Low speed uart on blsp1_uart0?

Products Support DragonBoard 820c
#1

Hi Guys,

I’m trying to setup blsp1_uart0(GPIO0 & GPIO1) as serial.

cat /proc/device-tree/aliases/serial3 
/soc/serial@756f000

cat /sys/bus/platform/devices/756f000.serial/uevent 
OF_NAME=serial
OF_FULLNAME=/soc/serial@756f000
OF_COMPATIBLE_0=qcom,msm-uartdm-v1.4

OF_COMPATIBLE_N=2
OF_ALIAS_0=serial3

I have verified blsp1_qup0 as I2C & SPI. Now i’m trying to verify blsp1_uart0. blsp1_uart0 is not getting registered with msm_serial driver & i don’t see any device node.

question: BLSP1_UART0 is reserved by proprietary binary from access?

Could you provide changes you applied in the device tree so we can check?

update:

I think issue is in driver side(drivers/tty/serial/msm_serial.c).

In probe:

if (unlikely(line < 0 || line >= UART_NR))
return -ENXIO;

UART_NR array_size is limited to three serial port. so fourth port fails.

static struct msm_port msm_uart_ports[] = {
{

#define UART_NR ARRAY_SIZE(msm_uart_ports)

[ 5.343010] msm_serial 756f000.serial: msm_serial: detected port #3
[ 5.343093] msm_serial 756f000.serial: uartclk = 19200000
[ 5.343196] msm_serial: probe of 756f000.serial failed with error -22

I will debug from my side.

provide input why serial port limited to three. correct me if i’m wrong.

#5

Following code change in driver fixed the issue.(/dev/ttyMSM3)

drivers/tty/serial/msm_serial.c

static struct msm_port msm_uart_ports[] = {
                        .line = 2,
                },
        },
      +{
               +.uart = {
                       +.iotype = UPIO_MEM,
                       +.ops = &msm_uart_pops,
                       +.flags = UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF,
                       +.fifosize = 64,
                       +.line = 3,
               +},
      +},
#6

Yes this looks like old legacy code which needs to be fixed, as a quick fix you can try to add a fourth port.

#7

Great!

I assume we should change this to dynamic alloc.
