[ECOS] how to use flag O_NDELAY and O_NONBLOCK in eCos serial port programming

[ECOS] how to use flag O_NDELAY and O_NONBLOCK in eCos serial port programming

[Indra Antonius Simalango]

dear all,

Below are my quote snippet. It would open a serial fax device as a file.  
It returns the file descriptor on success or -1 on error.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <stdio.h>   
#include <string.h> 
#include <unistd.h> 
#include <fcntl.h>   
#include <errno.h>  
#include <termios.h>

int main(void)
{
	int fd;
	fd = open("/dev/ser1", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
    if (fd == -1) {
	perror("open_port: Unable to open /dev/ser1 - ");
    }
    else fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, 0);
	return (fd);
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've got an error message while compiling and linking it :

   testserial.c:11: 'O_NDELAY' undeclared (first use in this function)
   testserial.c:11: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
   testserial.c:11: for each function it appears in.)

I've read some "Posix Serial Communication", and then try to replace 
O_NDELAY by O_NONBLOCK. There's no error message after compile and link. 
But when executing on my target pci386, it got an error message :

   open_port : Unable to open /dev/ser1 - Invalid argument

Is flag O_NONBLOCK really an invalid argument to open a serial port on 
eCos? Or maybe there's another way to do this.

Thank you.

Hi,

Try reading this:
