Unable to use SiK radio after upgrade to latest image

[rodger (Rodger Duffett)]

After upgrading to the latest image - emlid-raspbian-20180525.img - telemetry via 3DR radios no longer works.

1. Communication between the radios is fine. In Mission Planner both local and remote radios are visible and commands can be sent between the two.
2. Swapping out radios does not fix the issue.
3. Tested on two separate RPi3 and Navio2 combos.
4. /dev/ttyAMA0 is present
5. Switching the radio to a USB port works.

Thanks for report. We’ll look into it as soon as possible.

Hello.

Have you enabled Serial using raspi-config?
enable_uart=1 shouldn’t be in /boot/config.txt.

[rodger (Rodger Duffett)]

Hi Alexey,
Apologies for not replying sooner. I ran into trouble with the telemetry interfering with GPS reception. I’ve had to temporarily stop using it until I get some time to debug this. Instead of the serial interface on the Navio2 I was using one of the USB ports on the Pi.

However, my understanding on the RPI3 is that in order to have serial enabled and to use the PL011 hardware enable_uart=1 must be set. Please could you clarify.

Many thanks,
Rodger

Hi, Rodger,
Yes, you’re absolutely right. To enable PL011 (GPIO 14 and GPIO 15 UART pins) you should set enable_uart to 1.
There is also pi3-disable-bt overlay should be present to disable the Bluetooth device and restore UART0 to GPIOs 14 and 15

Thank-you!
