Re: Enabling Raspberry Pi 4B Uarts, specifically uart3

Fred, This is my /boot/loader.conf. After rebooting, no change and no data on uart3. BTW, FreeBSD does not create a /dev/ttyU1. From the config.txt with dtoverlay=uart3, FreeBSD creates a /dev/ttyu1 ucom_load="YES" umodem_load="YES" usb_template_load="YES" hw.usb.template=3 umodem_load="YES" umodem_load="YES" # Multiple console (serial+efi gop) enabled. boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" # Disable the beastie menu and color beastie_disable="YES" loader_color="NO" kern.vty=vt gpiopps_load="YES"This is my /boot/loader.conf: /boot/msdos/config.txt: cat msdos/config.txt: [all] arm_64bit=1 dtparam=audio=on,i2c_arm=on,spi=on dtoverlay=mmc dtoverlay=disable-bt device_tree_address=0x4000 kernel=u-boot.bin dtoverlay=pps-gpio,gpiopin=18 dtoverlay=uart3 enable_uart=1 [pi4] # hdmi_safe=1 armstub=armstub8-gic.bin # dmesg|grep uart uart0: <PrimeCell UART (PL011)> mem 0x7e201000-0x7e2011ff irq 16 on simplebus0 uart0: console (115200,n,8,1) uart1: <PrimeCell UART (PL011)> mem 0x7e201600-0x7e2017ff irq 43 on simplebus0 The memory address 0x7e201600 corresponds to that assigned to uart3 in: src/freebsd-src/sys/contrib/device-tree/src/arm/bcm2711.dtsi Still no data seen thanks John Rushford > On Jan 24, 2023, at 6:09 AM, Fred Finster <fred@thegalacticzoo.com> wrote: > > */ > /* > > */From:/*<bugzilla-noreply_at_freebsd.org> > */Date:/*Sun, 22 Jan 2023 21:36:36 UTC > > https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269104 > > Bug ID: 269104 > Summary: The uarts2 - uarts5 do not function on raspberry pi 4B > Product: Base System > Version: 13.1-RELEASE > Hardware: arm64 > OS: Any > Status: New > Severity: Affects Only Me > Priority: --- > Component: arm > Assignee: freebsd-arm@FreeBSD.org > Reporter: jjrushford@gmail.com > > I’ve tried using the additional serial ports that are available with a > raspberry pi 4B by enabling them in config.txt and when I try to read data on > them, I see nothing. > > Specifically, I’ve wired an Adafruit ultimate GPS to uart3, gpio pins 4 and 5. > I’ve built the RPI-firmware port and copied the uart0-5 dtb’s to > /boot/msdos/overlays.

On a Pi4, UART2-5 are additional PL011s that also appear as ttyAMA<n>. The number starts at 0 for the first enabled PL011 and counts up through all the enabled interfaces. The numbering is stable for any given combination of UARTs, but enabling or disabling one can change the number assignments of others. > > /PL011 appear to FreeBSD/*as /dev/ttyUx So I wonder if one has to enable ucom and umodem and usb_template to view serial data comming back over what looks like a USB to serial interface?
