本文提供有关 Linux® TTY框架的信息。 它解释了如何激活“”UART“”接口,以及如何从用户和内核空间访问它。

Framework purpose

TTY子系统控制UART设备与使用这些设备的程序之间的通信。
TTY子系统负责:

  • 控制异步线路上的物理数据流(包括传输速度,字符大小和线路可用性)。
  • 通过识别特殊字符并适应本国语言来解释数据。
  • 通过控制终端的概念来控制作业和终端访问。


TTY子系统不支持STM32 USART外设的同步模式。
控制终端管理一组进程的输入和输出操作。 TTY特殊文件(ttyX文件系统条目)支持控制终端接口。
为了执行其任务,TTY子系统由模块(也称为学科)组成。 模块是一组处理规则,它们控制计算机与异步设备之间的通信接口。 可以为每个TTY动态添加和删除模块。

TTY子系统支持三种主要类型的模块:

  • TTY驱动程序:TTY驱动程序或硬件规则直接控制硬件(TTY设备)或伪硬件(PTY设备)。 它们通过为适配器上面的模块提供服务来执行对适配器的实际输入和输出。 打开端口时,这些服务是流控制和特殊语义。
  • 线学科:线学科提供编辑,作业控制和特殊字符解释。 它们执行入站和出站数据流上发生的所有转换。 生产线规程还为TTY驱动程序执行大多数错误处理和状态监视。
  • 转换器模块:转换器模块或映射学科,翻译或映射输入和输出字符。


从内核4.12版本开始,串行设备总线(也称为Serdev)已在TTY框架中引入,以改善为连接到串行端口的设备(例如:蓝牙,NFC,FM无线电和GPS设备)提供的接口 学科“驾驶员”有一些已知的局限性:

  • 设备是在用户空间而不是固件中编码的(ACPI的设备树)
  • “驱动程序”不是内核驱动程序,而是用户空间守护程序
  • 内核空间中没有描述相关的资源(GPIO和中断,调节器,时钟,音频接口),这会影响电源管理
  • 打开端口时会注册“驱动程序”

Serdev允许将设备连接到UART,而无需了解线路规则限制:

  • 新总线类型:串行
  • Serdev控制器
  • Serdev设备(客户端或从设备)
  • Serdev TTY-端口控制器
    • 仅内核内控制器实现
    • 定义客户端时,由TTY驱动程序注册
    • 客户端由固件(设备树或ACPI)描述


STMicroelectronics提供的USART低级驱动程序(“drivers/tty/serial/stm32 USART.c”)支持 RS-232 standard (for serial communication transmission of data), and RS-485 standard (for modbus协议应用程序为例)。

Linux®低级驱动程序不支持USART同步模式。


在以下用例中,TTY框架用于访问串行设备:

  • Linux启动过程中的“'tty虚拟控制台”'
  • pts pseudo-terminal通过终端访问
  • 用户空间应用程序

注意: 在引导过程中,当探测串行设备时,串行框架会将关联的tty终端实例化为虚拟设备。 然后,系统将该tty虚拟设备视为关联的串行设备的子级。

Components description

从客户端应用程序到硬件

  • 应用程序:客户应用程序,用于从串行端口上连接的外围设备读取/写入数据。
  • TTY tools: Linux社区提供的工具,例如sttyldattachinputattachtty ttys agety mingettykermit minicom
  • Termios: API,提供使用串行驱动程序开发应用程序的接口。
  • 客户端子系统:serdev内核的内核子系统客户端(示例:蓝牙概述).
  • STM32 USART: STM32前端IP通过串行端口连接到外部设备。

APIs description

TTY仅向用户空间提供字符设备接口(命名为/ dev / ttyX)。 用户空间TTY客户端应用程序的主要API由便携式POSIX终端接口termios提供,该终端依赖于/ dev / ttyX接口进行TTY链接配置。

[1] 是一个用户区域API,它的功能描述了用于控制异步通信端口的通用终端接口。

POSIX termios API抽象化了硬件的低级细节,并提供了一个简单而完整的编程接口,可用于高级项目。 它是character device API[2] ioctl操作。

