serial to usb on fit_pc slim
Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2011 11:14 pm
I'm attaching a serial device (rs232) through an adapter to a usb port on a fit-pc slim. I have done this on at least 20 different computers and versions of linux with no problems. The problem with the fit-pc is that the reading of the port hangs. Maybe 0 characters (all ascii), part of a line, or a full line of data. But then if it does read more than one line, it will read data continuously for days with no problems.
I've tried using both "cat /dev/ttyUSB0" or a "c" program. I have tried different usb2serial adapters, different baud rates from 115200 down to 38400 and each of the 3 usb ports. on the fit-pc.
I have checked all the options with the stty command and see nothing out of place.
I'm lost as what to try next.
Any help will be appreciated.
