Subject: [Gumstix-users] Serial port programming problem (someone please help)


I have a piece of code that configures a radio transceiver connected to a serial port (see below). I can run this on my Fedora Core 2 box with no problems. When I cross-compile it and run it on the Gumstix (/dev/ttyS3 HWUART), the read() operations always fail. I put a serial sniffer online and can see that the gumstix is transmitting the right data and that the radio module is replying correctly. These replies, however, never make it into my serial port's input buffer. Can anyone offer any help at all? I've spent several days trying to solve this one and could really use a bit more sleep! Thanks.
