You can then use your usual serial tools (cu, tip, +minicom, etc ...) on this pty as you would do on a real serial port on +your Unix workstation. +Included is an example loopback program for a pic18f (that is, it will +just echo back what you send it). tstloopback.c can be used along with +cu or tip (or possibly minicom) to copy an arbitrary file though the +serial port and the pic, which allows to check for data corruption +(if you notice that 0x11 and 0x13 characters get lost, check for +the XON/XOFF status of your pty :) + +This module has been developed for gpsim from CVS 20040816: +http://www-asim.lip6.fr/~bouyer/pic/gpsim-20040826.tar.gz + +For now this has only been tested on NetBSD. It should work without +much troubles on others BSDs. More work is needed for other unix-like +operating systems (probably require a usart_external.cc per pty style). + +Please address comments, bug-fixes or updates to Manuel.Bouyer@lip6.fr |
