RE: [ECOS] Read an string from serial port

[Michael Anburaj]

This may be due to difference in BAUD rate.

I don't know how you set the BAUD rate when using ‘echo’ command (May be it 
defaults to a known value, which may be different from what eCOS uses 
(38400)).

Use 'minicom' on linux, where you can specify the serial port parameters 
(like BAUD) & match things on both ends.


Cheers,
-Mike.

If it is baud rate, you can use the 'stty' command to change
serial port parameters on a particular tty from the shell.
stty works on the port connected to stdin, something like this:

stty speed 38400 cs8 -parenb -cstopb < /dev/ttyS01

should set 8/N/1.  There are a lot of other options dealing
with how input and output gets processed, see the info and
man pages for more.

[ECOS] Read an string from serial port

[Francesc Teixido Navarro]

Hi all,
	I'm trying to read an incomng string from serial port, it is
connected to a linux machine.
	The string is sent via "echo" command (echo <string> > /dev/ttyS1)
but in the board I only read unrecognizable data. Can anyone helps me??
what error I do??

	The idea is to read a binary file in the future.

					Thanks
	The code:
..................................
	int i;
	int length;
	//unsigned char *data;
	char data;
	cyg_io_handle_t hport;
	Cyg_ErrNo err;
	cyg_serial_info_t info;
	int len;

	//int data_size = 0xF;


	/*
	data = (unsigned char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * data_size);
	if (!data){
		printf("There's no suficient memory\n");
	}
	*/
///////////////////////////////////

	printf("Trying to open Serial Port ... ");
	err = cyg_io_lookup ("/dev/ser3", &hport);
	if (err != ENOERR){
		printf("KO\n");
	}
	printf("OK\n");

	printf("Get configuration ...");
	len = sizeof(info);
	err = cyg_io_get_config(hport, CYG_IO_GET_CONFIG_SERIAL_INFO,
&info, &len);
	if (err != ENOERR){
		printf("KO\n");
	}
	printf("OK\n");

	printf("Set configuration ...");
	info.baud=CYGNUM_SERIAL_BAUD_38400;
	info.stop=CYGNUM_SERIAL_STOP_1;
	info.word_length=CYGNUM_SERIAL_WORD_LENGTH_8;
	err = cyg_io_set_config(hport,CYG_IO_SET_CONFIG_SERIAL_INFO,
&info, &len);
	if (err != ENOERR) {
		printf("KO\n");
 		return;
	}
	printf("OK\n");

	printf("Trying to read Serial Port ...\n");
	length = sizeof(data);
	i = 0x0;
	while (1){
		printf("Linia: %d :\n", i);
		err = cyg_io_read(hport, &data, &length);
		printf("%c\n", data);
		i++;
	}

	//free(data);
}
