Serial Port Programming Part11 - stty tutorial

-
stty is used to

  • display the current terminal settings
  • Modify the terminal settings
Display all settings: stty -a
The above command displays settings of tty device attached to your shell
If you want to find out the settings of another device file,  specify the device file name using '-F' option

stty -F -a /dev/ttyUSB0


Set/Clear a particular setting:

To clear a particular setting, add a '-' in front of the setting.

For example, to disable hardware flow control, you need to run 

stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 -crtscts

To enable the setting, dont add '-' in front of the setting


stty  -F /dev/ttyUSB0 crtscts


Changing the baud rate:

stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 <new baud rate>




Store/Restore Settings:

stty allows you to save settings for you to restore later.

'stty -g' command will display settings in a format which you can use pass later to stty

bb.utils.contains  is most commonly used function in Yocto. grep in poky directory returned with 696 count. $ grep -nr 'bb.utils.contains' poky/ | wc -l 696 It's definition is present in 'poky/bitbake/lib/bb/utils.py' file This function returns third argument if the second argument is subset of the first argument else returns fourth argument Let's take an example to understand this. You can see from the above screenshot, when the second argument is a subset of first argument, "present" was returned, else "notpresent" was returned We can also use bb.utils.contains inside if loop. This we can use inside a recipe. if ${@bb.utils.contains('SOMEFLAG','NEWVALUE3','true','false',d)}; then     FOO = 'HELLO' fi

Building the Linux Kernel is a two-step process: Configuring the Kernel options Building the Kernel with those options. There are many methods available for configuring the kernel. make config: Text-based Configuration.  Options are prompted one after another. All options need to be answered Access to former options is not possible make menuconfig: Menu-driven user interface Allows to navigate forwards and backward directly between features Allows to load and save files with filenames different from ".config" Provides search feature It uses ncurses library for GUI. If the ncurses library is not installed, make menuconfig option fails. To install ncurses library on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev make defconfig: Creates a ".config" file with default options from the ARCH supplied defconfig Configurations are generally stored in the directory: arch/$(ARCH)/configs $ ls arch/x86/configs/ i386_defconfi...

PREFERRED_PROVIDER and PREFERRED_VERSION in Yocto

-
Image
When we run "bitbake <target>", bitbake looks at the PROVIDES variable of each recipe to find out the recipe for the particular target. The Default value of PROVIDES is PN. PN --> Name of the Recipe PV --> Version of the Recipe PR --> Revision of the Recipe PREFERRED_PROVIDER: Sometimes a target can have multiple providers. PREFERRED_PROVIDER determines which recipe should be given preference when multiple recipes provide the same item. E.g. virtual/kernel, u-boot will be provided by multiple recipes PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-imx" PREFERRED_PROVIDER_u-boot = "uboot-imx" This should be written in local.conf or machine.conf PREFERRED_VERSION: When multiple versions of  a recipe are available, this variable determines which recipe should be given preference. If we don't state the version, bitbake will pick up the highest version. E.g. PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-imx = "3.10.17-1.0.0" PREFERRED_VERSI...
