UART on PI4

[certaindestiny]

Hi,

I have been trying for a few days now to enable UART to control a PI hat.
So far i have done the following

posted enable_uart=1 to /boot/config.txt
changed /boot/cmdline to:
dwc_otg.fiq_fix_enable=2 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext3 rootwait rootflags=noload net.ifnames=0

Stopped serial-getty
systemctl stop [email protected]
systemctl disable [email protected]

However i cannot use minicom to get any data from UART.

I must be doing something wrong. Did anybody get UART to work on the Pi 4 and if yes how?

P.S.
Appologies if this is supposed to go into the ARM thread. Please let me know.

You also need to add `console=ttyAMA0` to the cmdline.txt file if you want output on there. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking.

Hi Steev,

Thanks for the reply. i managed to fix it by installing a non-defective pi-hat.
It is working non, For reason console=ttyAMA0 is not required for it to work.

Thanks.
