Simple serial port demonstration with boost asio asynchronous I/O
A couple of weeks ago I posted a simple asynchronous demonstration of a telnet client using boost asio TCP network code. I have changed this code to turn it into a simple serial terminal application using the serial port support in the new version of boost asio. It required no changes at all the the read or write code. I just altered the initialization to use a serial port instead of a socket. Note that this is not intended to show how a fully functional application would work. There are plenty of areas that are not handled in this code. But it shows the idea and it's easy to build on this once you've got it working. Hope this helps someone else get started... Jeff
Once again a nice example. On line 34 just change: if (not serialPort.is_open()) to: if (!serialPort.is_open()) The CMakeLists.txt file I posted in your telent client thread also works here by changing two lines, line 1 the project name and line 92 the source file. These are good convincing demonstrations of the utulity of asio! Thanks Andrew On Tue, Oct 7, 2008 at 12:27 PM, Jeff Gray <jeffg@magellan-technology.com> wrote:

Jeff, I am writing to get your permission to use your simple serial port example, minicom, based on boost::serial_port in my open source project. Your example was most useful and the only example that I could find that would adequately show an effective way to use serial_port and also boost::asio::io_service with it. I have based the structure of my implementation on what you have done with some adaptations. For your information, my project will be licensed under the Simplified BSD License.
