Sertool - serial device configure tool

Intro

The tool consists on a program that sets or gets the different parameters of a serialX device.

The tool can:

1. Set parameters
2. Get parameters
3. Clear the rx software fifo
4. Send and rcv msgs through ioctl (instead of standard read(), write())

Installation

Clone from here. Run make.

Usage

Arguments:

-s | --set -> set parameters
-g | --get -> get parameters
-c | --rx-buf-clear -> clear rx sw fifo
-n | --send-msg -> send-msg through ioctl
-v | --rcv-msg -> rcv-msg thourgh ioctl

When sending a msg, specify the msg to send.
When receiving a msg, specify the amount of bytes to rcv.

When -s is set, user has to define what to set:
-b | --baudrate -> set baudrate
-d | --data-bits -> set databits
-p | --parity -> set parity
-o | --stop-bits -> set stop-bits
-r | --rcv-timeout -> set rcv-timeout (in ms)
-x | --xmit-timeout -> set xmit-timeout (in ms)

Examples

Set baudrate:

> #sertool -s --baudrate 115200 /dev/serial0

Get parameters:

> #sertool -g /dev/serial0

Clear rx software fifo:

> #sertool -c /dev/serial0

Send msg:

> #sertool --send-msg Thisisamsg /dev/serial0

Receive msg (receive 8 bytes):

> #sertool --rcv-msg 8 /dev/serial0

TO DO

• Readme.md
• Makefile portable (should work native and cross build)
• travis.yml
• Add fifo configuration
