Hello,

I need to use gprs modem with ppp over uart0, but something blocks the communication. The uart0 runs well over minicom, but not over ppp. When I use another uart, the ppp runs well. But I have to use uart0. The uart0 is set like debug port in u-boot and I think, that this is the reason. I don't know how to disable it.

 

Maybe disable CONFIG_REQUIRE_SERIAL_CONSOLE in u-boot config file ?

 

Thank you

I don't know if it's exact reason but it seems that uart0 is used for login. To disable - delete /etc/init/ttyS0.conf and reboot (or kill running process).

No getty daemon runs on uart0. Minicom runs well, so it measn, that no process holds the uart0.

 I was looking through  sun8i-h3-orangepi-pc.dts today and saw this string

aliases {

serial0 = &uart0;

};

 

chosen {

stdout-path = "serial0:115200n8";

};

It looks like uart0 is used for boot console output . You could try to delete it.
