Resending again :-( Why does the RTL mailing list reject my postings all the time ? I do not have an attachment this time, please look at the web-page listed below. Here's my old message: Dear All, there is a new rt_com pre-release. Due to Roberto Finazzi there is fundamental progress: The main capabilities added are the followings: - Now you can set port and irq addresses for a com even from user module (see rt_com_set_param). In this case the port region request isn't performed by init_module but at the end of this function. - You can set many functioning mode of the hand shake signals. It is possible to make a communication without any hand shake signals (only RXD, TXD and GND connected) or you can also have an automatic hardware flow control by RTS-CTS signals. - It is possible to make a clear of input and output buffer (the characters stored in the fifos also). - You can read the amount of free space remaining in output buffer. - You can read or write all the hand shake signals (DTR, RTS, CTS, DSR, RI and DCD). - You can have the last error detected by UART (Receive data overrun, Parity error, Framing error, Break detected) and by software (input buffer full). Please check it out and send your feedback. Moreover I started to updated the web page at http://www-public.rz.uni-duesseldorf.de/~jochen/computer/software/rt_com/ Please tell me your thoughts. Also send in all FAQs (including answers) you think are wortwhile to include.
