[PATCH] atmel_serial: RS485: receiving enabled when sending data

From: Bernhard Roth
Date: Mon Aug 15 2011 - 10:37:57 EST


Hello!

By default the atmel_serial driver in RS485 mode disables receiving data until all data in the send buffer has been sent. This flag allows to receive data even whilst sending data. This is very useful to

- check if the data has been sent correctly over the RS485 bus
- assure that no collision happened
- check for short circuits/termination issues on the RS485 bus

Usually this functionality is realized by hardware, wether controlling the RX-Enable pin of the RS485 transceiver with RTS (driver control signal) or pulling it LOW permanently. The present atmel_serial driver makes this impossible, thus requiring following patch.

Usage example:

struct serial_rs485 rs485;

memset(&rs485, 0, sizeof(rs485));
rs485.flags = SER_RS485_ENABLED | SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX;
ioctl(fd, TIOCSRS485, &rs485);




atmel_serial: RS485: receiving enabled when sending data

By default the atmel_serial driver in RS485 mode disables receiving data until
all data in the send buffer has been sent. This flag allows to receive data
even whilst sending data.
