I wrote a small script to use the GPIO config stuff for the TTYS3 on the Console board which contains: modprobe proc_gpio #setup the serial pins for serial comm echo "AF1 out" > /proc/gpio/GPIO48 echo "AF1 in" > /proc/gpio/GPIO49 echo "AF1 in" > /proc/gpio/GPIO50 echo "AF1 out" > /proc/gpio/GPIO51 #i think take BT module and disable it as it uses same port for i in 42 43 44 45; do echo GPIO in > /proc/gpio/GPIO$i;done done And after running this and setting up port with: #stty -F /dev/ttyS3 9600 raw onlcr The port does not seem to work as I have a device plugged in which spits out the data to another computer (Maxstream modem), and using: echo "read me" >> /dev/sttyS3 nothing comes out the other end. I have searched everywhere for help on this and seem to be stuck, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Regardless of anything else, you should try (echo "read me"; sleep 1) > /dev/ttyS3 The former might not work even if everything else was setup properly. I would also make sure that you eliminate the MaxStream out of the equation for the timer being, and connect it to a PC running a terminal program. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

Hi, I tried (echo "read me"; sleep 1) > /dev/ttyS3 And it still gave nothing, I also found that you need to change which port the bluetooth runs on (i went into /etc/default/bluetooth and changed it to ttyS1) and retried again and still no output. The second serial port is hooked up to a laptop using Hyperterminal elminating the maxstream for the moment. Hopefully you have more ideas :) thanks for the help. Travis I also tried to reconfigure the serial port using another line I found posted online stty -F /dev/ttyS3 -ixon speed 9600 This also did nothing, and some times when I send the echo command it sits there and thinks for 10-15 seconds before bringing up the next line (#).

Hi Anil, > where are the entries of bootdelay stored and how can they be retrieved .I > mean are they stored in any text file. Sorry - it's not stored in a text file. It's a u-boot environment variable. You can examine the u-boot variables from linux using the fw_printenv program. You can also set the variables using fw_setenv, although you run the risk of damaging u-boot if the version of fw_setenv doesn't match up with the u-boot being used. I'm not sure how often this type of mismatch might occur, but I'd proceed carefully. I prefer to modify u-boot variables using u-boot, which involves pressing a key on the console during the 3-second countdown during the initial bootup. You can examine the variables using: printenv and set the variable using setenv bootdelay 10 -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

If you network connectivity, then you can sync up the gumstix time using NTP.

Hi Travis, > No it doesnt have bluetooth, its the cheaper 400 MHz one, and im using > buildroot 1161 that I just got working this morning. OK - I flashed 1161 onto my basix (with console-HW), and did the following from the gumstix: rm /etc/init.d/S30bluetooth reboot Then I was able to do: modprobe proc_gpio echo "AF1 out" > /proc/gpio/GPIO48 echo "AF1 in" > /proc/gpio/GPIO49 and ran: sertest -p ttyS3 -b 115200 and it worked fine with my terminal program. I then rebooted and tried modprobe proc_gpio echo "AF1 out" > /proc/gpio/GPIO48 echo "AF1 in" > /proc/gpio/GPIO49 stty -F /dev/ttyS3 115200 echo "test" > /dev.ttyS3 and that worked as well. Finally, I rebooted and tried modprobe proc_gpio echo "AF1 out" > /proc/gpio/GPIO48 echo "AF1 in" > /proc/gpio/GPIO49 echo "test" > /dev.ttyS3 (so I left out the call to stty - so it was using its default of 9600 baud) and that worked fine as well. For all of the tests I was using a null-modem cable plugged in the HWUART port. P.S. To double check and make sure it's a HWUART board, you should see 2 small ICs (about 1/4 the size of the connector), once near each connector. If you only have a single IC, then its a STUART board. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

Thank you SO much, it finally worked. I didn't remove the bluetooth file and I'm pretty sure that is where the problem was. Thanks again I really appreciate the work, I can finally get to work on some thesis work.

Hi Dave, I did the exact steps you told about configuring the second serial on basix. I had made a gprs connection scriptthat links to my isp . It works fine when i try to connect with the ttyS0 .but wen i change ttyS0 to ttyS3 , i could not connect through dat.

You can use a command like: stty -F /dev/ttyS3 115200 to change the baud rate (before you open the port).
