How to detect the address bit

USB Devices
1

I am communicating with a protocol thats uses 1 start bit, 8 data bit, 1 address/data bit and 1 stop bit (No parity). The address/data bit is used to identify the start of a frame In the first byte, in each frame the address/data is 1. The rest of the bytes in the frame is 0.

In the protocol specification, it says: “A great number of single chip micro processors from various manufactures are able to detect this address/data bit”

How/can I detect this address/data bit in Linux?

Linux dosnt support 9 data bit as standard. I have tryied pretending that the address/data bit is a parity bit instead. To make this work i would have to use Mark or Space parity. Im having a really hard time making space and mark parity work in my program. I know that Linux have implementet the command CMSPAR (termios.h), but it dosnt work very well with me.
It could really help if someone posted a code example, using space/mark parity. Also a list of what files and what there should be in them so I can use this parity.

I have to read AND write with the protocol.

Any help at all, is very welcome

Hey userid0

Thank you for the code sample. Very nice of you.
But it didnt work for me. Maybe its the way I open the serial port:

[i]
static int com1 = 0;
struct termios com1_termios;

int ComSetting::openAdrPort(char com1Number)
{
char com1navn[64];
printf("Port: %c
", com1Number);
sprintf(com1navn, “/dev/dg/dgnc/ttyn1%c”, com1Number);
printf("Portnavn: %s
", com1navn);

// make sure port is closed
CloseAdrPort();
// make sure RTS is low
dropRTS();

com1 = open(com1navn, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY |   O_NDELAY);//| O_NONBLOCK |

if (com1 < 0)
{
    printf("Open error com %d %s

", errno, strerror(errno));
}
else
{
fcntl(com1, F_SETFL, 0);
tcgetattr(com1, &com1_termios);

    bzero(&com1_termios, sizeof(com1_termios));
    com1_termios.c_cflag = B75 | CS8 | CRTSCTS | CLOCAL | CREAD;
    
    com1_termios.c_iflag = INPCK | PARMRK;
    com1_termios.c_oflag = 0;

    // set input mode (non-canonical, no echo,...)
    com1_termios.c_lflag = 0;

    com1_termios.c_cc[VTIME] = 1;   
    com1_termios.c_cc[VMIN] = 0;   

    tcflush(com1, TCIFLUSH);
    tcsetattr(com1,TCSANOW,&com1_termios);
}

return com1;

}[/i]

Hello,

Is it possible to send me your code samle for using the 9. bit as command(mark)/data(space) bit flag instead for parity checking ? Thanks in advance.

dear userid0/newbie/AndersH:
i come across the same problem. Can you send me a sample code of mark and space parity ?
Any help is very welcome!

Due to a large demand, here is the code sample for mark and space parity in Linux with the dgnc driver (NEO and ClassicBoard adapters):

int SetParity(int parity)

{

int result=0;

if (fd < 0){

return -1;

}

// Get original settings

result=tcgetattr (fd, &options);

switch (parity) {

case 0: options.c_cflag &= ~PARENB; break;

case 1: options.c_cflag |= PARENB;

options.c_cflag &= ~PARODD; break;

case 2: options.c_cflag |= PARENB;

options.c_cflag |= PARODD; break;

case 3: //options.c_cflag |= PARENB;

options.c_cflag |= CMSPAR;

options.c_cflag |= PARODD; break;

case 4: //options.c_cflag |= PARENB;

options.c_cflag |= CMSPAR;

options.c_cflag &= ~PARODD; break;

default:

return(-1);

}

if (-1 == tcsetattr (fd, TCSADRAIN, &(options))) {

return -1;

}

return 1;

}
