Difference between revisions of "UARTs"

Revision as of 14:46, 14 March 2008

• Logic level (3.3V) signals
• FFUART speeds to 230 kbps (normally mapped to ttyS0 in the kernel and Y0 in some schematics )
• HWUART speeds to 921 kbps (normally mapped to ttyS3 in the kernel and Y1 in some schematics)
• Both can use RxD, TxD, RTS, CTS.
• STUART speeds to 230 kbps (normally mapped to ttyS2)
• BTUART is not an exposed interface; mapped to ttyS1 by the kernel and connected physically to the bluetooth module if one is present.

• Note! Current kernels use ttyS3 (HWUART) for bluetooth. This is available on the BTUART pins by setting GPIO42 and 43 to AF3 - and this is the default configuration. This can be very confusing if you want to use the HWUART for something else! To re-enable HWUART on ttyS3, make bluetooth use ttyS1 (see /etc/default/bluetooth) and then set GPIO42 to AF1 in and GPIO43 to AF2 out. You can then set GPIO48 to AF1 out (HWUART TXD) and GPIO49 to AF1 in (HWUART RXD).

UARTs

FFUART

• Logic level (3.3V) signals
• Speeds to 230 kbps
• Normally mapped to ttyS0 in the kernel and Y0 in some schematics
• FFUART pins are located on the 60-pin Hirose connector

HWUART

• Logic level (3.3V) signals
• Speeds to 921 kbps
• Normally mapped to ttyS3 in the kernel and Y1 in some schematics
• HWUART pins are located on the 60-pin Hirose (Connex and Basix only)

STUART

BTUART

• BTUART pins are located on the 60-pin Hirose and 24-pin flex ribbon (Verdex only) connectors.
• It is not an exposed interface; mapped to ttyS1 by the kernel and connected physically to the bluetooth module if one is present.
