Re: [beagleboard] Serial Port over USB ttyUSB0 not initializing properly?
Hello Dave,
I encountered the same situation as Mikester. I have to open minicom first
of all. Then run my own program on Beaglebone. Or the system will show :
Resource temporarily unavailable. It seems like I have to set ttyO0 free
then I can use the read function.
My program can write HelloBeaglebone! to my laptop perfectly but it just
cannot read.
I am looking to your kind reply.

I seem to recall that modemmanager and/or brltty (on your host computer)
may cause access problems.
So one of the first things I do is to uninstall those 2 packages (this may
not be what you're running into, but I've been burned by it several times,
so I figured I'd mention it).
It looks like CLOCAL is turned off, which means that it expects modem
control lines to take effect (including carrier detect).
I've written a small sample program I call sertest which you can find here:
https://github.com/dhylands/projects/blob/master/host/sertest/sertest.c
It opens a serial port and takes any characters you type and sends them to
the serial port, and prints any received characters to stdout.
If you short RxD and TxD on your USB serial dongle, then you should be
able to see what you type.
Opening the serial port using O_NONBLOCK is desirable (otherwise you may
hang if the carrier detect isn't asserted), but it will cause the error
that you're seeing when you try to read data from the serial port.
You'll see here:
https://github.com/dhylands/projects/blob/master/host/sertest/sertest.c#L225
that I turn off the non-blocking behaviour after opening the serial port,
which means that the read will block instead of returning EAGAIN.
If you're still having issues, it would be useful if you could post the
code that you're using. You didn't mention which exact call was returning
the EAGAIN error.

Hi Mike, On Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 11:39 AM, Mikester mikester...@gmail.com wrote: Dave I appreciate the info. Unfortunately still no joy. I used int qsb = open(/dev/ttyUSB0, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NONBLOCK); fcntl(qsb, F_SETFL, fcntl(qsb, F_GETFL ) ~O_NONBLOCK); fcntl after my open() but the only result is that the process hangs indefinately and there is no output. If I run then kill screen before executing the code change works albeit much slower. Did I put the call in the wrong location? That looks right. I suspect that there is something wrong in other parts of your program. If you ask to read and there is no data available, then the read will hang until data is available. Can you post your complete source code? What type of device are you trying to connect to on the serial port? There are really only 4 ways to read data from the serial port: 1 - Using non-blocking (which means that read will return errno == EAGAIN when no data is available 2 - Use multiple threads (and noon-blocking reads). The tthread that reads from the serial port will hang, but the other threads will run. 3 - Use select to determine when data is available and then read 4 - Use a single thread and blocking reads - which will cause your program to hang. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

This happens because the serial port was opened using O_NONBLOCK. Opening with O_NONBLOCK is desirable, so you need to add fcntl(gsb, F_SETFL, fcntl(gsb, F_GETFL ) ~O_NONBLOCK); to turn off non-blocking mode once you've done the open. Then the read command will block and wait for the data, rather than returning EAGAIN if the data isn't ready yet. Also - In general I highly recommend that you put the port in raw mode. Otherwise if you're sending binary data you'll get a bunch of weird translations happening and your data will get corrupted. In canonical mode, it interprets things like backspaces, and may massage your CRs I use VMIN = 1 and VTIME = 0 which means that read will return as soon as a single byte is available, but it will return more if its available. So you may get less data that you asked for, but on the other hand if you ask for 6 bytes, it won't actually wait for 6 bytes to arrive. It kind of boils down to the type of error handling that you want to do. Here's a site that explains the VMIN/VTIME configuration: http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/termios-vmin-vtime.html -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.
