- Atmel Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART)
Required properties:
- compatible: Should be “atmel,
-usart” or “atmel, -dbgu”
The compatibleindicated will be the first SoC to support an
additional mode or an USART new feature.
For the dbgu UART, use “atmel,-dbgu”, “atmel, -usart” - reg: Should contain registers location and length
- interrupts: Should contain interrupt
- clock-names: tuple listing input clock names.
Required elements: “usart” - clocks: phandles to input clocks.
Optional properties:
- atmel,use-dma-rx: use of PDC or DMA for receiving data
- atmel,use-dma-tx: use of PDC or DMA for transmitting data
- {rts,cts,dtr,dsr,rng,dcd}-gpios: specify a GPIO for RTS/CTS/DTR/DSR/RI/DCD line respectively.
It will use specified PIO instead of the peripheral function pin for the USART feature.
If unsure, don’t specify this property. - add dma bindings for dma transfer:
- dmas: DMA specifier, consisting of a phandle to DMA controller node,
memory peripheral interface and USART DMA channel ID, FIFO configuration.
Refer to dma.txt and atmel-dma.txt for details. - dma-names: “rx” for RX channel, “tx” for TX channel.
- dmas: DMA specifier, consisting of a phandle to DMA controller node,
- atmel,fifo-size: maximum number of data the RX and TX FIFOs can store for FIFO
capable USARTs. - rs485-rts-delay, rs485-rx-during-tx, linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time: see rs485.txt

Example:
use PDC:
usart0: serial@fff8c000 {compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-usart"; reg = <0xfff8c000 0x4000>; interrupts = <7>; clocks = <&usart0_clk>; clock-names = "usart"; atmel,use-dma-rx; atmel,use-dma-tx; rts-gpios = <&pioD 15 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; cts-gpios = <&pioD 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; dtr-gpios = <&pioD 17 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; dsr-gpios = <&pioD 18 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; dcd-gpios = <&pioD 20 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; rng-gpios = <&pioD 19 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
};
use DMA:
usart0: serial@f001c000 {compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-usart"; reg = <0xf001c000 0x100>; interrupts = <12 4 5>; clocks = <&usart0_clk>; clock-names = "usart"; atmel,use-dma-rx; atmel,use-dma-tx; dmas = <&dma0 2 0x3>, <&dma0 2 0x204>; dma-names = "tx", "rx"; atmel,fifo-size = <32>;
};
