E25 4-pin header

Hi,

If I use the USB-C port I can power the board and also get a 1.5Mbps serial console port from the same connector. Now, I want to use a separate USB-C power supply, without connection to my laptop.

Can I get a serial port console using the 4-pin header on the E25 board?

P.S. Is there any overview of all the pins and connectors on the E25 board?

Best regards

Can you send a photo of your E25 board?

Hope this helps. It’s a v1.3 board.


Please refer to the schematics:

Yes, you can put enable the dtbo for serial console on PIN 2&4.

Hi,

You can get a serial port console using uart3-m0,If you want to use uart3-m0 as console, modify /boot/uEnv.txt and modify the sixth line to
overlays=rk3568-fiq-debugger-uart3m0 rk3568-disable-npu

You can check out GPIO at :

Thank you @jack and @Alvin! I was initially referring to the 4-pin header on the board, the one close to the USB C-connector, but I guess using UART3 from u-boot as console works too.

However, I tried putting in the overlays= in my uEnv.txt file, but I on reboot I get this:

reading /dtbs/4.19.193-24-rockchip-g526c758e05e0/rockchip/rk3568-radxa-e25.dtb

** Unable to read file /dtbs/4.19.193-24-rockchip-g526c758e05e0/rockchip/overlay/rk3568-disable-npu.dtbo **

… and it seems my /boot/dtbs/4.19.193-24-rockchip-g526c758e05e0/rockchip/overlay/ directory doesn’t contain these files. I’m using radxa-e25-ubuntu-focal-server-arm64-20220801-0210-gpt.img.xz currently.

Check your uEnv.txt file is correct, rk3568-fiq-debugger-uart3m0 and rk3568-disable-npu need to be separated by spaces

Thanks, but I’m pretty sure I got it right, there just are no .dtbo files matching those names.

Here’s the overlay sub-directory for my image:
