    324324 * optional on-board termination (enabled by gpio16)
    325325 * in-chip fail-safe protection to default idle inputs to logic-high (no external bias resistors required)
    326  * TXEN connected to gpio12
    327 
    328 The pl011 Linux driver supporting the CN80XX serial ports (SERIAL_AMBA_PL011 drivers/tty/serial/amba-pl011.c) does not look like it supports RS485 directly. While this support could be added you can alternatively drive the TXEN gpio12 directly in a user application for RS485 half-duplex.
     326 * TXEN connected to CN80XX gpio12 which it typically Linux gpio476

     328The pl011 Linux driver supporting the CN80XX serial ports (SERIAL_AMBA_PL011 drivers/tty/serial/amba-pl011.c) does not look like it supports RS485 directly. While this support could be added to the serial driver in the future you can alternatively manage the TXEN (gpio476) directly in a user application (asserting TXEN prior to calling write() then using tcdrain() to wait for the UART FIFO to be empty before deasserting TXEN). For RS485 half-duplex using (see example below).
