Networking :: Setting Up Serial Communication From Desktop Through USB Port In Terminal?
Jan 15, 2010
I am new to linux terminal programming and all but i want to set up a simple serial communication from my desktop through USB port. The actual idea to to write some data in the terminal and build a terminal program that sends the data to the usb port with a fixed baud rate. are there ready made terminal programs available for this simple communication?or atleast any Graphical tools which could help me build and design such a terminal in ubuntu 9.04?
Not really sure where to post this, so here goes... I installed apache2, php and MySQL via LAMP and everything seems to work fine but when I try to open the COM1 port to do serial communication via PHP, I get a permission denied error.
I've also tried using /dev/ttyS0 instead of COM1: but no luck. Anyone out there know what I'm doing wrong? I don't know if I need to set something up in apache2 or php or if the code is just wrong. I'm on an Acer Aspire One with Ubuntu's LNR 9.10.
I am a ham radio operator and I want to use my computer to run "RTTY", "PSK31", and other digital modes. Therefore I have to be able to configure the serial port.
I only have the onboard port (ttyS0).
I can get info about the port by using "$ dmesg | grep tty"
Code: Select alldebian@melsdeb:~$ dmesg | grep tty [ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled [ 1.533804] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.534337] 00:06: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
But when I try to use "setserial" by itself or with any parameters I get this...
Code: Select alldebian@melsdeb:~$ setserial -g /dev/ttyS0 bash: setserial: command not found
I would like to listen to a virtual serialport (dev/ttyACM0). I heard you can this with the terminal in Linux. But how? Does anyone know some commands?
I am in verse to understand the serial communication between guest and host.I have just added a serial port through VI Client selecting "Use serial port on host"(host being ESX host).If I am on VM and run :
ll > /dev/ttyS0
I understand that it should get displayed through ESX Host. So On ESX Host, I typed:
Running RHEL5.5 on a Dell R710 server. I installed a 2-port PCIe serial card, built the driver, and installed the kernel module. The ports show up in /etc/hwconf, lspci, kudzu, /proc/ioports, etc., and I now have two new device entries...
/dev/ttyE0 /dev/ttyE1
When I connect a null modem cable from port 0 of the card in the new computer to serial 0 of another computer, I can receive text from the other computer. When I do this... code...
When I try to Sync a Palm Vx to my PC through serial port I get a communication error message in the gadget. My PalmOS Devices application is already configured to use tty0 or tty1 in unsuccessfully trials. I have a lot of information in the addresses, agenda, notes, etc. and do not want to loose that information gathered for years, nor to return to Windows.
As a test, I used a serial mouse in the serial port and It didn't work. I verified the Bios Setup and COM 1 and COM 2 are enabled.
I also checked my system serial support with the following commands:
And messages were OK when compared with typical outputs. My machine is a Pentium 4 CPU 1.6 GHz, in a U8668 motherboard (Award Software International). I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Gnome.
I am new in Linux and don't know Bash yet. I had followed indications from Internet tutorials successfully, but I don't know how to proceed in this case.
I have been trying out serial and parallel data communication on Fedora 13 Beta. I can easily see the list of serial ports through:
Code: setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0-3] And can also write some data through: Code: ll > /dev/ttyS0 But I am unable to see parallel ports I can see something like: Code: /dev/parport0 But when I try out: ll > /dev/parport0 It throws error.
I am trying to get two way serial communications going between a Windows XP system and a Linux system (RHEL 5).I have /sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0
in /etc/inittab. I am using a generic USB to serial adaptor on Windows (Unitek) and a null modem cable. I have putty configured for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit, no flow control.I get the login prompt from agetty in the putty window but input does not work; I see weird characters in the putty screen. I can echo output into the device from windows and see it, but
cat < /dev/ttyS0. just prints out weird characters from what I type.
I want to implement the following scenario :-[workstation1] <--ETHERNET-->[device 1]<--SERIAL-->[device 2]<--ETHERNET-->[workstation2]In short, a LAN over Serial link (RS-232 for instance).If there is a utility that offers such functionality, kindly give me the name, i've googled a bit, and found ser2net, but that only works with TELNETing.. i want it work like a normal LAN like file-sharing n all but over Serial.If there is no such software, then obv i have to program myself. regarding which i have more questions
I would like to be able to ssh to a TCP port on my server and be directly connected to the serial port @ 115200 Null modem config. Does any body know how one can do this?
