Enumate the serialport not correct in raspberry CM4

[zrz4066]

let ports = serialport::available_ports().expect("No ports found!"); for p in ports { println!("{}", p.port_name); }

After run the code ,I got the serial port name. The port name is not correct. "/sys/class" is redundant. There are other serial port such as /dev/ttyAMA1 /dev/AMA2,but it does't enumerate all serial port actually. pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo ./rpidemo Blinking an LED on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB3 /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1 /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB2 /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0

I'm sorry for the late reply @zrz4066! Which release of serialport-rs were you using back then? Could you please give our example list_ports a try? On a Raspberry Pi 3+ running Raspian Buster, it lists me the expected USB serial devices:

$ cargo run --example list_ports
[...]
Found 3 ports:
  /dev/ttyAMA0
    Type: Unknown
  /dev/ttyUSB1
    Type: USB
    VID:10c4 PID:ea60
     Serial Number: [...]
      Manufacturer: Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc.
           Product: CP2102/CP2109 UART Bridge Controller [CP210x family]
  /dev/ttyUSB0
    Type: USB
    VID:0403 PID:6001
     Serial Number: FT[...]
      Manufacturer: Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
           Product: FT232 Serial (UART) IC

Which operating system release are you running on your Raspberry Pi? If the output differs there, then this is something to look further into.

I've got the output above even with our release 4.2.0 which was out at the time you were writing this issue.

Finally managed to fabricate the output from the description with the list_ports.rs example and disabled support for libudev:

$ cargo run --no-default-features --example list_ports
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.06s
     Running `target/debug/examples/list_ports`
Found 5 ports:
  /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1
    Type: Unknown
  /sys/class/tty/ttyS0
    Type: Unknown
[...]

It looks like the actual enumeration just returns directory names from /sys/class/tty. These are not the device file paths needed for instantiating the devices like /dev/ttyUSB0. What likely needs to be done:

• Check if there is a symlink pointing to the actual device file from inside /sys/class/tty/ttyX?
• Or just build the device file name /dev/ttyX from /sys/class/tty/ttyX
  • Cross check that the device numbers from /sys/class/tty/ttyX/dev match?

Version 4.2.2 Exec code: example list_ports (no-default-features) Result : No ports found. （actually have ttymxc1 ttymxc2） Hardware：NXP.I.MX6ULL
Kernel version：4.5.1 Build Env : --target=arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf

Thanks for your Answer at #119 and hope it can help you.

Result : No ports found. （actually have ttymxc1 ttymxc2)

I would have expected them to be listed in /sys/class/tty @pandakka. How does for example /sys/class/tty/ttymxc1 look like? Could you please capture a directory listing (ls -l) there? I'm wondering why the enumeration fails.

[pandakka]

@sirhcel Sure ! But I need to go outside these days.Once back I will write in this issues.

I found the time to boot up an i.MX8 board. It runs a Linux with BusyBox and in /sys/class/tty, the links for ttymcx0 and ttymxc2 are present and the linked directories look like they would result in these devices being enumerated'

Linux on this board is pretty bare and getting list_ports to build looks like a pretty bunch of work ahead. So I'm stopping here for now.

How does things look on your system @pandakka?

[pandakka]

Sorry for the late reply! It seems looks like same as mine. Due to the system is pretty bare, that libudev may not work which cause the list_ports can't find the port. Right? Thank you for you answar！
