Hello, I came across this tutorial on configuration for RS-485 serial communication, but I am new to this and I need some clarifications on the procedure.
My beaglebone black is currently running on the latest Debian image > > Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone70 #1 SMP Fri Jan 23 02:15:42 UTC 2015 armv7l > GNU/Linux On the website http://inspire.logicsupply.com/2014/09/beaglebone-rs-485-communication.html Let's dive into the Kernel a bit to to see how RS-485 works in Linux; the > standard steps to put a UART into RS-485 mode are: > > 1. Open the special tty file > 2. Create a serial_rs485 struct and set the desired configuration > values > 3. Pass the configured struct to Kernel driver by using ioctl > <http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioctl.2.html> on the open serial > port file descriptor > > I don't understand do these steps, where do I find the special tty file and as well as creating the serial_rs485 struct. Can someone guide me through this part?
