Re: Writing Virtual Serial Comm port Driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,
 
1. I looked at Linux Device Drive 3rd Edition for TTY driver. I tried with tiny_tty driver mentioned in book. I am able to open the /dev/ttty0 and also get the attribute using TCGETA ioctl from user space. As I am trying to write e.g. echo "hi" > /dev/ttty0. I am not getting any data in tiny_write function.
 
2. Any information on when to use function related to flushing the data  as flush_chars, wait_until_sent etc.
 
Any information on above will be helpful.
 
Thanks.
 
Regards,

Yes, it's not that hard.

What specific problems are you having?
Have you tried starting with the tiny-tty driver in the Linux Device
Drivers book?

thanks,
