I have got a problem while reading from the serial port. I'm working on iMX-31 board and Eclipse IDE. Whenever I'm trying to read any data through the serial port, it's displaying I/O Possible and the application is being terminated. After reading I'm trying to write this data on a file. Here are the excerpts from the code:
# int main()

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
Code:
serialfd = open( serialPortName.c_str(), O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);

I am using read() in c++ to get data from a serial port. However, if no data is available on the serial port the function blocks until dta arrives.Example code:

I dont know if this is the right forum, But I try to find a solution, I want to intercept data from/to serial port without disrupting the software that manages the serial port, (I would like to save the data to a file or sent into a socket) I searched somes modules and programs (linspy, ttysniff, interceptty, maxty ...), A bit complicated (There are some diff. between kernel 2.4 and 2.6), So I'd like to change the serial port driver to intercept the "read" and "write " and do what I want with the data, I'd like to know what do you think about

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have connected a device to my linux system with a serial cable (rs232). The settings are: port /dev/ttyS0, baud rate=38400, data bits=8, stop bits=1, no parity, no hardware or software handshaking. I wrote a linux program that sends 1 byte to the device, but the device doesn't receive it. I know the serial ports are working because when I use the CuteCOM application to send data, the device DOES receive it, so obviously it is a problem with my code..

View 11 Replies View RelatedI am implementing a simple serial protocol where my ARM9 board, running Linux is communicating to a slave peripheral board. The Master sends a 12 byte data stream and the peripheral board returns status in a 23 byte response. The serial port is opened in raw mode. It works perfectly on 44 reads; however, on the 45 read the data returned from the read() is incorrect. I've framed what's being sent on an oscope and it is correct.The coincidence is that 23 x 44 = 1012. It's as though the receive buffer is 1K and when I go past the boundary I get bad data. The read following the bad one is good again.I've tried flushing the buffer before reading but get the same result.Here's the port initialization code:

trying read serial COM port and want to write that received data to file, now its writing only one sentence, but i want to write full file which coming on serial port, as i'm sending file from hyper terminal and reading on linux pc, If i put while loop its not writing anything,without while loop its writing only one line and if send big file then application terminates and then writes to file.But i need do write any size which coming on serial port.Finally i want write full file which is coming on hyper terminal, after writing the file it has wait for next data.

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
Code: import serial,time,sys
ser1 = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0',baudrate=115200)
ser2 = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB1',timeout=2,baudrate=115200)

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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write some code that interfaces with an AVR over a serial port. Basically I send a command then read the output which is 6 bytes. I need to receive all 6 bytes before the program continues. Is there a way to do this? If I use read() it returns -1 unless I add a delay before reading the port. Is there a way to get it to read the 6 bytes as soon as they arrive?In python you simply say how many bytes you want and the max time you are willing to wait which seems a whole lot easier than read
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application written in C (by somebody else) monitoring a device connected to a serial port. I'm using an old laptop w. tinycore linux for an os. The app works well enough, and the communication speed is relatively slow, 9600bps, unidirectional, comes in packets of 18 bytes. The app is just picking apart the packets and displaying the contents on a formatted screen (ncurses), updating about once every 1/2 second. The trouble is, the app is polling the serial port and using *all* of the cpu bandwidth. The cpu fan runs full bore all the time.
Other activities are sluggish when the monitoring program is running. I'd like to modify the app to be a little more intelligent, use a receive buffer and interrupts to trigger processing each packet and, most importantly, not poll in a tight loop waiting for data. I'm not sure where to start, but I'm convinced this isn't that complicated of a change. Is there a good resource that would explain the basics of reading data from serial port software buffers, triggering on interrupts and suspending or sleeping when no interrupt is pending?
I'm attempting to write an application that needs to read and reply to messages that will appear via 3 different methods:
1) Standard serial communications
2) TCPIP over serial via PPP
3) TCPIP over Ethernet
The problem is that I'd like for the application to be able to receive packets from any and all of the three interfaces simultaneously. I shouldnt have much trouble with performing #1 and #3 at the same time, as I think I can just get a file descriptor from termios and another for a socket and then use select to wait for data. But #2 is problematic.
First I dont know how to set up a socket that uses PPP as the data link layer. And secondly, (here's the big one) this PPP data is coming over the same port that the serial data is. There's no chance for data collision, and I am guaranteed not to receive another packet until I respond to the last one (in the same protocol at that) but incoming packets may or may not be PPP/TCP/IP framed.
My app will act like the PPP client, so I was just thinking "somehow" that I could run a standard termios application on the serial port which would begin to interpret the packet. If its PPP framed then it would have to get passed to a PPP client, which would be listening to my application rather than a physical port. And I have no idea how to do that. Is there an API available that will help me with the PPP packets?
How hard would it be to write a device driver that simulates a serial port. The device can listen on a real serial port, interpret its contents to an extent, and then distribute the incoming data to multiple "virtual" serial ports, which the main application can then listen to for incoming traffic.
I'm trying to open ttySx from an interrupt.the kernel crashes. is it possible to open/write to serial port from interrupts ? I think it crushes because when I try to open the device there is a mutex lock which cause the kernel to crash , am I right
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a web server running from a Windows 7 computer and recently moved everything to an Ubuntu server. All is set up and running smoothly. I do have one page that actually interfaces with the serial port. The only thing I do with it is to set the DTR pin to "true" which applies +12v to the pin. This activates a relay. It is very basic and simple. After moving everything to Linux, this page will no longer work. I knew this would happen. I know the page had code in it to call out "Com1" which would change to "ttyS0". It also had "set_serDTR(True);" in the code. I can't figure out how to get PHP to control the DTR pin on a Linux serial port.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been working on writing a small rs232 driver like minicom for months. I am almost there, I have the interrupt service routine running, I can read() ok. However when I write(), it returns the number of characters written, 1, but nothing is actually written out the port. I researched termios, and they say that serial port programming is really messy in linux/unix.
I am probably not setting up the port parameters correctly, or my write() function is not doing what it is supposed to. As I said, write() is returning successful. Other comm programs run ok (picocom & gtkterm) on my hardware. I am running knoppix/debian on an ancient computer. I saw other guys using slackware.

Basically I'm intending to write serial RX signal handler.Application receives defined packages of data over serial which contains header and payload. Handler should analyse incoming stream and upon detection of header (header is 6B in length) switches to receive payload of length defined in header, then after receiving full message packs it and sends to application for handling.Problem I'm facing is that at random moments in signal I receive errors that "Resource temporarily unavailable" while reading from ttyOx device and I see that sometimes I miss incoming data.Also is it possible that if while I'm handling signal one more signal arrives and it is started to be handled parallel? If it is, what are the ways to prevent it? So I would be sure that no more signals will fire on same peripheral until I will finish handling what I have on my hands now.

I'm working on program that is going through setting different baud rates onto a config file. After I set a new value i want to check if it's the correct one by reading from the serial port on the server unit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been reading data(non-canonical input) off a serial port in a loop. The device I am connected to sends the data in a bursty manner and I have to read using the loop. The device sends some data when initially powered on which I am supposed to read. I can then send "commands" to the device over the serial port. The "command" is supposed to be "debug d 35 5 0"After I send the command there is some data that is sent back by the device to show that the command was successful. This command should elicit the right response from the device but it responds correctly some times while other times it does not. (when I try to write the consecutive commands) If I send two consecutive commands after reading the initial data and the command feedback I face some problems.
