Mesa PktUART TX Enable pin for RS-485

I am looking for an example VHDL pin file (or code snippet) for a PktUART that implements a transmit enable pin.  I have a custom board with a galvanically isolated RS485 driver on it, and I need a way to control the direction of the converter.  I currently run it with an FTDI USB-Serial converter which has a TXEN output for this purpose, but would like to move it to the Mesa so I can use the new RT-MODBUS stuff.

I've seen vague reference that it exists but haven't yet found a clear example in the source.

thanks,
Steve

The pin description would be something like this:

 IOPortTag & x"00" & PktUARTTTag & PktUTDrvEnPin,
 (active Low)

Also note that you should use recent source that includes version 2 PktUART source
especially for low baud rate interfaces, as version 2 has more accurate low baud rate
settings and RX  data digital filter time constants that extend down to ~600 baud

        (PktUARTTTag,    x"02",    ClockLowTag,    x"01",    PktUARTTDataAddr&PadT,        PktUARTTNumRegs,        x"00",    PktUARTTMPBitMask),
        (PktUARTRTag,    x"02",    ClockLowTag,    x"01",    PktUARTRDataAddr&PadT,        PktUARTRNumRegs,        x"00",    PktUARTRMPBitMask),



 

Thanks Peter, much appreciated. I think my code is from March, but I'll double check. Is there an easy place to check that it's the version 2 code?

You need newer sources
The changed sources are pktuartx.vhd and pktuartr.vhd they were updated
