Plug the USB to serial adapter into the pins as pictured below on the Pi (Black to GND, White to GPIO 14/pin 8 (UART TX), and Green to GPIO 15/pin 10 (UART RX)):
I bought the Adafruit 954 USB-to-TTL Serial Cable. If you want to access the Pi's serial console, here's what you need to do: Simply Embedded has a great overview of UART if you want to learn more. Many devices-including things like storage controller cards, which in a sense run their own internal operating system on an SoC-have a 'UART header', which is typically three or four pins that can connect over the RS-232 standard (though many do not operate at 12v like a traditional serial port! Use a USB-to-TTL adapter like the one I mention below). The Raspberry Pi can output information over a 'serial console', technically known as a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter). Or maybe you're like me, and someone 'accidentally' cut your Raspberry Pi in half, and you want to see what it's doing since it won't boot anymore. Or you don't have an HDMI display, and you can't log into your Pi via SSH. Or it'll boot, but it'll do weird things.
How to use serial port in raspberry pi install#
On the laptop with a serial port (Client), install the screen application, then use it as a terminal emulator to connect over the serial port. On the headless machine (Server), open the serial port, and leave it open.
How to use serial port in raspberry pi how to#
Here are my notes from that time on how to make a successful serial connection. using an ethernet cable or wifi) are not an option since I'm using a raspberry pi zero (and testing on a pi 4) and trying to go for a cabled connection via GPIO pins.Ī decade ago, I used a similar serial login using a null-modem cable (which is different from a plain serial data cable). When trying cat /dev/ttyUSB0, I get a device or resource busy errorĪlso, I'm using the ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop and raspian on the raspberry piĭoes anyone have suggestions on how to deal with this issue? Working around the problem (i.e.
I also tried with minicom, with the same results. I tried pressing enter, and reconnecting the raspi. When I open screen ( sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200), a blank terminal screen appears and nothing changes. On my laptop I tried looking for what usb ports are working ( dmesg | grep tty) I get this return that led me to believe that my raspi is attached to /dev/ttyUSB0:Ĭonsole enabled ttyS4 at I/O 0x4060 (irq = 19, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 ttyS5 at MMIO 0x4010002000 (irq = 20, base_baud = 7500000) is a 16550A pl2303 converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 I have screen and minicom installed on my laptop.Raspi is booting up and the green light is blinking.The wiring is correct (TX cable in raspi's RX, and viceversa)./boot/config.txt in my raspberry pi has a enable_uart=1 line at the bottom.I am trying to use my raspberry pi over serial communication with my ubuntu laptop as in this tutorial.
