Serial Port Programming Part 8 - DTR and DSR

-
DTR and DSR are two control signals used by DTE(PC) and DCE(modem) to indicate they are alive.

DTR (Data Terminal Ready):

 Connected from DTE to DCE. This pin is output on DTE and input on DCE. High on this pin indicates that the DTE is alive and Low on this pin indicates that there is some problem with the DTE. When the terminal (PC) is turned ON, after going through self-test, it asserts the DTR signal.

DTR is present on pin20 of DB25 Connector and Pin4 of DE9 Connector.

DSR(Data Set Ready):

 Connected from DCE to DTE. This pin is output on DCE and input on DTE. High on this pin indicates that the DCE is alive and working and low on this pin indicates the problem with DCE. When the DCE(Modem) is turned ON, after going through self-test, it asserts DSR to indicate that it is ready to communicate.

DSR is present on pin6 of DB25 Connector and Pin6 of DE9 Connector.

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

PR, PN and PV Variable in Yocto

-
PN : Represents the name of the recipe. The name is usually extracted from the recipe file name. PR:  Represents the revision of the recipe. Default value for this revision is "r0". Subsequent revisions of the recipe conventionally will have "r1", "r2" and so on. PV:  Represents the version of the recipe. Normally extracted from the recipe file name. For example: ffmpeg_3.4.2.bb recipe. ${PN} : ffmpeg ${PV} : 3.4.2