注意: 如果在内核级别需要串行接口(例如,通过内核驱动程序通过U(S)ART控制外部设备),则客户可以使用 line discipline 或“ Serdev”客户端。

  • 学科将负责:
    • 创建这个新的内核API
    • 在串行内核和新内核API之间路由数据流
  • Serdev提供了内核驱动程序的接口。
    • 此界面类似于线路规则操作:打开和关闭,终端设置,写入,调制解调器控制,读取(回调)和写入唤醒(回调)

Configuration

本节介绍如何在串行端口上配置设备。

Kernel Configuration

默认情况下,ST交付中会激活串行驱动程序,串行框架和TTY框架。 但是,如果需要特定的配置,则本节说明如何在内核中激活/停用IIO。

使用Linux Menuconfig 工具。

对于TTY,选择:

Device Drivers  --->
   Character devices  --->
     [*]   Enable TTY                           

允许删除可节省空间的TTY支持,并阻止需要TTY的功能包含在内核中。
任何文本终端或串行端口通信都需要TTY。 大多数用户应启用此功能。

对于STM32串行驱动程序,选择:

Device Drivers  --->
   Character devices  --->
      Serial drivers  --->
     <*> STMicroelectronics STM32 serial port support
     [*]   Support for console on STM32

该驱动程序用于STMicroelectronics STM32 MCU上的片上串行控制器。 
USART支持Rx和Tx功能。它支持所有行业标准的波特率。

Device tree configuration

专用文章Serial TTY device tree configuration中描述了由于设备树而导致的UART配置。

How to use TTY

本节基于以下两个用例,描述如何从用户区域(从终端或应用程序)以及内核空间使用TTY:

  • 如何使用termios结构配置串行端口
  • 如何发送/接收数据

termios结构允许使用许多设置来配置通信端口,例如:

  • Baud rate
  • Character size mask
  • Parity bit enabling
  • Parity and framing errors detection settings
  • Start/stop input and output control
  • RTS/CTS (hardware) flow control
  • ...

由于USART internal peripheral 支持7、8和9个字长的数据,因此支持以下termios字符大小和奇偶校验位配置:

  • CS6 with parity bit
  • CS7 with or without parity bit
  • CS8 with or without parity bit

使用TTY的提示:

How to trace and debug the framework

How to monitor

As Debugfs does not propose any information about serial or TTY frameworks, the way to monitor Serial and TTY frameworks is to use the linux kernel log method (based on printk) described in Dmesg和Linux内核日志 article.

How to trace

Kernel boot log

The following extract of kernel boot log shows a serial driver properly probed:

[    0.793340] STM32 USART driver initialized
[    0.798779] 4000f000.serial: ttySTM1 at MMIO 0x4000f000 (irq = 25, base_baud = 4000000) is a stm32-usart
[    0.808875] stm32-usart 4000f000.serial: interrupt mode used for rx (no dma)
[    0.816106] stm32-usart 4000f000.serial: interrupt mode used for tx (no dma)
[    0.824253] 40010000.serial: ttySTM0 at MMIO 0x40010000 (irq = 27, base_baud = 4000000) is a stm32-usart
[    0.833796] console [ttySTM0] enabled
[    0.833796] console [ttySTM0] enabled
[    0.840862] bootconsole [earlycon0] disabled
[    0.840862] bootconsole [earlycon0] disabled
[    0.850132] stm32-usart 40010000.serial: interrupt mode used for rx (no dma)
[    0.855755] stm32-usart 40010000.serial: interrupt mode used for tx (no dma)

dmesg output information

The system log shows the UART devices and associated TTY terminals registered during the probe.

Board $> dmesg | grep ttySTM*
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 rootwait rw earlyprintk console=ttySTM1,115200
# ttySTM1 terminal is associated with usart3 (4000f000.serial) # 
[    0.798779] 4000f000.serial: ttySTM1 at MMIO 0x4000f000 (irq = 25, base_baud = 4000000) is a stm32-usart
# ttySTM0 terminal is associated with uart4 (40010000.serial) for console#
[    0.824253] 40010000.serial: ttySTM0 at MMIO 0x40010000 (irq = 27, base_baud = 4000000) is a stm32-usart      
# ttySTM0 terminal is activated by default for console #
[    0.833796] console [ttySTM0] enabled

Dynamic trace

A detailed dynamic trace is available in How to use the kernel dynamic debug

 Board $> echo  "file drivers/tty/* +p" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

This command enables all the traces related to the TTY core and drivers at runtime.
A finer selection can be made by choosing only the files to trace.

