+* RS485 serial communications
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The RTS signal is capable of automatically controlling line direction for
|
|
|
+the built-in half-duplex mode.
|
|
|
+The properties described hereafter shall be given to a half-duplex capable
|
|
|
+UART node.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Required properties:
|
|
|
+- rs485-rts-delay: prop-encoded-array <a b> where:
|
|
|
+ * a is the delay beteween rts signal and beginning of data sent in milliseconds.
|
|
|
+ it corresponds to the delay before sending data.
|
|
|
+ * b is the delay between end of data sent and rts signal in milliseconds
|
|
|
+ it corresponds to the delay after sending data and actual release of the line.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Optional properties:
|
|
|
+- linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time: empty property telling to enable the rs485
|
|
|
+ feature at boot time. It can be disabled later with proper ioctl.
|
|
|
+- rs485-rx-during-tx: empty property that enables the receiving of data even
|
|
|
+ whilst sending data.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+RS485 example for Atmel USART:
|
|
|
+ usart0: serial@fff8c000 {
|
|
|
+ compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-usart";
|
|
|
+ reg = <0xfff8c000 0x4000>;
|
|
|
+ interrupts = <7>;
|
|
|
+ atmel,use-dma-rx;
|
|
|
+ atmel,use-dma-tx;
|
|
|
+ linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time;
|
|
|
+ rs485-rts-delay = <0 200>; // in milliseconds
|
|
|
+ };
