabled... there are two UARTS on the LSE to choose from, so make sure understand which one you plan to use and make that one is enabled...

Dave

Hi there.

I haven't used the HSUARTs, so I can't help much there, but I know ttyS0 probably won't work for what you're trying to do. That's the debug UART (6 pin connector next to the SATA connector) and is limited to a 115200 baud.

I believe ttyS2 is the HSUART connected to pins 6/8/10/12 on the LSE, but again I haven't used it so I can't be too much help.

Hi, I'm new here so let me know if I do anything wrong.

I'm trying to use a Minnowboard Turbot for controlling a Bluetooth module via UART.  We are trying to use the PCI UART1 but we aren't seeing the TX pins send any data.

I've tried various settings in the BIOS to enable the serial port.  Regardless, on startup Linux always just shows ttyS0 as an enabled serial port.  Using minicom or just echoing to /dev/ttyS0 does not TX any data (we have an oscope on pin 6).

lspci shows an HSUART controller with no I/O memory and so far I haven't found a way to enable this device, if that is what I should do.

Can someone point me in the right direction, or drag me back to the path?

Thanks!
