I 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..
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

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:
//------------------------------------------------------------
char m_readBuffer[255] = {0};
char* p_curChar = m_readBuffer;

I got across a peculiar problem with memcpy.History:writing a code which do flash/Read functionality for SPI Parts.
Implementation:
1.memory map the Flash chip registers to userspace. - fine
2.Issue block read command
3.Just print the data I got, using the memory mapped address - fine I got the correct data.
4.Copy the data to a local buffer from memory mapped address using memcpy - FAIL
UPDATE:
on SUSE 11.3 -32 bit the above code worked perfectly, but on SUSE 11.4 - 64bit , Ubantu, Fedora it failed.
I am using gcc compiler obviously. I am using i386/x86_64 OS. Processor: Intel core 2 duo, SNB after step 4 , when I dump the data from local buffer every thing is FF.But step 4, if i implement byte by byte copy using assignment operator, it worked.is there any known bug with memcpy? am I missing anything?
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

After establishing such a connection what I need to do? My aim is to send a byte of information in Linux.
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.

While reading data, if I send my data(which is a 13 byte structure) periodic with a period of 1 second for 10 times I read it without problem and I read the data 10 times as I sent and as I expectBut if I send data continuousuly(without any time interval between each sending) 10 times I can only read 1 of them(I can only read it once).

Since the entire project is running on Linux, I need to port the windows code to Linux. At the present moment, I already can receive the data from each of the 3 sensors, but the info is coming concatenated! Tracking down the original windows code, I found that it is probably happening cause I didn't ported these lines to my Linux version:

I 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:
Code:
int initport(int fd)

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 searching for an interprocess communication that is platform and language independent and is two way communication among different processes and the most important thing is the ipc should have the ability to store data until the receiver receives it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 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
