Well, there are lots of tricks. you can test manually by using |
| 7 |
something like this: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
echo "bla" > /dev/ttyS0 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
to a minicom session running on that port, for example. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Another tool to experiment with serial ports is |
| 17 |
sys-apps/setserial. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Minicom is your friend for setting and then testing |
| 21 |
various baud rates, port selections and parity too. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Something like this might help? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
ls -l /dev/* | grep ttyS0 |
| 27 |
|

You gotta be more specific on your exact issue.... |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
You can alway munge around in /dev, just for learning |
| 34 |
about such minutia.... |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Oh, and you issue might be related to UDEV..... |
| 37 |
Or the beautiful thing we call HAL.... |
