New issue 3599 by stephane...@gmail.com: Serial Port http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3599
Hello We are developing software to interact with small robots for educational purposes. To do this we need to use the serial port. SerialPort class that includes Pharo does not work on mac or linux, because it?s not able to open ports by name.
FYI, the primitives for named serial ports are now in the standard VM (maybe not yet in Cog, but it is a small change). If someone would like to test on a Linux platform, try using any recent build of the standard VM or use the latest 4.4.7.2357 unix VM from http://squeakvm.org/unix/. The image changes to SerialPort are simple. You can either copy changes from Squeak or get the orginal change sets from the Mantis report at http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7266. The named serial port work was contributed by Severin Lemaignan <severin.lemaignan@laas.fr> and I helped with some of the integration. Anything that I did is MIT licensed. HTH, Dave
