Why can't I specify RS485 functionality by adding it to the enum "peripheral_operation_mode"

I have been scanning the forum and I can’t find a reason that RS485 support can’t be added to the USART functions. Do I need to manually call the “usart_init_rs485()”. By doing this will I automatically get half duplex control? I am using a sam4e micro. Thanks for any information.

Sorry I can’t reply as I have no idea what you are talking about without
any context. FreeRTOS itself does not provide RS485 functionality.
