Yes, I have tried like this: &uart4 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart4>; uart-has-rtscts; status = "okay"; }; pinctrl_uart4: uart4grp { fsl,pins = < MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT12__UART4_TX_DATA 0x1b0b1 MX6QDL_PAD_KEY_ROW0__UART4_RX_DATA 0x1b0b1 MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT16__UART4_CTS_B 0x1b0b1 >; }; In this case the DE pin of the rs485 transceiver is always at 0 then RX works and TX does not. Then I tried to use a gpio for controling the rts line: &uart4 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart4>; rts-gpios = <&gpio6 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; status = "okay"; }; pinctrl_uart4: uart4grp { fsl,pins = < MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT12__UART4_TX_DATA 0x1b0b1 MX6QDL_PAD_KEY_ROW0__UART4_RX_DATA 0x1b0b1 MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT16__GPIO6_IO02 0x1b0b1 >; } In this case the DE pin of the rs485 transceiver is always at 1, then TX works and RX does not. So I was never able to observe the DE pin toggling correctly. Maybe you could share your userspace application with me offline?
