Finding out the serial ports


Armate

Recommended Posts

I have Rock Pi S V13, that has 4 UART ports.

I'm already connecting to the board via serial console on /dev/ttyS0.

 

How can I find out what are the other ports assignments/paths?

 

I have tried to use a Python script to detect the output by using an FTDI to USB board with no luck (the voltage and baudrate are correct).

The Python script taken from manual:


 

import serial
import time

# I've tried /dev/ttyS2 and /dev/ttyS4
ser = serial.Serial(port='/dev/ttyS4', baudrate=115200, timeout=0.1)
print(ser.name)

try:
        while True:
                ser.write(b'hello')
                time.sleep(0.5)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
        ser.close()
