UART1 or ttyS1 not working Armbian 22.08.8 Buster with Linux 5.15.74-sunxi Orange Pi One

[skem5]

HI,

 

I am hoing someone can help. I cannot seem to get UART1 working on Orange Pi1. Uart2 and Uart3 are working just fine. Everything indicates that the port is enables on the module but there is no actual data being sent out of PINs 38 and 40.

 

Verifying that the port is enabled

I have tried different boards and i still cant get it to communicate on UART1

[Guest]

Hello,

I am trying to do the same thing...

UART1 on OrangePi Zero v1.4 connected to this board... I even tried RaspberryPi zero but got merely garbage characters or nothing at all either.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002791042317.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.3e081802uhgin9

I made sure multiple times that the GND is connected to GND, TX to RX and RX to TX, there is 3.3V across them... but yea nothing out of it 😕

I am trying to connect to the board using "minicom" app ... bitrate at 115200, 8bits, 1 stop bit..

Anyone has any idea please?

Running Jeedom under ARMBIAN 23.02.2 Buster with Linux 5.15.93-sunxi on Orange Pi PC+ for 2 years I suddenly met the problem just after the upgrade/update of Linux.

I've check TTYS0 input. RS232 frames from my Power Meter 5Linky, I'm living in France) are OK.

I tought my SOC or Linux Armbian is down. You gave me the answer.

We just have to wait for next Armbian release, I beg.

Cheers.
