Hi all,

I am also interested in serial ports for a student project.
What I understood so far:

-�A patch as been in integrated in 1.3
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1057
@Bill, what are the differences with your code?

- the standard VM (Squeak-4.2.5beta1U for me as a Mac user) should be OK
primitives in the SerialPlugin are:

00001230 T _primitiveSerialPortFindNamesPlusKeys
00001410 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixCfgetispeed
00001618 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixCfgetospeed
00001820 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixCfmakeraw
000019f8 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixCfsetispeed
00001c74 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixCfsetospeed
00001ef0 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixClose
00002038 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixErrno
00002108 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixOpen
000022e8 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixRead
000025ec T _primitiveSerialPortUnixSizeOftermios
000026b0 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixTcdrain
000027f8 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixTcflow
0000296c T _primitiveSerialPortUnixTcflush
00002ae0 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixTcgetattr
00002d34 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixTcsendbreak
00002ea8 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixTcsetattr
00003128 T _primitiveSerialPortUnixWrite
0000342c T _primitiveSerialPortUnixioctl

Students will tests that soon.

Cheers,

#Luc

Sorry I wonder the primitive is placed in
libSerialPlugin.a
this are the function I found in the
Content/Linux subdirectory

e
08102f10 t primitiveSerialPortOpen
08102df0 t primitiveSerialPortRead
08102cc0 t primitiveSerialPortWrite
08105980 t primitiveSocketBindToPort
081055c0 t primitiveSocketConnectToPort
08104b40 t primitiveSocketListenOnPort
08104a00 t primitiveSocketListenOnPortBacklog
08104830 t primitiveSocketListenOnPortBacklogInterface
08104670 t primitiveSocketLocalPort
08103e60 t primitiveSocketRemotePort
08102630 t secCanConnectToPort
081025d0 t secCanListenOnPort
081034a0 T serialPortClose
081030d0 T serialPortInit
080d9a90 T serialPortMidiClockRate
08103210 T serialPortOpen
08103190 T serialPortReadInto
081030b0 T serialPortShutdown
08103120 T serialPortWriteFrom


The code in Pharo is:
<primitive: 'primitiveSerialPortOpenByName' module:'SerialPlugin'>
So hasn't there �a function with that name?


Regards
Friedrich
