$ source oe-init-build-env
2. Use a text editor to add the following content to the configuration file:
'./conf/bblayers.conf':
3. Add this line "/home/user/poky/meta-moxa' to BBLAYERS
BBLAYERS ?= " \
/home/user/poky/meta \
/home/user/poky/meta-poky \
/home/user/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
/home/user/poky/meta-raspberrypi \

Deploy the Yocto image in Raspberry Pi
Build the image with the Real TTY driver:
$ cd /home/user/poky
$ source oe-init-build-env
$ bitbake core-image-base
An SD-card format image (.rpi-sdimg) is generated under
/home/user/poky/build/tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi3. It is suggested to use the Raspberry Pi official tool
‘rpi-imager’ to burn the image into the SD-card and then boot it into the Linux kernel in Raspberry Pi.
Start the Real TTY driver in Raspberry Pi
After logging into the system, start the Real TTY driver

For example, we illustrate how to add a 4-port NPort with the IP address: 192.168.127.254
root@raspberrypi3:~# cd /usr/lib/npreal2/driver
root@raspberrypi3:/usr/lib/npreal2/driver# ./mxaddsvr 192.168.127.254 4

ttyr00, cur00
ttyr01, cur01
ttyr02, cur02
ttyr03, cur03
Added Real Com IP : 192.168.127.254
Now the device node /dev/ttyr00 ~ /dev/ttyr03 is created for tty port use.
