I just did the experiment with your configuration and the rs485conf tool you mentioned. But still, no luck :( What's the revision of the i.MX6Q on your board? Mine is 1.5 (TO 1.3) Another example: If I run the following on the board.. while true; do echo ABCDEFGHIJKLM > /dev/ttymxc4 sleep 0.5 echo abc > /dev/ttymxc4 > /dev/ttymxc4 sleep 0.5 done Many transmits contain garbled (doubled and sometimes also extended to a length of 4096 bytes, containing zeros) data. I can see a few transmissions that are sent correctly, though. Interesting side note: With the following patch, the problems disappear: diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c b/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c index 451e50f6d77a..eb9f0ce6c34a 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c @@ -1270,8 +1270,10 @@ static int imx_startup(struct uart_port *port) writel(temp & ~UCR4_DREN, sport->port.membase + UCR4); /* Can we enable the DMA support? */ +#if 0 if (!uart_console(port) && !sport->dma_is_inited) imx_uart_dma_init(sport); +#endif spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock, flags); /* Reset fifo's and state machines */ -- Regards, Clemens
