Linux - serial port read returning EAGAIN...
- by Andre
Hello all!
I am having some trouble reading some data from a serial port I opened the following way. I've used this instance of code plenty of times and all worked fine, but now, for some reason that I cant figure out, I am completely unable to read anything from the serial port.
I am able to write and all is correctly received on the other end, but the replies (which are correctly sent) are never received (No, the cables are all ok ;) )
The code I used to open the serial port is the following:
fd = open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK | O_NOCTTY);
if (fd == -1)
{
Aviso("Unable to open port");
return (fd);
}
else
{
//Get the current options for the port...
bzero(&options, sizeof(options)); /* clear struct for new port settings */
tcgetattr(fd, &options);
/*-- Set baud rate -------------------------------------------------------*/
if (cfsetispeed(&options, SerialBaudInterp(BaudRate))==-1)
perror("On cfsetispeed:");
if (cfsetospeed(&options, SerialBaudInterp(BaudRate))==-1)
perror("On cfsetospeed:");
//Enable the receiver and set local mode...
options.c_cflag |= (CLOCAL | CREAD);
options.c_cflag &= ~PARENB; /* Parity disabled */
options.c_cflag &= ~CSTOPB;
options.c_cflag &= ~CSIZE; /* Mask the character size bits */
options.c_cflag |= SerialDataBitsInterp(8); /* CS8 - Selects 8 data bits */
options.c_cflag &= ~CRTSCTS; // disable hardware flow control
options.c_iflag &= ~(IXON | IXOFF | IXANY); // disable XON XOFF (for transmit and receive)
options.c_cflag |= CRTSCTS; /* enable hardware flow control */
options.c_cc[VMIN] = 0; //min carachters to be read
options.c_cc[VTIME] = 0; //Time to wait for data (tenths of seconds)
//Set the new options for the port...
tcflush(fd, TCIFLUSH);
if (tcsetattr(fd, TCSANOW, &options)==-1)
{
perror("On tcsetattr:");
}
PortOpen[ComPort] = fd;
}
return PortOpen[ComPort];
After the port is initializeed I write some stuff to it through simple write command...
int nc = write(hCom, txchar, n);
where hCom is the file descriptor (and it's ok), and (as I said) this works. But... when I do a read afterwards, I get a "Resource Temporarily Unavailable" error from errno.
I tested select to see when the file descriptor had something t read... but it always times out!
I read data like this:
ret = read(hCom, rxchar, n);
and I always get an EAGAIN and I have no idea why.
All help would be appreciated.
Cheers
