hi everybody,
i wonder if you could help me with the problem i have with a usb serial device (ttyUSB). i have a newly designed usb token that looks like a flash memory(it is used for security issues like digitally sign or something like that).
it works when we try it under windows :
i mean for testing it, i open the device and then write 3 bytes on it ('0', '1', '2') and it should give you back 5 bytes that can be read from the device ( 'a', 'm', 'n' , ...). it can be done under windows as my colleages did.
but in linux it doesn't : i mean i can write 3 bytes but there would be nothing in the device too read after that.
i don't know what is the problem, maybe the driver is not appropriate for this device, i use usbserial generic driver ( usbserial.ko module) and and attach the device by this command to "/dev" :
(suppose i am root, and my system is ubuntu 9.4)
modprobe usbserial vendor=0xe854 product=0x1138 debug=1
and after this ttyUSB0 would appear by command "ls /dev" :
.
.
.
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2009-08-08 12:14 ttyUSB0
.
.
.
and "dmesg" tells me after modprobe :

so then i go and test the devce by "test.c" :
Code:
#include<stdio.h>

#include<sys/stat.h>

//end3
foo=tcsetattr(tty,TCSANOW, &tty_opts);
if(foo<0) return -4;
return 0;
}
int tty_test_connection(int tty)
{
int foo;
char buf[5]={0,1,2,0,0};
foo=write(tty,buf,3);
if(foo<0){
perror("write");
return foo;
}
if(foo==0){
puts("nothing written");
return foo;
}
L0:
foo=read(tty,buf,3); //mc should return 2 bytes p and \0
if(foo<0){
perror("read");
return foo;
}
if(foo<2){
puts("less then 2 bytes was red");
return foo;
}
buf[foo]='\0';
printf("ping was: %s\n",buf);
return foo;
}
int main(int ac,char *av[])
{
int tty_dev;
int foo;
tty_dev=0;
tty_dev = open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
if(tty_dev < 0){
perror("open");
return -1;
}
puts("open: ok");
foo=tty_set(tty_dev);
if(foo<0){
perror("tty_set");
close(tty_dev);
return -1;
}
puts("tty_set: ok");
foo=tty_test_connection(tty_dev);
if(foo<0){
perror("tty_test_connection");
printf("foo: %d\n",foo);
return -1;
}
printf("tty_test_connection: %d characters red\n",foo);
close(tty_dev);
return 0;
}
it Prints:
open: ok
tty_set: ok
less then 2 bytes was red
tty_test_connection: 0 characters red
and after i run my test (test.c ) , dmesg prints this:

it seems that the device will be closed before reading the data from device.
