BananaPi AllWinner A20 - Enable UART/Serial

Hi all,

I've a bananapi 1 and would like to follow this guide to attach to my board directly a Zigbee device CC2530+CC2591: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/connecting_cc2530.html#wiring-cc2530-to-the-raspberry

Then, I've connected it using exactly the same schema, which should be the same on BananaPi, based on http://wiki.lemaker.org/File:Banana_Pro_CON6_Definetion.png

 

VCC -> 3,3V (Pin1)
GND -> GND (Pin6)
P02 -> TXD (Pin8)
P03 -> RXD (Pin10)

Then, I've tried to connect to serial via minicom:

 

minicom -b 115200 -o -D /dev/ttyS2

 

BTW I'm not getting any info from the device, so what I'm doing wrong?

I've then enabled via armbian-config the UART2 and rebooted, but nothing changed.

Previously this device was attached on an ESP8266 and was working, so I think it's not a device option.

 

Could someone help me?

 

Many thanks!

 

Simon

Check "dmesg | grep tty" because, for example, if UART1 is not enabled, then UART2 will be assigned to /dev/ttyS1 not S2 ...

Hello,

 

Could this help?

I've tried all serial ports manually, no luck.

 

Thanks!
