Is there an UART tha is usable instead of USB Serial for Serial Command Shell?

jlsilicon · 2015-10-11T07:42:35.000Z

Are any of the UART pins available to use at Bootup, instead of the USB Serial -for Linux Serial Command Shell ??

jlsilicon · 2015-10-11T07:52:02.000Z

To expand upon my question :
Is there any way of programming the Core Board - just via UART ?

jlsilicon · 2015-10-12T05:21:45.000Z

Are p20 UartRx and p21 UartTx the UART that drives through the USB

displaying the Linux Bootup and the Shell Connection ?

jlsilicon · 2015-10-12T10:26:18.000Z

Okay,
I booted up successfully through the UART p2 & p3 to UART-to-USB Converter to the PC !

root@domino:/# [   41.740000] warning: alljoyn-daemon' uses 32-bit capabilities

Minimum Board Procedure:

Simply solder the Domino CORE Chip to the DI-Board.
Solder across R6.
Connect 10k Resistor across p5 to p6.
Connect USB +3.3V and Gnd- to p7=3.3V and p6=Gnd.
Use a Term to the USB ComPort at 115K baud.

Caution - this may put an overdrain on the PC USB Port.

Now I have it stuck rolling through Reboot over-and-over at about #45.xx - 47.xx
While PI just stops at #45.17
How do I get out of this ?

I think that you are probably drawing too much current from your 3.3V supply (Are you using the 3.3V from your serial/USB converter?). This is causing a reboot once it hits a particular point where additional current is needed, and resets itself. If you solder on the 3.3V regulator included with the bare PCB you can use the 5V directly from the USB/serial converter instead of overloading its on-board converter. There are two places that accept 5V on the Di board: on the end of the board labeled UART, and at the opposite end marked USB (They are connected together so it doesn’t matter which you use). I haven’t had any stability issues powering the Di that way, and I’ve connected a USB flash drive to the USB GND, 5V, and D-/D+ pins successfully.

Yes, solved by using (2) Usb2Serial for 3.3V power.

Its also possible to disable thw Wifi:


In order to disable it, you need to
- edit file /etc/config/wireless and change line 

Code: [Select]

 option disabled 0

to 
Code: [Select]

 option disabled 1

- edit file /etc/rc.local and change line
