Contents.Step 0: Note whether your Raspberry Pi has Wireless/Bluetooth capabilityBy default the Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi Zero W devices use the more capable /dev/ttyACM0 to communicate over bluetooth, so if you want to program the serial port to control the IO pins on the header, you should use the auxiliary UART device /dev/ttyS0 instead. On these wireless devices, it is possible switch the GPIO serial port back to /dev/ACM0 with `/boot/config.txt` directives by disabling bluetooth with `bdtoverlay=`pi3-disable-bt` or by forcing the bluetooth to use the mini-UART with `dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt`.
See for details.Step 1: Connect to a terminal emulator using a PCFollow the instructions at, and, so that you end up with your Pi's serial port connected to a PC, running a terminal emulator such as minicom or PuTTY.The default Wheezy installation sends console messages to the serial port as it boots, and runs getty so you can log in using the terminal emulator.

I am not really familiar with reading and writing thru /dev/ttyS0, but I assume you simple echo to it and read from it and everything else is handled on a lower level by the device driver.First question is of course if the serial port is configured correctly at works at all. You can connect pin 2 and 3 of the serial connector on the PC as to make a loopback plug. Everything you write to the port should be echoed and read again by your script.If this does not happen, it is useless to try to talk to the inverter.If this works, are you sure that there is no additional protocol being used to talk to the inverter?
Often it is something like STX at the beginning, some DLE's and EOT's at the end of the transmission, often with checksums etc.Also a great help is a device called break-out box or Interfaker which has LED's for all important serial signals, and you can force signals like DTR and DSR active or inactive. With the LED's you can see if anything is transmitted ar all and if the status of the handshake lines is satisfactory.jlinkels. I've made some progress. I'm getting data back from the inverter now. Turns out that one of my x01 needed to be x00. This caused a problem with null characters, but printf solved that. The problem I'm having now is that I appear to be getting 'random' responses from the inverter.
I get different length responses (anywhere between 1 and 5 bytes) and almost never the same response twice. The fact that I'm getting anything at all indicates that my message TO the inverter is working. If I change it to a badly formatted message (such as changing the last byte to a incorrect checksum) I get nothing.
Linux Serial Port Binary Data Chart
So, here's what I have (the commented line is what I expect). If I understand your code (I'm not a bash scripter),you stop when there's nothing to read (eol=$? And test $eol).This however does not mean that you have received a complete message (you might be reading to early). So if you know that a message has a fixed length or a specific terminator, I would read till you have the full message (count bytes or set n to 8 or OneByte equals whatever) and ignore $eol for that purpose.What probably happens now:the second time you run the program, you still receive data from the previous run.Hope this helps.
Hi 01000111,I got a similar situation in reading binary data with my embedded Linux environment. Since this sytem is ARM based I can't do the reading wit a C-program because of the missing cross toolchain for mipsel.So I try to read via the shell but can't get any succsess.My Inverter sends every 4,8 seconds the PV data without beeing polled like in your example. In the other times there are fill bytes send. My problem is that my inverter sends binary data and no linefeed or CR. I have to check every byte to see if this is the start of a PV-Record but can't get any byte read in via my shell.My version of the read also don't supports the -d command so I can't use the startbyte as a line delimiter.I just want to continious read from the tty-port one byte, but can't get any of it.Did you get your environment to run?I there just someone here in the forum that can help me on this?Doing a:cat /dev/ttyS0 hd -c(assuming there is permanent binary data with no LF or CR)RegardsWolliK. Thank you for your answers. OK, i know that with some other programing languages it could be done more easily.But I'm not a programer, and I'm not very familiar with Linux programing.So what would you suggest me to use?
I need really a simple program, that would continuously read from serial byte by byte and write to text file. That's all.all other work is already done.I'm doing my thesis at faculty and this is just some part. I'm doing something completely different and this reading from serial is just a small sub-problem.Would anyone help me with that? With the port in raw mode, the port should not wait for line terminators. In that case, I think read will get however many bytes are waiting in the receive buffer. How are the replies from your device delimited? Generally, these kinds of devices either send some kind of terminator, or send chunks of fixed-size data.
If I understand your code correctly, you terminate reading data byte-at-time and appending to $InStr as soon as read times out once. Are you sure that your timeout is not too short? Would it make more sense to compose your $InStr until it of the length you require?- rod.EDIT: Crap! I just replied to the OP, which probably doesn't apply to the person who first necroposted to this thread.The answer to his/her question cannot be given without more information, whihc should be provide by starting a new thread, with more details.
The serial console programs¹ you'll use on the other end of the connection will have some way to send a file to the remote side. How exactly you go about it depends on what resources you have available on the remote system.I Have lrzsz or kermit on the Remote SideThe easiest case is if you have a solid binary file transfer program installed on the remote side such as. Basically you have to use pre-internet methods to transfer over a serial tty, and you must have a way to receive the transfer on the other side. Obviously the best way to do this is by using ZMODEM, which means you need to have a tool like sz already on the receiving end. However this isn't always possible, for example, when the receiving target is a router without a network.The only possible way to do this transfer is directly over the channel, using terminal safe ASCII, in pre-8-bit clean style. I'm going to use more modern tools, that I'd hope are installed on most systems.Sender:First we encode our file base64 file.tar.gz file.tar.gz.b64Now make sure your com send-file command is, ascii-xfr, this was my connection command line picocom -f n -p n -d 8 -b 115200 -send-cmd 'ascii-xfr -snv' /dev/ttyS0Normally we want ascii-xfr on the receiving side, but since we don't have it, that -n works around this by maintaining correct line endings.Receiver:Now that we've connected, go to the directory where you want the received file.
Cd /tmp/cat file.tar.gz.b64On picocom, I just CTRL+a+s, and enter the full path of the file I'm sending. Once the transfer completes, you'll need to CTRL+c to break that cat.Now we decode the file, base64 -d file.tar.gz.b64 file.tar.gzDo whatever you can to verify that file is IDENTICAL to the one you sent, because an ASCII transfer has no checksum protection. My receiving box had sha512sum, but any checksum command would suffice. Once you manually confirm the sums match, you can assume the transfer was successful! Don't know if this would work if all you had was a serial console, but if you have network access at all, then you could use nc(1) to copy files using TCP/IP. 2613 serial life ok.

# WARNING: Depending on your setup, this could make your system [email protected] # nc -l 8675 dd of=/dev/[email protected] # dd if=/dev/sdYYY nc destination-box.local 8675In the above example, I cloned sdbYYY from a source box to sdaXXX of the destination box. My choice of 8675 for a TCP port number was arbitrary; you could use any port you have access to. And it doesn't have to be a device; it can be any file. [email protected] $ nc -l 12345 /.ssh/[email protected] $ cat /.ssh/idrsa.pub nc destination-box.local 12345In the second example, I copied my rsa public key ( /.ssh/idrsa.pub) and added it to the authorized keys file for the target host.
Which is correct too: the or is only 0 for 00 at its inputs.2005-11-20: I've installed Fedora core 4 Linux in 64 bit version on a athlon64 (3300) upgraded PC, and wondered what to do about (currently) the lack of windows (the old XP gives a blue screen in seconds.) to drive the parallel port programmer cable, and found out there is a good tool to replace IMPACT to do the actual programming of the xilinx or the flash memory, which is called xc3sprog which when compiled (also on 64 bit OS) nicely works by using.