Info.png Reminder: loglevel needs to be increased to 8 by using either boot arguments or the dmesg -n 8 command through the console

How to debug

While a TTY serial port is instantiated, the TTY core exports different files through devfs, sysfs and procfs.

devfs

  • The repository /dev contains all the probed TTY serial devices.
Board $> ls /dev/ttySTM*
# ttySTM1 and ttySTM0 terminals are probed #
/dev/ttySTM1  /dev/ttySTM0

sysfs

  • /sys/class/tty/ lists all TTY devices which ttySx correspond to serial port devices.
Board $> ls /sys/class/tty/*/device/driver
/sys/class/tty/ttySTM1/device/driver -> ../../../../bus/platform/drivers/stm32-usart
/sys/class/tty/ttySTM0/device/driver -> ../../../../bus/platform/drivers/stm32-usart
  • /sys/devices/platform/soc/ lists all the usart devices probed
Board $> ls -d /sys/devices/platform/soc/*.serial
# Serial devices 4000f000.serial (usart3) and 40010000.serial (uart4) are probed #
/sys/devices/platform/soc/4000f000.serial  /sys/devices/platform/soc/40010000.serial
  • /sys/devices/platform/soc/device.serial/tty lists the TTY terminal associated to a serial device
Board $> ls /sys/devices/platform/soc/4000f000.serial/tty/      
# ttySTM1 is associated to serial device 4000f000.serial (usart3)  #
ttySTM1

procfs

  • The repository /proc/device-tree lists all the usart devices declared in the device-tree, including the disabled ones.
Board $> ls -d /proc/device-tree/soc/serial@*
/proc/device-tree/soc/serial@4000e000  /proc/device-tree/soc/serial@40010000  /proc/device-
tree/soc/serial@40018000  /proc/device-tree/soc/serial@44003000
/proc/device-tree/soc/serial@4000f000  /proc/device-tree/soc/serial@40011000  /proc/device-
tree/soc/serial@40019000  /proc/device-tree/soc/serial@5c000000

Then for each device listed, device-tree properties are available.

Board $> ls /proc/device-tree/soc/serial@40010000/
clock-names  compatible       interrupts-extended  name     pinctrl-0  pinctrl-names  reg     wakeup-source
clocks       interrupt-names  linux,phandle        phandle  pinctrl-1  power-domains  status
As an example, the status entry provides the status of the device in the device tree node.
Board $> cat /proc/device-tree/soc/serial@40010000/status
# status of device serial@40010000 (uart4) is set to "okay" in the device tree #
okay


  • The file /proc/interrupts lists the interrupts for active serial ports.
Board $> cat /proc/interrupts | grep serial
26:          0          0     GIC-0  71 Level     4000f000.serial
27:          0          0  stm32-exti-h  28 Edge      4000f000.serial
28:      13509          0     GIC-0  84 Level     40010000.serial
29:          0          0  stm32-exti-h  30 Edge      40010000.serial


  • The file /proc/tty/driver/stm32-usart lists serial core counters and modem information for each serial instance.
Driver information:
  • serial driver name
  • serial device start address
  • irq number
Counters:
  • tx: Number of bytes sent
  • rx: Number of bytes received
  • fe: Number of framing errors received
  • pe: Number of parity errors received
  • brk: Number of break signals received
  • oe: Number of overrun errors received
  • bo: Number of framework buffer overrun errors received
Modem information:
  • RTS: Request To Send
  • CTS: Clear To Send
  • DTR: Data Terminal Ready
  • DSR: Data Set Ready
  • CD: Carrier Detect
  • RI: Ring Indicator
Board $> cat /proc/tty/driver/stm32-usart
