Have you tried using strace on your executable to see what is happening
behind the scenes ?

Besides that I don't see any C++ in the below C code, it's obviously the same problem as so often if people are doing their first steps with read(), select() and similar. ;)

I suggest to read up about O_NONBLOCK in order to avoid all the problems if blocking I/O calls are handled wrong.

We just updated the OS from Ubuntu 12 to latest Ubuntu 14.04 with 3.14.37
kernel.
Since we are using UART4 and ADC, we had to update the initialization, but
it appears to be working. Doing a 'cat
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage0_raw', we get the ADC results.

However, sometimes, we get 'Resource temporarily unavailable' when reading
from that file. The cat survives it and just exits. The problem is that we
use the following C++ code to read the analog value from file

     int fp = 0;
     char pathTmp[128] = {0};
     char readBuffer[10] = {0};
     int ret = -1;
     int adcVal = 0;

     ret = sprintf(pathTmp,
"/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device%d/in_voltage%d_raw", 0, inputNum);
     fp = open(pathTmp, O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);
     if (fp < 0)
     {
         printf("Failed to open %s\r\n", pathTmp);
         return -1;
     }

printf("_aR");

     fd_set read_fds;

     FD_ZERO(&read_fds);
     FD_SET(fp, &read_fds);

     struct timeval timeout;
     timeout.tv_sec = 0;
     timeout.tv_usec = 1000;

     if (select(fp + 1, &read_fds, NULL, NULL, &timeout) != 1)
     {
         printf("_aT!");
         close(fp);
         return -1;
     }

     if (read(fp, readBuffer, 5) < 0)
     {
     printf("Failed to read\r\n");
     close(fp);
     return -1;
     }
     close(fp);

printf("_aC");

     adcVal = atoi(readBuffer);

In this code, the execution just randomly hangs on executing 'read'
command (the buffer size doesn't effect), but as more tasks (ROS nodes) are
executed on BeagleBone, earlier it happens.
The problem is that when the application hangs at 'read' command, the
whole ROS node hangs...

We have checked the source code of 'cat' command and it doesn't have
anything obviously different than what we are using.

Does anybody has any idea on how to proceed?

Matevž
