Dear All,
I would like to bring to your attention some issues that we are facing while setting up IP520 with AVME 9600 for serial ports with
1) vxWorks 6.9.4.1 2) EPICS 7.0.7
3) asyn-R4-42
4) ipac-2-16
5) ip-R2-21-1
6) compiled on the host running CentOS Stream 9
Here is the part of the startup script we used to set the serial with IP520:
ipacAddAvme96XX("0x0800,4 R”)
IP520Drv(1) IP520ModuleInit("UART1", "232", 0x81, 1, 0) IP520DevCreate("serial9", "UART1", 0, 512, 512) drvAsynSerialPortConfigure("serial9","serial9",0,0,0) asynSetOption("serial9", -1, "baud", "9600") asynSetOption("serial9", -1, "bits", 8) asynSetOption("serial9", -1, "parity", "none") asynSetOption("serial9", -1, "stop", "1") asynSetOption("serial9", -1, "clocal", "Y") asynSetOption("serial9", -1, "crtscts", "N") asynOctetSetInputEos("serial9", -1, "\r") asynOctetSetOutputEos("serial9", -1, "\r”) With the above settings, everything works fine in terms of communicating with the serial port both with loopback and with any device. Then we found that if we change the baud rate setting of the serial port in any of the following ways the communication stopped working: 1) Change the baud rate settings through asynRecord.adl after booting vxWorks with 9600bps as shown in the settings above. 2) Boot vxWorks with a baud rate setting of the serial port other than 9600bps. The only way to make the serial port work again is to reboot the vxWorks with the baud rate of 9600pbs. We tried to look at the signal from IP520 using an oscilloscope and we found that the signal out of IP520 changes normally as the baud rates are changed. Hence, we suspect that the problem is with the reading of the signals by IP520 when set up with baud rates other than 9600bps. Did anybody try other baud rates than 9600bps with IP520?
