Tim,

What you have shown looks OK. Can you share your entire device tree file ? Nathan has access to our private project if you prefer to post the information there. You could also share your boot log and the output of cat /proc/tty/driver/serial.

Thanks,

I'm not sure why but it seems like setting the serial alias is required.

8250_omap.c:

    ret = of_alias_get_id(np, "serial");
    if (ret < 0) {
        dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get alias\n");
        return ret;
    }

There are currently several serial aliases set in the k3-am62x-mitysom-som.dtsi file, I'd recommend skipping a few numbers to prevent conflicts in the future if more serial aliases are added.

    aliases {
        serial0 = &mcu_uart0;
        serial1 = &wkup_uart0;
        serial2 = &main_uart0;
...

Example of adding the alias

diff --git a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti/k3-am62x-mitysom-devkit.dts b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti/k3-am62x-mitysom-devkit.dts

+       };

        vcc_12v: vcc_12v {

Then the port will show up as ttyS10 since we set the alias to serial5

root@mitysom-am62x:~# dmesg | grep serial

Bob,

Thanks for the response. I was getting ready to reply saying that I was able to get it working. Here is what I did in case it helps others.

1. Removed the previous mapping of the pins we wanted to use for UART2. There were being muxed as GPIO pins.
   AM62X_IOPAD(0x01d0, PIN_INPUT_PULLDOWN, 7) /* (A15) UART0_CTSn.GPIO1_22 */

   AM62X_IOPAD(0x01d4, PIN_INPUT_PULLDOWN, 7) /* (B15) UART0_RTSn.GPIO1_23 */

2. Muxed the pins to be part of UART2.
   

   main_uart2_pins: main-uart2-pins {
       pinctrl-single,pins = <
           AM62X_IOPAD(0x1d4, PIN_OUTPUT, 3) /* (B15) UART2_TXD Console */
           AM62X_IOPAD(0x1d0, PIN_INPUT, 3) /* (A15) UART2_RXD Console */
       >;
   };
   

3. Altered main_uart2 to use the pins that were repurposed and to enable it.
   

   &main_uart2 {
       pinctrl-names = "default";
       pinctrl-0 = <&main_uart2_pins>;
       status = "okay";
   };
   

4. Added an alias for uart2 (this is what I missing in my original question). This serial port will now be at /dev/ttyS4 (I would have used "serial2" but it was being used by something else).
   

   &{/} {
       aliases {
         serial4 = &main_uart2;
       };
   };
   

Jonathan,

Thanks for the additional info. I didn't see your response before I submitted mine. However, it looks like we are on the same page with the solution.

Tim

Yup looks good
