I am implementing a simple program in unix that takes a RS232 input and saves it into a file.
I've used these references: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Serial_Programming/Serial_Linux http://www.easysw.com/~mike/serial/serial.html
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc,char** argv)
{
struct termios tio;
struct termios stdio;
int tty_fd;
fd_set rdset;
FILE *file;
unsigned char c;
memset(&tio,0,sizeof(tio));
tio.c_iflag=0;
tio.c_oflag=0;
tio.c_cflag=CS8|CREAD|CLOCAL; // 8n1, see termios.h for more information
tio.c_lflag=0;
tio.c_cc[VMIN]=1;
tio.c_cc[VTIME]=5;
tty_fd=open("/dev/ttyS1", O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK);
speed_t baudrate = 1843200; //termios.h: typedef unsigned long speed_t;
cfsetospeed(&tio,baudrate);
cfsetispeed(&tio,baudrate);
tcsetattr(tty_fd,TCSANOW,&tio);
file = fopen("out.raw", "wb");
while (1)
{
if (read(tty_fd,&c,1)>0) {
fwrite(&c, 1, 1, file);
fflush(file);
}
}
//close(tty_fd);
}
I've tried at 921'600 bps and at 1'843'200 bps, and it works correctly. However, it does not work if I set-up a non-standard baud rate, for instance 1'382'400 bps.
i.e., this works: cfsetospeed(&tio,1843200); cfsetispeed(&tio,1843200);
but this doesn't (it gets random data): cfsetospeed(&tio,1382400); cfsetispeed(&tio,1382400);
What can be the problem?
I've tried with WinXP (using the WIN32 functions CreateFile, SetCommState and ReadFile), and it works correctly (with 1'843'200 bps and also with the non-standard 1'382'400 bps)
ps: if you ask why I need to set-up this non-standard baud-rate, it's because of a special machine that works only at this speed.
