UART and RS485 for DigiConnecore devlopments Kit

Hi:
Digi ConnectCore 6Plus Devlopment Kits

https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/embedded/dey/3.0/cc6plus/bsp_r_uart_cc6cc6qp

UART1 and UART3 are 4-wires, RS-232 level.

UART5 is 4-wires, TTL level.

Question:
1) UART1 and UART3 should be able to connect directly to connect to any industrial devices directly without any RS232 shifter , correct?

     2) UART5 need a shifter to use with any industrial devices, correct?

     3) Where is Pin 1 located? is it near to the MIPI Display connector ?
       https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/pdfs/90001499.pdf

     4) If UART5 is assign at RS485 the shifter is still required? Link below

    5) How to modify the device tree as per Link above to assign UART5 as RS485?

Are you asking about module or the SBC?
on the module all ports are TTL 3.3v level, on the SBC on the expansion connector:

UART1 and UART3 are 4-wires, RS-232 level.

UART5 is 4-wires, TTL level. (3.3V)

> UART1 and UART3 should be able to connect directly to connect to any industrial devices directly without any RS232 shifter, correct?

RS485 device tree can be found here:
https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/embedded/dey/3.0/cc6plus/bsp_r_uart_cc6cc6qp

The TTL level depends on the VCC of the device so it is not always 3.3v on all devices. Many of them are 5V

Hi:
I have the SBC. That means the UART1 and UART3 and UART5 are all at 3.3v.

May I know where is Pin 1 ? (I am unable to paste picture).

Also , how and where to modify the device tree for UART5?

Thanks

towards the middle of the board aways from the corner

>Also , how and where to modify the device tree for UART5?
I’ve provided the link above:
&uart5 {
linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time;
rs485-rts-active-high;
rs485-rx-during-tx;
rs485-rts-delay = <1 1>;
status = “okay”;
};

Hi:

towards the middle of the board aways from the corner.

Just to confirm if use the edge of board (where Ethernet Port is) as Reference, going upward will be pin 1 , just like the debug console port (UART 4), correct?

yes, exactly

Thanks a lot
