hello I have a module of teleinformation on my GPIO port which must work on the UART 3 but I do not know at all how to configure it and it does not work, could you help me? I am under armbian 5.90.

here is the link to my telinformation module:

PiTinfo

 

thank you in advance for your help

Mainline or Legacy ?

With Mainline, you simply need to add DT overlay in /boot/armbianEnv.txt by adding the line "overlays=uart3", save and then reboot...

 

I do not know how to find out?

You mean "how to find out kernel version" ?

Use "uname -a" ...

Good ! So the DT overlay recipe I've explained above is the way to go ...

ok, on what /dev/tty is uart 3 connected?

Should be on /dev/ttyS3, but you can verify once booted with "dmesg | grep tty" ...

Oh ! A bit strange : it seems that all uarts are enabled ...

Did you added DT overlays for all of them, ie "overlays=uart1 uart2 uart3" ?

If not, maybe they were already enabled in the Main DT ...

maybe by test with armbian-config, but I failed to market my module.  I must also apply this configuration but I do not know how to do it :  -b 1200 -d 7 -p e -f n

So, what do you see on the "overlays=" line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt ?

Keep only "uart3" there, and maybe remove the others ...

This is arguments for picocom, so : "picocom -b 1200 -d 7 -p e -f n /dev/ttyS3"

yes but i have not result, I should have something like this :

But this small PiTInfo board is only an optocoupler interface to UART3.

What hardware do you have on the optocoupler side named "teleinfo" ?

It is this hardware that should provide serial output, maybe this "teleinfo" is not working ...

 

it's my electric meter, the teleinfo works correctly with another device but is not updated any more, so I have to make it work to have some more informations

In this case, maybe this PiTInfo board is defective ...

To make sure the UART3 itself is working fine, remove that PiTInfo board and simply put a loopback wire between TX/RX pins.

Then, with the same "picocom" command, you should be able to type some keystrokes and seeing been echoed to the screen.

That will prove that UART3 is working fine !

with a wire between tx and rx and with this command :

picocom -b 1200 -d 7 -p e -f n /dev/ttyS3

nothing happens I have the same thing as before

Do you have any keystroke echoed while typing something ?

If not, maybe uart3 is defective.

Oh ! I've bring out my own BPi-M2-Plus out of the dust of one of my drawers ...

I've gave it a try and figured out something funny : although the schematic says that pin 8 and pin 10 are on UART3, it is actual wrong, doing the loopback wire test, it is on UART2 !

So, schematic is wrong !!!

EDIT : Sorry, it is on UART3, but when DT overlay is loaded it goes into /dev/ttyS2 ...

i'm sorry i'm a noob and i'm french i don't understand what i have to doo ?

Make sure you have only "overlays=uart3" in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and reboot.

The UART3 should be there as /dev/ttyS2.

 

Yes i have only uart3 and thé result is the previous post

It doesn't make sense ... Redo "dmesg | grep tty" and try all seen tty one by one with loopback wire.

i do the test for my 2 bpi m2+, on the first and after a fresh install, dmesg | grep tty tel me this :

I this : picocom -b 1200 -d 7 -p e -f n /dev/ttyS2 for ttyS0, ttyS1 and ttyS3 same result as before.

 

on my second bpi m2+, with a fresh install too, the command : dmesg | grep tty do not give me anything. 

F***ing bananas !!!!

Why with mine it worked on first trial ?

i don't know, witch version of armbian are you ? on buster ? I just doo the test with a RPI 3 a friend gave me for test and its working perfectly. I'll try with armbian on stretch 

I found this can this help?

do you think this can come from a right problem on port uart3 ?
