Serial communcation with USB to serial(DB9) cable - rahulsharma - 12-23-2018
Hi,
I am using Rockpro64 with Ubuntu18 image.
I have successfully done UART communication of rockpro through ttyS2 port(GPIO6,8) with my laptop.
No i have USB to serial(DB9) cable and i wanted to use one of the USB port of rockpro. I did try the same with 1500000 Baudrate but on my receiver side, i can see a garbage data is coming. I have tried different buadrates too but only garbage data is there.
Any suggestion? Can i use USB port for my serial communication?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I have told that i am using USB to Serial cable. I am not using any GPIO now.

it is connected through one of USB port. And also been detected as USB0 on rockpro side.
So my question was regarding that only. Can i send data through this cable with 1500000 buadrate?

That is what I mean ... The adapter you are showing is RS232 level ...
What device do you wish to plug on DB9 side ? Is it really a RS232 device ?
Otherwise, you maybe need USB-TTL Serial (not RS232) such as : https://www.amazon.in/SunRobotics-Converter-Adapter-Aurdino-RaspberryPI/dp/B072XG5WTN/ref=sr_1_14

Hi rahulsharma,
I think you are trying to get serial console access to the rockpro64 by plugging in a USB serial adapter in one of the USB ports. Unfortunately, to get serial access to the RP64, you need a 3V3 TTL serial adapter (FT232 or others) that plug into the GPIO pins.
The guide to get this working is here:

Hi,
So that means i can't use usb port for serial communication?
As i have done serial communication with gpio pins (6,8,10) and used a usb to TTL converter. That is done.
What i asked to use USB port to send serial data for serial communication. Can i do that?
@martinayotte
Yes, The device at the receiving end is a serial +-12v. So please suggest how to achieve that.
And anyhow i have to use a TTL to serial converter in between but i want to distinguish two possibilities-
1) one is i use gpio pins(6,8,10) and then use converter
2) If i want to use one of the USB port instead of GPIOs so how can i do that?
Thanks.

@rahulsharma, if your end device is really RS232 +/-12V, then, the USB-RS232 adaptor you provide link above will work.
