Facing issue in loading UART for Beaglebone debian

1

I am facing issue in loading uart port for Beaglebone Debian.

Following are my configurations:

I have a beaglebone with Debian OS. I have an sd card with 4 Partitions.

Partition 1 ( mmcblk0p1 ) contains following bootloader configurations:-

  1. /boot/dtbs/4.14.71-ti-r80/am335x-bonegreen-wireless.dtb
  2. /boot/vmlinuz-4.14.71-ti-r80
  3. /boot/uEnv.txt
  4. /boot/initrd.img-4.14.71-ti-r80
  5. /lib/firmware/BB-UART4-00A0.dtbo
  6. /lib/firmware/BB-UART1-00A0.dtbo
  7. /lib/firmware/BB-I2C2-00A0.dtbo
  8. /lib/firmware/AM335X-PRU-UIO-00A0.dtbo
  9. /lib/firmware/BB-BBGW-WL1835-00A0.dtbo
  10. /lib/firmware/BB-BONE-eMMC1-01-00A0.dtbo
  11. /lib/firmware/BB-ADC-00A0.dtbo
  12. /uEnv.txt

Partition 2 ( mmcblk0p2 ) contains the Debian OS.

Partition 3 ( mmcblk0p3 ) contains another Debian OS.

Partition 4 ( mmcblk0p4 ) decides from Which partition to boot?

/uEnv.txt from mmcblk0p1 reads from mmcblk0p4 and decides from which partition to boot.

This is my /uEnv.txt:

rdaddr=0x88080000

initrd_high=0xffffffff
fdt_high=0xffffffff

loadxrd=echo debug: [/boot/initrd.img-${uname_r}] ... ; load mmc 0:1 ${rdaddr} /boot/initrd.img-${uname_r}; setenv rdsize ${filesize}

            fatwrite mmc $flagpart $loadaddr three_tried 4; \
            run boot_three; \
        fi; \
    elif test -e mmc $flagpart two; then \
        if test ! -e mmc $flagpart two_ok; then \
            if test -e mmc $flagpart two_tried; then \
                run boot_three; \
            else \
                fatwrite mmc $flagpart $loadaddr two_tried 4; \
            fi; \
        fi; \
    fi;
uenvcmd=\
    run loadall; \
    run findroot; \
    echo Using root partition ${rootpart}; \
    if run loadfdt; then \
        echo Loaded ${fdtfile}; \
        if run loadimage; then \
            run mmcargs; \
            bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdtaddr}; \
        fi; \
    fi;

In /boot/uEnv.txt I have enabled following Configs:

uname_r=4.14.71-ti-r80
enable_uboot_overlays=1
uboot_overlay_addr0=/lib/firmware/BB-UART4-00A0.dtbo
uboot_overlay_addr1=/lib/firmware/BB-UART1-00A0.dtbo

enable_uboot_cape_universal=1
cmdline=coherent_pool=1M net.ifnames=0 quiet

Question:

Now when I boot into the partition and check for the UART port I am unable to find them.

ls -l /dev/ttyO*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov  3  2016 /dev/ttyO0 -> ttyS0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov  3  2016 /dev/ttyO2 -> ttyS2

The output I am expecting is:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov  3  2016 /dev/ttyO0 -> ttyS0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov  3  2016 /dev/ttyO1 -> ttyS1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov  3  2016 /dev/ttyO2 -> ttyS2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov  3  2016 /dev/ttyO3 -> ttyS3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov  3  2016 /dev/ttyO4 -> ttyS4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov  3  2016 /dev/ttyO5 -> ttyS5
