This chapter presents general troubleshooting information and a discussion of tools and techniques for troubleshooting serial connections. The chapter consists of the. Serial Communication RS232 Basics. In the previous post, we discussed about the basics of serial communication. In this post, we will learn about the RS232. The Serial ATA bus SATA is the serial version of the IDE ATA spec. SATA uses a 4 conductor cable with two differential pairs TxRx, plus an additional. I bought a few months ago a Beagle. Bone. I wanted to experiment using it those last days in order to get. XBee data from my previous Stalker project. Having a bit of experience with Arduino and Stalker did not help much. The Beagle. Bone is a complete embedded Linux system and you. Arduino although the Node. JS demo is really cool programming via the web browser instead. HPIM1147.JPG' alt='Serial Tx Rx Pins' title='Serial Tx Rx Pins' />Simple things like using the UART the Beagle. Bone has 6 UARTs, but only 4 of them available for your programs did turn out to be a. Hopefully I could find some interesting blog posts explaining how to set them up. Serial Tx Rx Pins' title='Serial Tx Rx Pins' />So in this blog post, I will try to explain how to set up properly UART1 and UART2, and then how to connect an XBee to UART2 there. Internet on how to use UART1, hence my choice to illustrate UART2 usage in order to. Stalker. Understand Beagle. Bone Pins. Beagle. Bone pins can work in different modes there can be up to 8 different modes for a pin. The way to tell the OS how you want to use a pin is called muxing. Usually the first thing you need to do is to locate the UART pins you want to use. The Beagle. Bone System Reference Manual is the place. The relevant section is. Expansion Headers. From there we first need to figure out which pin to use see tables 8 and 1. And then we need to figure out in which mode the pin. This can be seen in the tables 9 and 1. P8 and tables 1. 2 and 1. P9. Some few notes UART0 it is only used for serial debugging, actually going through the USB port next to the power supply plug cant be used. UART3 its pins are not available on the expansion headers cant be easily used by your programs. UART5 only has RX and TX pins no CTS and RTS pins availableIn order to make this simpler, here is below a summary of all pins used by all the Beagle. Bone UARTs and their expected mux mode UARTRXTXCTSRTSUART1. Header P9, Pin 2. Mode 0. Header P9, Pin 2. Mode 0. Header P9, Pin 2. Mode 0. Header P9, Pin 1. Mode 0. UART2. Header P9, Pin 2. Mode 1.

Now that we know which pins are used for each UART and the mode in which each UART pin should be set, we need to tell the OS in. This is usually done by writing a byte value into specific files on the filesystem. So now we need to know which files we need to. We can figure out this information in the tables 9 and 1. Beagle. Bone System Reference Manual. The name of the file follows this rule syskerneldebugomapmuxmode. We now need to figure out which value to write to these files. Those files not only define in which mode to use the pin, but also if it is an input or ouput pin, if we want to use a pullup or. I wont explain much this stuff as this blog post is already rather long. If you want to understand thoses values in detail, please read. Giga. Mega. Blog post section about Serial IO. Again, here is below the relevant information for the UARTs that can be used in your programs UART Pin. Filesystem location. Value hexNotes. UART1 RXsyskerneldebugomapmuxuart. Mode 0 Input.

If you need to configure CTS and RTS feel free to do so as well. Here is below a script for configuring UART1 from the SSH connection on the Beagle. Bone echo 0 syskerneldebugomapmuxuart. UART 1 TX. cat syskerneldebugomapmuxuart. UART 1 RX. cat syskerneldebugomapmuxuart. And the same for UART2 it should now be obvious how to do the same for UART4 and UART5 echo 1 syskerneldebugomapmuxspi. UART 2 TX. cat syskerneldebugomapmuxspi. UART 2 RX. cat syskerneldebugomapmuxspi. Connect the XBee. In order to connect the XBee to the Beagle. Bone, I used a XBee Explorer USB. This is clearly. much more than whats needed. A simple XBee Explorer Regulated is sufficient. Actually all. you need is a way to connect the pins of the XBee to your Beagle. Bone. If you find a cheaper solution, feel free to do so. First of all we need to power the XBee. The XBee expects a 3. V source, hopefully something we easily have on the Beagle. Bone. Pins 1 and 2 on expansion P9 are ground. Pins 3 and 4 are 3. V. Connect GND and VCC to your XBee Explorer. As soon as we connect the GND and VCC pins of the XBee, we can see that the RSSI led turns on when there are. XBee Packets sent on the network. Next we need to connect UART 2 RXTX pins of the Beagle. Bone to the XBee UART2 TX header P9, pin 2. XBee input, usually called DINUART2 RX header P9, pin 2. XBee output, usually called DOUTYou should end up with something similar to this picture. Test the connection. Now it would be nice to actually see the data received on the XBee connected to the Beagle. Bone. In order to do that, we can simply run the minicom program in the Beagle. Bone minicom b 9. D devtty. O2in tty. O2 this is a O and not a zero this is for UART2 obviouslyAs soon as your XBee receives some data, it will be dumped on the console. If you plan instead to send some data to a remote XBee module, then simply write in the console. It will be sent as is to the other. XBee. More Lecture.
