GetUartErrorReg for PK70 Quad Uart blade / Break detection

Post by mrchadwickusa »

Hi All,

Before I go to the trouble of figuring out how to add this to the driver, I thought I'd ask if there is a GetUartErrorReg function for the PK70. Calling the existing GetUartErrorReg with the file descriptor for the open PK70 ports returns -1, SERIAL_ERR_NOSUCH_PORT. Which makes perfect sense, looking at the code.

More specifically, I need to generate and look for a break on the Quad Uart blade. I found PK70QuadSendBreak which sends a rough break. Though not timed to multiples of a full character time, I think it can work in my situation. I still need a way to detect a break.

If anyone has a recommendation on the best way to do that, I would be much obliged.

Thanks!

Mike Chadwick
