Subject: Serial error
> I'm trying to talk to a Magellan GPS sled for the Palm Vx.
>
> My load of the serial library works OK and my initialisation of the port
> (serDefaultSettings + 4800 baud) succeeds ... ie, they return zero.
>
> However, when I attempt to read from the port, via SerReceive10(), I get
an
> error code of 774. According to errorcode.prc, this means ...
>
> serLineErr ("Serial: line error(0x0306))
>
> Can someone suggest what kinds of things could cause this error code to be
> returned? Any ideas on how to go about debugging it?
>
> I realise I'm using the old serial manager library. I'm happy to move to
the
> new one if this problem is inherently to do with using the old one, but if
> not, I'd prefer to stick with this code, rather than having to write and
> debug some new code.
>
> I've used this code successfully to talk to the Palm sitting in its
cradle,
> by copying /dev/tty into the appropriate serial port device (yes, I'm on
> Linux).
>
> TIA.
