I wan't to enable the mini UART on a CM3 for Linux console access in emergency cases. The full UART will be used for other purposes.
With a newly flashed CM3 I can access the Linux console using GPIO14/15.
On the system this is /dev/ttyAMA0
.
I have done the following steps:
Disabled the system service:
systemctl disable hciuart
Edit
/boot/cmdline.txt
by removingconsole=/dev/ttyAMA0,115200
The plan is to later addconsole=/dev/ttyS0,115200
Add these lines to
/boot/config.txt
dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt
enable_uart=1
core_freq=250Reboot
After the reboot I connect using ssh.
Inside I can't find /dev/ttyS0
Is the mini UART a viable option for emergency access to the Linux console?
What can I do to enable the mini UART?
What GPIO/pins will each UART appear on? GPIO14/15 vs GPIO32/33
