Uart communication with A603 carrier

Hello

I have Jetson Tx2 attached to A603 carrier
I tried to send and receive through uart pins and I got nothing.

I have also Orin development kit and I can send and receive without a problem without special configurations.

Can you please help me to understand what should I do?, any configurations?

Thank you

Hello @idanhersco,

What UART pins are you using?

According to this post, there are multiple UART ports on that carrier board. And you might be able to use UART 2 which are at pins 8 and 10.

Thank you Andrew
I tried to use pin 8,10 on W8 connector and it is not working
Any other ideas?

@idanhersco,

When you say is not working, do you mean that you are getting no output at all, or weird output ?

Also, what cable are you using to connect to uart ?

I mean that I use scope and see that data goes the Rx pin and no data goes out from the A603.

The cable are standard, I’m using the same cables for the development kit and it works well

Hi idanhersco,

What’s your Jetpack version in use for TX2?

Please share the result of the following command on your board.

$ cat /etc/nv_tegra_release
$ cat /etc/nv_boot_control.conf

and also, the full dmesg for further check.
