Re: help-serial driver for linux

[Dirk Zimoch <dirk.zimoch@psi.ch>]

Hi,

use asynDriver <http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/soft/asyn/> and set up a 
serial port like this:

drvAsynSerialPortConfigure ("serialport","/dev/ttyS1")

Use the name "serialport" (or whatever other name you chose) to reference the 
serial port in any device support that talks to asynDriver.

For an introduction on asynDriver, see 
http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/docs/USPAS2007/lectures/ASYN.ppt or
ftp://ftp.desy.de/pub/EPICS/meeting-2007/asynDriverIntroduction.pdf and of 
course the documentation that is included in asynDriver.

Maybe, you want to use StreamDevice 
<http://epics.web.psi.ch/software/streamdevice/> on top of asynDriver.
