Hi,
How can I access serial port by programming? The serial ports may be accessed by using the device special file, /dev/ttyS[01]. Also look at the termios(3) man page. The key to serial port programming is to first set the speed, parity, echo et. al. to what you want. Also make sure that there is not a getty process running on that port.
Several years ago, I was doing a satellite communications software via the serial port, and to test it, I set up a loop back on ports 0 and 1. (This was complicated because it was on a 64 bit Alpha where the 2 serial ports used a single 25 pin connector, so I had to hand craft my null modem. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
