Serial Gateway connect problem ttyAMA0

[lrtsenar]

Hi all,

Using Mysensors 2.11, latest version of Domoticz (3.58.77), Arduino pro mini 5V directly connected to RPI2 through Tx/Rx connection (having carefully made a voltage divider for 3.3 V Rx on RPI2), have compiled SerialGateway with following parameters :

No connection to Serial Gateway (even after waiting for hours ) :

So I tried to lock the ttyAMA0 in order to see if Domoticz is really tries to connect to ttyAMA0, so have locked ttyAMA0 :

And Domoticz is happy with this (as after a restart of Dmz service) !

No error seen...

I suspect Domoticz doesn't try to connect to ttyAMA0. I already fully disabled the serial boot ability and log on ttyAMA0 in RPI (systemctrl diasble,sudo systemctl stop getty.target, /boot/cmdline.txt does'nt contain any ttyAMA0 reference, disable serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service, ...)
The same hardware is fully functional with my old SD Card (Rasbian/Mysensors installed 1 year ago) !

Is anybody knows what's wrong

how many different USB devices do you have connected to your RPI2?
Mine using RPI3 is connected to dev/ttyUSB0
what happens when you type in a command prompt dmesg | grep tty?

 dmesg |grep tty

You find something like this:
ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0

This :

But I'm not using USB to serial converter, I'm only using native serial GPIO Tx/Rx pins like I said in my 1st post.

@lrtsenar
By default ttyAMA0 is configured like system console for Linux on Raspberry.
Do you disable it?

@lrtsenar
console [ttyAMA0] enabled

I think, that this is issue.....
It is used by system.

@kimot
After folowing your link, dmesg displays :

And :

Now, sems console uses only tty1 but problem persists :-(

I overlooked this info

Maybe it's a rights problem, can you sudo minicom it? Your domoticz user should be added to the group allowing access to ttys. For me it's group uucp.

@pansen
I Think, that it is "dialout" group.
Or try start Domoticz: sudo ./domoticz

But I found informations, that handle of "tty"s depends on Rapsbian version too.

"Because OS version jessie has changed to using systemd, the file /etc/initab no longer exists. You must use the systemd command systemctl to stop getty.target that is attached to /dev/ttyAMA0

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl stop getty.target

NOTE: This will release ttyAMA0 until you reboot/restart the raspberry pi. After you reboot you will have to give the command again."

And for the best - on RPI3 ttyAMA0 is connected to Bluetooth and gpio is ttyS0 and is software emulated.

Did you try to this?
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add to the end:

enable_uart=1
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
Remove everything and add this:
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 elevator=deadline net.ifnames=0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfsty
