How Do I Redirect Stdout?
There are two ways to send data out the serial ports:
Method 1, Redirect stdout and use printf( ) and iprintf( )
Redirecting Stdout:
-------------------
#define DEBUG_SERIAL_PORT (1)
#define DEBUG_BAUDRATE (115200)
#define DEBUG_STOP_BITS (1)
#define DEBUG_DATA_BITS (8)
int fdserial_debug=OpenSerial(DEBUG_SERIAL_PORT,
DEBUG_BAUDRATE,
DEBUG_STOP_BITS,
DEBUG_DATA_BITS,
eParityNone);
ReplaceStdio(1,fdserial_debug); // 0=stdin, 1=stdout, 2=stderr
printf("No we're using printf()!\r\n");
NOTE: THIS REDIRECTS ALL printf() CALLS
Method 2, File descriptors and write( )
Using a file descriptor:
------------------------
#define DEBUG_SERIAL_PORT (1)
#define DEBUG_BAUDRATE (115200)
#define DEBUG_STOP_BITS (1)
#define DEBUG_DATA_BITS (8)
int fdserial_debug = OpenSerial(DEBUG_SERIAL_PORT,
DEBUG_BAUDRATE,
DEBUG_STOP_BITS,
DEBUG_DATA_BITS,
eParityNone);
char buf[80];
sprintf(buf, "Data sent to com2\n");
write(fdserial_debug, buf, strlen(buf));
