Issues with TTY with RPI 3 / Debian Jessie DV-Mega #85

Closed majorgearhead closed 8 years ago

majorgearhead commented 8 years ago

I have successfully compiled the DStarRepeater and ircDDBGateway code on my RPI 3 with fresh Raspbian (Debian Jessie) installed. I am running into a bit of a TTY issue. I understand that with the NEW HW ttyAMA0 is being utilized by the Bluetooth modules. Seems like GPIO is assigned ttyS0, which has a getty setup on it. Here is what I did to be able to communicate with my DV-Mega (Disable this getty unit): sudo systemctl stop serial-getty@ttyS0.service sudo systemctl disable serial-getty@ttyS0.service sudo systemctl mask serial-getty@ttyS0.service

This was enough to get it communicating with the board. My issue is this. ircDDBGateway connects to DstarRepeater and also out to the various services. I can issue remote commands and it links, however it will not send RF. I know this is more a dev thread and not a support thread, but has anyone been able to compile this on an RPI Under Debian Jessie and have it work with the DV-MEGA?

Looks like things work when I disable all of bluetooth and use the ttyAMA0 as normal. Testing clean right now to make sure of this.

That is correct ... bluetooth must be disabled to use the GPIO serial port.

Thanks for the confirmation. In case anyone else is interested, here is how I disabled it:

sudo systemctl stop bluetooth
sudo systemctl stop hciuart
sudo systemctl disable bluetooth
sudo systemctl disable hciuart

Then I added the following to /boot/config.txt

dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt

Then I removed the console=serial0,115000 line from /boot/cmdline.txt

Everything works great.
