ICE-1 · No /dev/serial0 with LE 11.0.3 and later ICE-1 February 5, 2024 at 9:15 AM

Hi,

I found a backup of LE11.0.1 and with this the symlinks /dev/serial0 and /dev/serial1 are created already, with date 02-16-2023. I am using the Joy-It Multimediacase, and seems, that the firmware of the built-in extension board needs this to shut down and reboot properly after LE was shut down.

Would be nice, if the symlinks will be created again in future LE releases, to keep compatibility

Regards - Helmut

Ok, does it mean no more miniuart-bt in the config.txt necessary? I will try it.

Hello,

here is the log

I could try the wget, if I knew the URL of LE 11.0.1. I found only 11.0.3 and higher. Finally, I use a RPi4.

Hello,

after update from LE 11.0.1 to 11.0.3 the /dev/serial0 and /dev/serial1 have vanished. Access with pyserial does not work any more.

With miniuart-bt in config.txt, there is /dev/ttyAMA and no /dev/ttys0. Without miniuart-bt, vice versa.

Unfortunately, from recent 11.0.5 the downgrade to 11.0.1 is no longer possible. Same occurs with a fresh clean install of LE 12 nightly.

Any help? is it a bug? Thanks - Helmut