We have a new machine with RedHat enterprise 5 on it. I need to connect a serial cable to the serial port and talk to another system (old alpha system) instead of using a VT connected to the alpha.Does RedHat come with anything like Keaterm/hyperterm/etc etc?
Hello. I want to use my Debian box as an internet connection for a Win95 laptop. The laptop is old enough that the only port I have available to connect to the internet from is the serial port. I have heard that a serial port redirector will allow it to access the internet through my debian box, but I have no clue how to set one up. Any advice. Thanks
I am trying to send text data from one PC to other using Serial cable. One of the PC is running linux and I am sending data from it using write(2) system call. The log size is approx 65K bytes but the write(2) system call returns some 4K bytes (i.e. this much amount of data is getting transferred). I tried breaking the data in chunks of 4K but write(2) returns -1.My question is that "Is there any buffer limit for writing data on serial port? or can I send data of any size?. Also do I need to continously read data from other PC as I write 4K chunk of data"Do I need to do any special configuration in termios structure for sending (huge) data?
I'm trying to set rxtxSerial to work so a Java app has access to a serial port (via SiLabs CP210x driver, port /dev/ttyUSB0). When I use update-alternatives --config java, there are 3 alternatives which provide `java'. I have tried openJDK and Sun. Both fail but with completely different messages.
I'm using CentOS 5.5. I connected serial terminal using "cu". The command I had given was "cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200". It connects I'm seeing the target boards boot-up messages and log in screen. But I couldn't type anything on "cu" terminal window.
I was trying out the parallel port communication on RHEL 6 but found it not working: #echo hello > /dev/parport0 write error :Invalid argument". #ll > "/dev/lp0" /dev/lp0:No such device or address
I have an application where I am sending data via serial port from PC1 (Java App) and reading that data in PC2 (C++ App). The problem that I am facing is that my PC2 (C++ App) is not able to read complete data sent by PC1 i.e. from my PC1 I am sending 190 bytes but PC2 is able to read close to 140 bytes though I am trying to read in a loop.Below is code snippet of my C++ AppOpen the connection to serial port
I am writing some application in C, which will access a serial port device (RS232). My application is working good. But if any other application is already opened the port, I couldn't able to identify that. In windows VB program, while accessing comport through mscomm control, i am receiving an error as "Port Already Opened". But in Linux environment, through C program how can i get that? I am accessing comport 1 as follows
I've got a box with 2 interfaces, with IP1 = 192.168.100.1 and IP2 = 10.1.1.1 respectively on them. I've got an iptables rule that looks like: Code: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.100.0/24 -d 10.0.0.0/8 -p udp -j SNAT --to-source 10.1.1.1 --random
If I get 2 consecutive packets from the same address and port from 192.168.100.0/24, they get SNAT-ed and come out of the same port on 10.1.1.1. If then I get another packet from the same address and port 10 minutes later, then it gets SNAT-ed, but comes out of a different port on 10.1.1.1. How can I set the time delay I would like iptables to remember its incoming address/port to outgoing port mappings?

I'm trying to connect to the internet though the terminal and I think i've determined my key is off.
Here is what I do:
Code:
So form this i go:
Code:
where the last four #### are actually the numbers but ii'm not sure if it's possible to reverse a wep. My connection uses wpa & wpa2 encryption but doesn't accept that key. I'm not sure what my key is supposed to look like or be but i'm pretty sure the key is whats keeping me from connecting. If I change my key while browsing the internet i can't get any information. So is it possible to just put in my pasword. Or what is the key supposed to look like?
Can anyone one give me some pointers please, for talking to a serial port, if I use cutecom it always returns "could not open /dev /tty0 or 1 or 3 or 4, even tried ttys0 etc
ive been looking through several online documents and forum posts but i cant get a clearcut answer on how to set up serial port acces in ubuntu 10.04 (server).
I have two usb2serial adapters connected to my PC with a null modem (I am doing some testing to learn serial comm for a particular application). I am writing to /dev/ttyUSB0 a trying to read /dev/ttyUSB1. I have used screen (screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200) and am able to see the characters being written. I am also able to read and write with Python with the following code
