SerialPortEmulator

This is a serial port emulator. This is done by creating pairs of ports on /dev where writing data on one port can be read on the pair and vice-versa.

Installation

1. Install the dependencies. On your Debian-like Linux machine, run:

sudo apt install python3-serial linux-headers-`uname -r` gcc binutils make

2. Inside the driver folder, run:

make clean all
sudo make modules_install
sudo make install

3. Set read and write permissions on the pairs of devices to be used

Example: for the EmulatedPort 0 device:

sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyEmulatedPort0
sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyExogenous0

Uninstallation

Inside the 'driver' folder, run:

sudo make uninstall

Use

After the installation, by default, it will be instantiated on /dev many pairs of devices:

• /dev/ttyEmulatedPort0 <---> /dev/ttyExogenous0
• /dev/ttyEmulatedPort1 <---> /dev/ttyExogenous1 ...

And so on. Writing on one device will make its content ready to be read on the other pair, and vice-versa.

You MUST at least open the other pair port to start sending data to it.

Example

In a terminal window, execute the command below to put the emulated port waiting for incoming data

Open another terminal window and run the below command. On the first terminal Window. It should appear the message.
