Send and read info from a Serial Port using C?

[cesar7160]

I can send correctly, but I can't read.

Can you give me any code, ideas, and links.

Thanks

no, you need to give US code... as in, the code you're trying to use, so we can see why it's not working.

but since you say it's transmitting properly, the first thing I would do is verify the hardware is connected correctly and is working as it should. put an o'scope or serial analyzer on the RX pin to make certain you're actually receiving anything before indicting the program.

This is the code I'm using:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <poll.h>
#include <atc_spxs.h>
#include <errno.h>

int fd_biu;

void abre_biu()
{
atc_spxs_config_t sync_config;
sync_config.protocol = ATC_SDLC;
sync_config.baud = ATC_B9600;
sync_config.transmit_clock_source = ATC_CLK_INTERNAL;
sync_config.transmit_clock_mode = ATC_CONTINUOUS;

fd_biu = open("/dev/sp3s", O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK);
if ( fd_biu < 0 )
        {
           printf("Can't open /dev/sp3s");
exit( EXIT_FAILURE ); // SHOULD NEVER GET HERE!
}

if ( ioctl(fd_biu,0,&sync_config) < 0 )
{
            printf("Can't set /dev/sp3s port settings to SDLC at 9600" );
exit( EXIT_FAILURE ); // SHOULD NEVER GET HERE!
      }

}

pckt[1] = 0x83;   // control byte is always 83

pckt[4] = 0x00;

write(fd_biu, pckt, 8);

usleep(5000);
len = read( fd_biu, &pckt, 8);
//len = read(fd, &buf, count);
    
if (len == -1)
    printf("read() failure, errno = %d\n", errno);

for ( i = 0; i < len; i++ )
{
printf("resp 3 pck[%d] = %02x\n", i, pckt[i]);

}
  
//if ( len < 0 ) printf("Error reading from BIU 4\n");
}
