Hi Dave -
I can't comment on the POSE question, but in regards to accessing a CF
serial card from you app for debugging: yes, the "easy" way is to convert to
the new serial manager. At least it's easy ounce you're converted.
There is a CF Library that is intended for use by I/O card driver
developers. It lets you turn on/off the card and get information about its
attribute and common memory base addresses. If you have technical
information about your serial card, you could use the CF Library to turn on
the card, setup the UART registers yourself, then use simple polled serial
routines to do debug printing. Most CF serial cards use a 16550-type UART,
so once you know where the registers are located in the card memory space,
you can use a book on PC serial programming to write your debug print
routines.

Subject: Re: Debug with CF Serial
I starting to look like that what has to be done. I just wanted to avoid
rewriting the app using the new serial manager (for now). I was hoping for
a quick way to start debugging today. Still cant use POSER to debug. BTW:
anyone know any tricks to get the serial routines to return something other
than 0 when executing on POSER? SerReceiveCheck and SerReceive always
return 0 on POSER but work flawlessly on the device.

hardware, and
then use the "regular" serial port for debugging. No hacking required.
Already had a cable for the card when it was used to develop <gulp> the CE
version.
