No, I use the original 4.9 + the two patches I sent. Yes, I do use the
SDMA scripts from ROM.

Here is the procedure I did to try to reproduce the issue you reported:

(The rs485conf is available at:
https://github.com/mniestroj/rs485conf/blob/master/main.c )

First of all I enable rs485 for ttymxc3 using the rs485conf application:

root@imx6qsabresd:/home# ./rs485conf  /dev/ttymxc3 -e 1
[   27.106517] random: crng init done
= Current configuration:
RS485 enabled:                false
RTS on send:                  high
RTS after send:               low
RTS delay before send:        0
RTS delay after send:         0
Receive during sending data:  true

= New configuration:
RS485 enabled:                true
RTS on send:                  high
RTS after send:               low
RTS delay before send:        0
RTS delay after send:         0
Receive during sending data:  true

= Saved configuration:
RS485 enabled:                true
RTS on send:                  high
RTS after send:               low
RTS delay before send:        0
RTS delay after send:         0
Receive during sending data:  true
root@imx6qsabresd:/ho

Then

root@imx6qsabresd:/home# echo A > /dev/ttymxc3

(wait 10 seconds)

root@imx6qsabresd:/home# echo B > /dev/ttymxc3

(wait 10 seconds)

root@imx6qsabresd:/home# echo C > /dev/ttymxc3

On the serial console at 9600bps only the:
A
B
C

are seen, so not duplicated characters, nor noise is seen on the console.

Fabio Estevam
