LazSerial and DataModule Problem
« on: December 12, 2019, 04:18:15 pm »
Hi All,

First of all, thanks for readme, and if its posible, to help me.

Here is my Scenario:

I have a Main application, that call a Library that take care of devices tha uses Serial Comunication, due to I'm using LazSerial component

On Windows, the systems Works OK
Main application, and Library (.dll)

On Linux:
Main application, and Library (.so)
The Main initialize the Library OK, with no errors. Call to the Serial Connection, define connection conditions like Port, Baud, etc, and Open It.

The Unit (serial1) received the ONSTATUS event like HR_Connect, immediatly received an interruption again, with code HR_SerialClose, after that, the event call DataPortSerial unit (compiles with LazSerial) and on the line 332 -> FSerialClient := TSerialClient.Create(True);

The system Hangs, probably jumping to the Sky. No more answer to nothing, keyboard do not responde, and on debuggin, only solution, to stop it.

My first confession : My knoledge about Linux is pretty close to ZERO.

All comments, suggestions and critics Will be appreciated.

I've commented on my code all ones, that on my opinion was irrelevant, but feel free to ask any thing you consider important. 

THANKS IN ADVANCE

I wasn't even aware of that package. I normally use the standard serial.pp unit which comes with FPC, I know it works since I was the last person to do any maintenance on it.

Thanks for your prompt response, any clue where I can start? the documentation is very high level for my knowledge,

Again thanks, now we have an start point

Well, I can't really comment on LazSerial or any of the other high-level ones since when I worked on serial.pp it was specifically to support low-level stuff: at the time I was working on a serial port monitoring program to allow me to reverse-engineer the protocol between two HP instruments (which were actually serial port monitors :-) What I can say is that it works equally well in both the main (GUI) thread or a background thread, and that it was tested against Linux, Solaris and Windows.

/If/ you decided to take a look at it, what I'd suggest is that you went through a sequence of simple steps: open a port, check the handle is valid, set the port parameters (without hardware handshake), transmit a sequence of bytes, close the port. Then start looking at reception, but READ THE COMMENTS in the serial.pp file.

On linux, the kernel has a lot of hardware "tweaks" for the serial port which generally speaking are accessed via fpIoctl() calls applied to the handle you get back from SerOpen(). Hopefully you won't need them, but they're there if you do.

Thanks a lot for your proposal. I'll take a look for that way, and of course, post the result.

If you have a problem raise it here, and if I don't respond PM me to make sure I've seen it. Reading a port lacks a peek (i.e. non-destructive read) function, and lacks a blocking single-byte read, but since the unit is basically a thin wrapper around kernel operations they're not difficult to add. There's some things that aren't easy: a few weeks ago I was looking at a modem simulator to allow me to test other code and I had to give up on auto-speed detection since there wasn't an easy way to preserve parity and framing information.

Here's a very simple (and somewhat simplified) program reading test data from an attached single-board computer:

Code: [Select]
  serialHandle := SerOpen(ParamStr(1));
  if serialHandle < 1 then begin
    WriteLn('Cannot open "' + ParamStr(1) + '"');
    Halt(2)
  end;
  try
    if ParamCount > 1 then
      bps := parseBps(ParamStr(2));
    if bps <= 0 then begin
      WriteLn('Cannot parse speed "' + ParamStr(2) + '"');
      Halt(3)
    end;
    SerSetParams(serialHandle, bps, 8, NoneParity, 1, []);
    WriteLn('Port ' + ParamStr(1) + ', ', bps, ' BPS, ^C to terminate.');
...
    while true do begin

// This is intentionally simplified. Get output working first, then we'll deal with input.

      if SerRead(serialHandle, thisCh) < 1 then begin
        WriteLn('Device read failure');
        Halt(4)
      end;
      case thisCh of
        #$0d: begin
...
  finally
    SerClose(serialHandle)
  end
end.

just if any have the same problem, was moved to use laz_synapse directly

Thanks to all of you for help.
