Linux I/O port programming mini-HOWTO: Some useful ports. NextPreviousContents 6. Some useful ports Here is some programming information for common ports that can be directly used for general-purpose TTL (or CMOS) logic I/O. If you want to use these or other common ports for their intended purpose (e.g., to control a normal printer or modem), you should most likely use existing drivers (which are usually included in the kernel) instead of programming the ports directly as this HOWTO describes. If you want to control a mass-market device like a scanner (that has been on the market for a while), look for an existing Linux driver for it. Is a good source for more information on connecting devices to computers (and on electronics in general). 6.1 The parallel port The parallel port's base address (called ``BASE'' below) is 0x3bc for /dev/lp0, 0x378 for /dev/lp1, and 0x278 for /dev/lp2. In addition to the standard output-only mode described below, there is an `extended' bidirectional mode in most parallel ports.

Introduction[edit] Welcome to the wonderful world of serial data communications. This is a part of a series of articles that will cover many aspects of serial data communications. I am going to try and start from the beginning and follow a layered approach to working with serial data and by the time we are through we should be able to transfer just about any sort of data that you would care to send over wires between computers.
Possibly even without wires (wireless data communication). There are so many aspects about this subject that sometimes it is a very hard nut to crack. I'm going to dive down and try to start with the basics and introducing the RS-232 serial data communications standard. Why Serial Communication? First of all, the basic standards that I will be describing are, from the perspective of computer technology, positively ancient.
When all else fails, RS-232 serial communication can be relied upon. Serial data communication is widely implemented. Network Layers: Others[edit] RS-232 for Linux and WIN32. Here you can find code to use the serial port. It has been tested with GCC on Linux and MinGW on Windows. Handshaking or flowcontrol is not supported. It uses polling to receive characters from the serial port. Interrupt/event-based is not supported. Without modifications, this code uses 8N1 (8 databits, no parity, 1 stopbit). It is licensed under the GPL version 2. No serial port available on your computer? This is free software, it is experimental and available under the GPL License version 2.
Januari 31, 2014 new version: - Fixed a bug that made it impossible to read from the serial port on Linux 64-bit systems. December 26, 2013 new version: - added the function RS232_IsDCDEnabled() RS-232.tar.gz Extract the file and copy rs232.h and rs232.c into your project directory. RS232_OpenComport() Opens the comport, comportnumber starts with 0 (see the list of numbers). RS232_PollComport() Gets characters from the serial port (if any). RS232_SendByte() Sends a byte via the serial port. Serial Programming Guide for POSIX Operating Systems.

License Organization This guide is organized into the following chapters and appendices: What Is RS-232?
Flow Control. Program Examples. All examples have been derived from miniterm.c. The type ahead buffer is limited to 255 characters, just like the maximum string length for canonical input processing (<linux/limits.h> or <posix1_lim.h>). See the comments in the code for explanation of the use of the different input modes. I hope that the code is understandable. The example for canonical input is commented best, the other examples are commented only where they differ from the example for canonical input to emphasize the differences. The descriptions are not complete, but you are encouraged to experiment with the examples to derive the best solution for your application. Don't forget to give the appropriate serial ports the right permissions (e. g.: chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS1)! 3.1. 3.2. In non-canonical input processing mode, input is not assembled into lines and input processing (erase, kill, delete, etc.) does not occur. If MIN > 0 and TIME = 0, MIN sets the number of characters to receive before the read is satisfied. 3.3.
