Hello Sugang,

Can you try the pins PA23(RX pin) and PA22(TX pin)?
PA04 and PA05 share the same UART with the shell.

I hope this helps.

Best,
Cenk

Hi Oleg,

Sorry that I come back to this question so late. After a few trials, I still have the following concerns: 1. I am using SAM R21 board for the border_router examples, and I can shell into the RIOT from both USB debug port and UART port (PIN: PA04 and PA05). When I connect two cable at the same time, and use tunslip tool to setup a IPV6 slip interface over UART port, the shell (USB debug port )dose not reply to any command, such as ps and ifconfig, if I unplug the UART port, the shell works fine. Is this the multiplexing concerns that you mentioned? If yes, how can I add a second USB-to-UART adapter since there is only one interface on board(PA04 and PA05)? 2. If I only use one port (either USB or UART) for slip, from Linux side, I got no ping6 reponse from the address of the RIOT node. I followed the steps in gnrc_border_router example to configure the RIOT node, and made sure the state maintained.

Thanks,

Sugang


Hi!

In general, yes, you can use SLIP [1]. In order to do so, please take a look
at the border router example [2]. In particular, you need to copy the
slip_params.h file into your application folder and add something like this to
your Makefile:

ifeq (,$(SLIP_UART))
# set default (first available UART)
    SLIP_UART="UART_DEV(0)"
endif
ifeq (,$(SLIP_BAUDRATE))
    # set default
   SLIP_BAUDRATE=115200
endif

GNRC_NETIF_NUMOF := 2
INCLUDES += -I$(CURDIR)
CFLAGS += -DSLIP_UART=$(SLIP_UART)
CFLAGS += -DSLIP_BAUDRATE=$(SLIP_BAUDRATE)

USEMODULE += gnrc_slip


This will add a SLIP interface that uses the primary UART as a serial port.

However, you might run into problems since this UART is also used for the
shell and I don't know how well multiplexing works on both ends. A common
solution that is, for example, used for our the before mentioned border router is to add a second USB-to-UART by using an external adapter that can be found
for a low price on ebay [3].

Not that I'm aware of.

That seems strange to me. Is there anything else that tries to access the ACM
device? Maybe some Ubuntu magic? Maybe some of the other Ubuntu (derivate)
users here can help (Hauke, Martine...)?

Cheers,
Oleg
