* Setup APF28 serial port for RS485 communication:
+
<pre class=apf>
+
# stty -F /dev/ttySP0 raw
+
# stty -F /dev/ttySP0 -echo -echoe -echok
+
# stty -F /dev/ttySP0 rs485
+
</pre>
+
 
+
* Set extra delays for TXEN/RTS signaling before and after the transmitted packet (in microseconds):
+
<pre class=apf>
+
# stty -F /dev/ttySP0 rs485delaybefore 100
+
# stty -F /dev/ttySP0 rs485delayafter 100
+
</pre>
+
 
+
* To get current RS485 parameters. (If the port device supports the RS485 options you will see the last two lines)
+
<pre class=apf>
+
# stty -F /dev/ttySP0

+
rs485delaybefore = 100; rs485delayafter = 100; rs485delaylastchartx = 1250;
+
</pre>
+
Please note:
+
* You can't set the "rs485delaylastchartx" parameter, it's calculated automatically from the baudrate.
+
Special notes for the APF28/iMX28 mxs-auart driver:
+
* All delays are in microseconds.
+
* The "rs485delaylastchartx" parameter is not used in DMA mode.
+
* The parameters: "rs485rtsonsend" "rs485rtsaftersend" "rs485rxduringtx" are not used.
+
* If the RS485 mode is turned on, it will override (turn off) the RTS/CTS hardware flow settings of the uart, don't care what is configured.
+
 
+
=== C code ===
+
* The RS485 mode can be turned on with ioctl calls from C code, here is the example:
+
<source lang="C">
+
#include <stdio.h>
+
#include <fcntl.h>
+
#include <linux/ioctl.h>
+
#include <linux/serial.h>
+
#include <asm-generic/ioctls.h> /* TIOCGRS485 + TIOCSRS485 ioctl definitions */
+
 
+
int main(void) {
+
        struct serial_rs485 rs485conf;
+
 
+
        int fd = open ("/dev/ttySP0", O_RDWR);
+
        if (fd < 0) {
+
                printf("Error: Can't open: /dev/ttySP0\n");
+
        }
+
 
+
 
+
        /* Don't forget to read first the current state of the RS485 options with ioctl.
+
            If You don't do this, You will destroy the rs485conf.delay_rts_last_char_tx
+
            parameter which is automatically calculated by the driver when You opens the
+
            port device. */
+
        if (ioctl (fd, TIOCGRS485, &rs485conf) < 0) {
+
                printf("Error: TIOCGRS485 ioctl not supported.\n");
+
        }
+
 
+
        /* Enable RS485 mode: */
+
        rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_ENABLED;
+
 
+
        /* Set rts/txen delay before send, if needed: (in microseconds) */
+
        rs485conf.delay_rts_before_send = 0;
+
 
+
        /* Set rts/txen delay after send, if needed: (in microseconds) */
+
        rs485conf.delay_rts_after_send = 0;
+
 
+
        if (ioctl (fd, TIOCSRS485, &rs485conf) < 0) {
+
                printf("Error: TIOCSRS485 ioctl not supported.\n");
+
        }
+
 
+
        fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, 0);
+
        int n = write(fd, "ABC\r\n", 5);
+
        if (n < 0) {
+
                /* Error handling */
+
        }
+
 
+
        if (close (fd) < 0) {
+
                printf("Error: Can't close: /dev/ttySP0\n");
+
        }
+
}
+
</source>
+
 
+
=== Hardware Notes ===
+
* The RS485 Transmit Enable (TXEN) output will be the RTS pin of the uart.
+
* The TXEN/RTS output is _active low_, it must be inverted to use it with the popular RS485 transceiver ICs.
+
* When the u-boot runs and the board start to boot, the RTS pin works as input, please add a pullup resistor to this pin before the inverter, to prevent RS485 bus lockups.

About Me

I am IP Network and Datacenter engineer, currently I'm working for an Internet Service Provider in Hungary.

My hobby is programming embedded systems and creating my own small electronic boards.

Skills

  • Assembly programming: PIC 8bit family
  • C programming: PIC 8bit / PIC32MX family, Linux
  • Perl, PHP, Javascript, Html programming with MySQL
  • Linux system administration
  • RS-232/485 serial communications: Ascii, Modbus, Saia Sbus, etc.
  • IP networking

My ArmadeuS plans (APF28 based)

  • Creating an universal home automation hardware for my friends, with easy programming in perl or PHP. :)
  • Datacenter temperature monitoring, with RS-485 and OneWire communications.
  • Data logger for Saia Sbus based intelligent power meters.
