Title: Olimex A64-OlinuXino UART configuration
Post by: asimko on July 18, 2019, 11:22:01 AM
Hello,

I cannot find anywhere how can I setup more UART (there should be 6 of them), I have only one (the debug connector). In A20 I just setup script.fex and everything was fine, but how can I setup uarts in A64?

Thank you for any answer!

In mainline kernel you use overlays instead of script.bin/fex. We haven't published such for A64 boards but we have published overlays for the A20 boards. These two links should be used as the starting point:

https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner_overlays/

https://github.com/armbian/sunxi-DT-overlays/tree/master/sun50i-a64

Then check our work for the A20 boards:
