RE: [Paparazzi-devel] Re: karmic ftdi serial issue

[mark.griffin]

The updated/fixed FTDI serial driver compiled for i386 architecture is attached (ftdi_sio.ko).

 

You need to copy it to:  /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/

 

If you want to compile it for some other architecture, there are instructions at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1327965

 

Hopefully, this will be resolved soon in a kernel update.

 

Cheers, Mark

I updated Ubuntu from version 9.04 (Jaunty) to 9.10 (Karmic) using the Update Manager application and observed the same error message.

I then updated the FTDI drivers and the problem went away; it no longer exists. FYI

Poine, your solution seems to solve the problem for me. Do I commit 
this code or will it break something for everybody else ?

Hi,

I don't remember where these lines are coming from.

I can't do the tests: I don't get any problems on my freshly installed karmic :-(

 int fd = open(String_val(device), O_RDWR);

could someone see if replacing with

int fd = open(String_val(device), O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK);

would fix the problem ?

Pascal, any reason for opening serial ports in blocking mode ?
