Note:
By default the TX and RX of the RS485 connection are disabled. So you have to enable them
before you can start using the RS485 port. (You can enable this by using the DE and RE
signals). For a 2 wire interface (=half duplex) you should of course only enable one direction
at the same time.
Below an example of how to do this in your code.
(The example shows how to activate both DE and RE)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
# include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main (void)
{
int fd = open("/dev/ttySP4",O_RDWR || O_NONBLOCK);
if (fd < 0) { printf("failed to pen device\n"); return 0; }
int status, err;
/* switch on RS485 TRANSMIT buffer and RECEIVE buffer */
ioctl(fd, TIOCMGET, &status);
status |= (TIOCM_DE | TIOCM_RE);
if ((err = ioctl(fd, TIOCMSET, &status)))
{
printf("ioctl error 0x%x, errno 0x%x, status %x",err, errno, status);
}
close(fd);
return 0;
}
