 Hello,

 I came across this tutorial on configuration for RS-485 serial

 the procedure. 

 My beaglebone black is currently running on the latest Debian image

 Let's dive into the Kernel a bit to to see how RS-485 works in
 Linux; the standard steps to put a UART into RS-485 mode are: 

  1. Open the special tty file
  2. Create a serial_rs485 struct and set the desired configuration
 values
  3. Pass the configured struct to Kernel driver by using ioctl
 http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioctl.2.html on the
 open serial port file descriptor

 I don't understand do these steps, where do I find the special tty
 file and as well as creating the serial_rs485 struct. Can someone
 guide me through this part?

 Thank you.
