Setup

  • Version: latest
  • OS: OSX and Nerves
  • Platform: MacBook / BBB

Expected Behavior

The port should be able to open on both system in RS485 mode.

Actual Behavior

I am using the waveshare USB -> RS485 convertor (uses FTDI FT232RL) and on the Mac and in Nerves. On the Mac I am able to open the port but on Nerves I get {:error, :enotty}

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

      serial_port = "/dev/ttyUSB0" # "/dev/cu.usbserial-A10KV16U" on Mac
      {:ok, port} = Circuits.UART.start_link()

      Circuits.UART.open(
        port,
        serial_port,
        speed: 250_000,
        rs485_enabled: true,
        stop_bits: 2,
        parity: :none
      )

Additional Information

The USB adapter is detected on Nerves and loads sio driver
