- UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)
Required properties:
- compatible : one of:
- “ns8250”
- “ns16450”
- “ns16550a”
- “ns16550”
- “ns16750”
- “ns16850”
- For Tegra20, must contain “nvidia,tegra20-uart”
- For other Tegra, must contain ‘“nvidia,
-uart”,
“nvidia,tegra20-uart”‘ whereis tegra30, tegra114, tegra124,
tegra132, or tegra210. - “nxp,lpc3220-uart”
- “ralink,rt2880-uart”
- For MediaTek BTIF, must contain ‘“mediatek,
-btif”,
“mediatek,mtk-btif”‘ whereis mt7622, mt7623. - “altr,16550-FIFO32”
- “altr,16550-FIFO64”
- “altr,16550-FIFO128”
- “fsl,16550-FIFO64”
- “fsl,ns16550”
- “ti,da830-uart”
- “aspeed,ast2400-vuart”
- “aspeed,ast2500-vuart”
- “nuvoton,npcm750-uart”
- “serial” if the port type is unknown.
- reg : offset and length of the register set for the device.
- interrupts : should contain uart interrupt.
- clock-frequency : the input clock frequency for the UART
or
clocks phandle to refer to the clk used as per Documentation/devicetree
/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt
Optional properties:
- current-speed : the current active speed of the UART.
- reg-offset : offset to apply to the mapbase from the start of the registers.
- reg-shift : quantity to shift the register offsets by.
- reg-io-width : the size (in bytes) of the IO accesses that should be
performed on the device. There are some systems that require 32-bit
accesses to the UART (e.g. TI davinci). - used-by-rtas : set to indicate that the port is in use by the OpenFirmware
RTAS and should not be registered. - no-loopback-test: set to indicate that the port does not implements loopback
test mode - fifo-size: the fifo size of the UART.
- auto-flow-control: one way to enable automatic flow control support. The
driver is allowed to detect support for the capability even without this
property. - tx-threshold: Specify the TX FIFO low water indication for parts with
programmable TX FIFO thresholds. - resets : phandle + reset specifier pairs
Note:
fsl,ns16550:
Freescale DUART is very similar to the PC16552D (and to a
pair of NS16550A), albeit with some nonstandard behavior such as
erratum A-004737 (relating to incorrect BRK handling).Represents a single port that is compatible with the DUART found
on many Freescale chips (examples include mpc8349, mpc8548,
mpc8641d, p4080 and ls2085a).
Example:
uart@80230000 {
compatible = "ns8250";
reg = <0x80230000 0x100>;
clock-frequency = <3686400>;
interrupts = <10>;
reg-shift = <2>;
};
