This is my problem, being driven only by userspace means that until you don't open ttyS* from there, dw8250_rs485_config() won't be called and rs485 won't be configured. In the case you have RTS_AFTER_SEND and "linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time" in dts, you need to handle RTS correctly. Without calling: - uart_get_rs485_mode() to collect dts properties and - dw8250_rs485_config() to configure according properties the result is RTS NOT asserted, then pin is HIGH, meaning that rs485 transceiver will be in tx mode until port is open. Other drivers I've watched to for insipiration are: - atmel_serial.c - fsl_lpuart.c - imx.c etc. everything containing uart_get_rs485_mode(). The main difficulty to understand this without a scope is that on rs485.txt documentation the property "rs485-rts-active-low" is described as: "drive RTS low when sending (default is high)" Instead it should report: "de-assert RTS when sending(pin high), default is asserted(pin low)" Maybe I should send a patch for that also. I ended to this conclusion because on every check of RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND RTS is treated this way. Try to take a look at uart_port_dtr_rts() in serial_core.c for example. Or serial8250_em485_rts_after_send() in 8250_port.c What do you think? -- Giulio Benetti CTO MICRONOVA SRL Sede: Via A.
