Modbus sample errors- cdc acm

[Dzolo2k1]

Hi, 

i want to use modbus RTU server sample, ive done everything just like in guide, used proper devicetree, commented line in overlay etc. Downloaded pymodbus with the plugin to have a console working with just commands. And this is what i get everytime: 


Any idea how can i repair it? I want to use sample in my own code, but i cant get it working. Ofc ive changed command to start terminal with ttyACM0.

Hi

Which version of NCS are you using? 

Could you show me your build configuration? 

Do you have any warnings in your build log?

I found out that i always get stuck in

while (!dtr) {
		uart_line_ctrl_get(dev, UART_LINE_CTRL_DTR, &dtr);
		
		k_sleep(K_MSEC(100));
	}

so i always get to the

The build log looks fine

I would strongly recommend that you use the corresponding toolchain to the sdk version. 

I suspect it might there is something with the uart. The baudrate used in the pymodbus doc do not correspond to the normal baudrate used on nordic devices. 

I would also suggest disabling mass storage device on your dk as it might cause some issues. 

Disable mass storage device

To disable the Mass Storage Device functionality on your Nordic Semiconductor device, you can follow these steps:

1. Open JLinkExe from a terminal on GNU/Linux or macOS (OS X), or open the "JLink Commander" application on Microsoft Windows.
2. Type the following command:

   MSDDisable
3. Unplug and replug the board. The Mass Storage Device should not appear anymore.

I did change baudrate once to 115200 in both example and pymodbus terminal and it didnt work. Ill try to disable mass storage device, but i have a question. What do you mean with corresponding toolchain, im using 2.6.1 according to VSC and nrfutill shell 

[Dzolo2k1]

And it didnt work...

If you are using toolchain 2.6.1 then everything is fine. 

I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'm asking internally to see if anyone has experience with it. It might be there are people more familiar with modbus on the zephyr discord so it would not hurt to ask there also.

Its not error with modbus actually, there is a problem with USB CDC ACM, i tried to use cdc acm sample and it also doesnt work in the same way *** Booting nRF Connect SDK v2.5.2 ***
