thanks.
I am not using the fpc email as it seems off topic.
May I know the exact brand and model number of the adapter you used?
I have an ATEN usb-to-serial cable (UC-232A) but I am not sure how to
connect its serial pins to rs-485 's DIFFERENTIAL LINES and how to set
that adapter into half-duplex translation mode.

With RS-485 hardware you can - and supposedly need to - do
"half-duplex with output enable", if your hardware provides this.
After days of google search, I am afraid the bcm2835, the Soc of
Raspberry Pi (the hardware I have to use) does not provide this hardware
support :-(
It states that it does not even support interrupt. Polling is the only
way for events :-(
If that's true, you could use an usb to rs485 adapter, most of those do
the tx/rx switching automatically, so you just see a "normal" serial
port (of course you'll have to manage the high level protocol yourself).
I've mostly used them in 422 mode (4 wires/full duplex) but I used one
of them once in rs485 mode (2 wires/half duplex).
IIRC the brand was VSCom.
