Can't read from ttymxc0

[laza]

Hi,

I am using following code on Nitrogen Linux board to communicate over ttymxc0 with another device(TX,RX, GND only). The problem is that this code is working when built and run on desktop Ubuntu, but not on Nitrogen.

int set_interface_attribs (int fd, int speed, int parity)
{
  struct termios tty;
  memset (&tty, 0, sizeof tty);
  if (tcgetattr (fd, &tty) != 0) {
  printf ("error %d from tcgetattr\n", errno);
  return -1;
  }
  cfsetospeed (&tty, speed);
  cfsetispeed (&tty, speed);
  tty.c_cflag = (tty.c_cflag & ~CSIZE) | CS8;
  tty.c_iflag &= ~IGNBRK;
  tty.c_iflag &= ~(IXON | IXOFF | IXANY);
  tty.c_oflag = 0;
  // Timeouts are ignored in canonical input mode or when the NDELAY option is set
  tty.c_cc[VMIN]  = 0;    // wait 1st char received
  tty.c_cc[VTIME] = 10;   // or 1 second
  tty.c_cflag |= (CLOCAL | CREAD);
  tty.c_cflag &= ~(PARENB | PARODD);
  tty.c_cflag |= parity;
  tty.c_cflag &= ~(CSTOPB | CRTSCTS);
  // raw mode
  tty.c_lflag &= ~(ICANON | ECHO | ECHONL | ECHOE | ISIG | IEXTEN);
  tty.c_iflag &= ~(IGNBRK | BRKINT | PARMRK | ISTRIP | INLCR | IGNCR | ICRNL | IXON);
  if (tcsetattr (fd, TCSANOW, &tty) != 0) {
  printf ("error %d from tcsetattr\n", errno);
  return -1;
  }
  return 0;
}

Port is open with just O_RDWR flag and tcflush is done after setting port parameters.

Program get stuck on read but from /proc/tty/driver/IMX-UART it seems that both transmitted and received bytes increased.

Why doesn't read get these bytes?

Any suggestions on this?

I also tested communication with CuteCom (which I built on the board), but it hangs on read.

And I compared all members of termios structure between Nitrogen's ttymxc0 and my desktop ttyUSB0 and they match.

Thanks Gary,

but the key problem was getty instance which is started on ttymxc0.

I removed /etc/init/ttymxc0.conf and now it works.
