    299 === Newport
    300 The GW630x / GW640x have 2 CN80XX UART's (UART2/UART3: /dev/ttyAMA2 and /dev/ttyAMA3) going to a [https://www.exar.com/ds/sp335e.pdf SP335E] transceiver which allows selecting a variety of RS232/RS485 configurations:
    301  * 2x RS232 w/o flow control
    302  * 1x RS232 w/ flow control
    303  * 1x RS485 half duplex
    304  * 1x RS485 full duplex
    305 
    306 RS485 modes feature:
    307  * optional half-duplex, multi-drop RS485:
    308  * CN80XX UART2 (/dev/ttyAMA2)
    309  * optional on-board termination (enabled by gpio16)
    310  * in-chip fail-safe protection to default idle inputs to logic-high (no external bias resistors required)
    311  * TXEN connected to CN80XX UART2 RTS
    312 
    313 The pl011 Linux driver supporting the CN80XX serial ports (SERIAL_AMBA_PL011 drivers/tty/serial/amba-pl011.c) supports RS485 via the TIOCSRS485 ioctl as of Linux 5.15 and this support has been backported to the Gateworks 5.10 kernel.
    314 
    315 Software must enable RS485 at boot via device-tree or use the TIOCSRS485 ioctl to configure TXEN - see [#TIOCSRS485 below]).
    316 
    317 
    318 [=#ventana-rs485]
    319 === Ventana
    320 The GW52xx/GW53xx/GW54xx support optional half-duplex, multi-drop RS485:
    321  * IMX6 UART1 (/dev/ttymxc0)
    322  * MAX14840 transceiver
    323  * TXEN connected to gpio193
    324  * '''optional on-board termination resistor'''
    325  * '''optional on-board fail-safe resistors (D+ pull-up and D- pull-down)'''
    326 
    327 By 'optional' this means the baseboard design supports this, but it is not loaded on standard product therefore would be a Gateworks Special. Contact sales@gateworks.com if interested to see if a configuration already exists.
    328 
    329 Software must enable RS485 at boot via device-tree or use the TIOCSRS485 ioctl to configure TXEN - see [#TIOCSRS485 below]).
    330 
    331 The GW551x + GW16111 breakout module support half-duplex, multi-drop RS485:
    332  * IMX6 UART2 (/dev/ttymxc1)
    333   - Note that a jumper must be placed on '''J10:2-3''' to enable RS485 RX (routes UART2 RX to RS485 vs RS232 transceiver)
    334   - Note that a jumper must be placed on '''J10:1-2''' to enable RS232 (routes UART2 to RS232 transceiver)
    335  * MAX14840 transceiver
    336  * TXEN connected to gpio19, or always enabled, or enable on transmit (selected via J10 jumper)
    337   - '''always drive mode''' - jumpers placed on '''J10:2-3''' and '''J10:4-5''' will cause the transceiver to always have its transmit enabled. This is useful for fast signal switching (fast/large bus) if you are using a single master and one or more receivers.
    338   - '''TXD drive mode''' - jumpers placed on '''J10:2-3''' and '''J10:7-8''' will cause the transceiver to be enabled only when TX is asserted. Because there are 4.75k pull's on D+/D- the bus is never 'idle'. This is useful for multi-master scenarios but could pose issues with fast/large busses if the 4.75pull's are not strong enough to switch the signals quick enough.
    339   - '''DIO-drive mode''' - jumpers placed on '''J10:2-3''' and '''J10:7-8''' will cause the transceiver to be enabled only when IMX_DIO1 (gpio19) is asserted high. This is useful for fast/large busses where the TXD drive mode doesn't provide fast enough switching. If using this mode you either need to manage the assertion/de-assertion of gpio19 in usersapce or modify the GW551x device-tree to configure rs485-txen for TIOCSRS485 support by adding '''fsl,rs485-gpio-txen = <&gpio1 19 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;''' to the uart2 device-tree node in arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-gw551x.dtsi
    340  * 121ohm termination (R38) is loaded and can be enabled by placing a jumper on '''J10:9-10'''
    341  * 4.75k pull-up on D+, 4.75k pull-down on D- fail-safe bias resistors are loaded (R37/R40) (bus defaults to logic 1 - never idle)
