@Jirat_Srisabye Mainline firmware overlays are currently not supported. To open the serial port, you need to modify the source code.

I can compile this kernel by fenix tool, How to modify?

Thank you

@Jirat_Srisabye

You can refer to this, you need to convert the code into a patch

5

Which file?

All of this ?

Please guide, Thank you :joy:

@Jirat_Srisabye When compiling the mainline kernel, we obtain the corresponding original code from the mainline, and then apply our patch, so if you want to modify the uart, you need to generate a modified patch on the corresponding code of the mainline first, and then put it in the patch file folder, so that your patch will be applied when compiling

For uart not found issue, Do you have patch file?

@Frank I create this patch and recompile but no tty uart device found. :sweat_smile:
