C serial port programming
I have two c program files, which is send.c and read.c.
Here is my send.c:
#include <stdio.h> /* Standard input/output definitions */
#include <string.h> /* String function definitions */
#include <unistd.h> /* UNIX standard function definitions */
#include <fcntl.h> /* File control definitions */
#include <errno.h> /* Error number definitions */
#include <termios.h> /* POSIX terminal control definitions */
/*
* 'open_port()' - Open serial port 1.
*
* Returns the file descriptor on success or -1 on error.
*/
int main(void)
{
int fd; /* File descriptor for the port */
fd = open("/dev/ttyS1", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
if (fd == -1)
{
// Could not open the port.
perror("open_port: Unable to open /dev/ttyS1 - ");
}
else
fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, 0);
char *DATA="7E 40 09 00 BE EF 05 7D 5D 06 01 02 03 04 05 7E\r";
int n = write(fd, DATA, strlen(DATA));
if (n < 0)
fputs("write() of bytes failed!\n", stderr);
printf("Data is written...\n");
return 0;
}
Here is my read.c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
/* baudrate settings are defined in <asm/termbits.h>, which is
included by <termios.h> */
#define BAUDRATE B115200
/* change this definition for the correct port */
#define MODEMDEVICE "/dev/ttyS0"
#define _POSIX_SOURCE 1 /* POSIX compliant source */
#define FALSE 0
#define TRUE 1
volatile int STOP=FALSE;
main()
{
int fd,c, res;
struct termios oldtio,newtio;
char buf[255];
/*
Open modem device for reading and writing and not as controlling tty
because we don't want to get killed if linenoise sends CTRL-C.
*/
fd = open(MODEMDEVICE, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY );
if (fd <0) {perror(MODEMDEVICE); exit(-1); }
tcgetattr(fd,&oldtio); /* save current serial port settings */
bzero(&newtio, sizeof(newtio)); /* clear struct for new port settings */
/*
BAUDRATE: Set bps rate. You could also use cfsetispeed and cfsetospeed.
CRTSCTS : output hardware flow control (only used if the cable has
all necessary lines. See sect. 7 of Serial-HOWTO)
CS8 : 8n1 (8bit,no parity,1 stopbit)
CLOCAL : local connection, no modem contol
CREAD : enable receiving characters
*/
newtio.c_cflag = BAUDRATE | CRTSCTS | CS8 | CLOCAL | CREAD;
/*
IGNPAR : ignore bytes with parity errors
ICRNL : map CR to NL (otherwise a CR input on the other computer
will not terminate input)
otherwise make device raw (no other input processing)
*/
newtio.c_iflag = IGNPAR | ICRNL;
/*
Raw output.
*/
newtio.c_oflag = 0;
/*

*/
newtio.c_lflag = ICANON;
/*

in the comments, but we don't need them here
*/
newtio.c_cc[VINTR] = 0; /* Ctrl-c */
newtio.c_cc[VQUIT] = 0; /* Ctrl-\ */
newtio.c_cc[VERASE] = 0; /* del */
newtio.c_cc[VKILL] = 0; /* @ */
newtio.c_cc[VEOF] = 4; /* Ctrl-d */
newtio.c_cc[VTIME] = 0; /* inter-character timer unused */

newtio.c_cc[VSWTC] = 0; /* '\0' */
newtio.c_cc[VSTART] = 0; /* Ctrl-q */
newtio.c_cc[VSTOP] = 0; /* Ctrl-s */
newtio.c_cc[VSUSP] = 0; /* Ctrl-z */
newtio.c_cc[VEOL] = 0; /* '\0' */
newtio.c_cc[VREPRINT] = 0; /* Ctrl-r */
newtio.c_cc[VDISCARD] = 0; /* Ctrl-u */
newtio.c_cc[VWERASE] = 0; /* Ctrl-w */
newtio.c_cc[VLNEXT] = 0; /* Ctrl-v */
newtio.c_cc[VEOL2] = 0; /* '\0' */
/*
now clean the modem line and activate the settings for the port
*/
tcflush(fd, TCIFLUSH);
tcsetattr(fd,TCSANOW,&newtio);
/*

exit the program.
*/
while (STOP==FALSE) { /* loop until we have a terminating condition */
/* read blocks program execution until a line terminating character is

to the actual number of characters actually read */
res = read(fd,buf,255);
buf[res]=0; /* set end of string, so we can printf */
//printf(":%s:%d\n", buf, res);
int bufsize = 46;
int k=0;
int i;
for (i=0;i<bufsize;i++)
{
if (buf[i]=' ')
{
k++;
}
if (k==3)
{
printf("Proto %s\n", buf);
}
}
//printf("%s", buf);
//if (buf[0]=='z') STOP=TRUE;
}
/* restore the old port settings */
tcsetattr(fd,TCSANOW,&oldtio);
}
The output is:
Proto 40 09 00 BE EF 05 7D 5D 06 01 02 03 04 05 7E
May I know how can I just print out and nicely with expected output "Proto = 40"?

Or to make it clearer, I have a send.c.
I want to send: "7E 40 09 00 BE EF 05 7D 5D 06 01 02 03 04 05 7E".
But at the read.c, I want "Proto = 40" as the output.
Currently in my program, the output is:
"Proto 40 09 00 BE EF 05 7D 5D 06 01 02 03 04 05 7E".
Please help me...
