Hi, I am using the gumstix waysmall 400xm and I have been having some trouble with using the second serial port. I have the primary serial port connected to my computer to give me feedback. I have another serial cable attached from the second serial port on the gumstix to another serial device I have been trying to get the gumstix to communicate with. So far I haven't been able to communicate with the device. I was originally using /dev/ttyS1 @ 115200 baud but then I found out that the second serial port on the waysmall is a ST-UART port and is mapped to /dev/ttyS2. I changed the port but I still have no communication. I'm using code I wrote in python that I know works when I execute it on my laptop with the laptop connected to the device I'm trying to communicate with. When I execute this code on the gumstix I get a segmentation fault every time my program tries to import the serial module but after a few attempts the segmentation fault doesn't show up and the program begins executing as it normaly would. Could the problems with the serial module be the problem? I also noticed the kernel enumerating all the serial ports during boot. Is it possible that there is something I must do to initialize the second serial port on my waysmall? - Thanks Don Ebben --------------------------------- Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please?
