its not really clear to me, but since i am capable to send data over in
hex, its seems that its enabled and also working on a rate of 300.
Because when i send '\x01\x01' i receive 0x7f7f on the receiver side.
Just to be clear i opened the serial terminal on my tablet as well
(from within fedora running on tablet) at a baudrate of 300.
Could it be that the dts is using the wrong serial device driver?
Are there many different serial drivers for the allwinner a10?
I am using this one:
serial@01c28000 {
compatible = "snps,dw-apb-uart";
reg = <0x1c28000 0x400>;
interrupts = <0x1>;
reg-shift = <0x2>;
reg-io-width = <0x4>;
clocks = <0x3c 0x10>;
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <0x3d>;
};
I might be able to find out which serial device is used in the android
fex files.
