 |
|
Hi,
I have a program that (so far) only runs under windows wine/cxoffice. This app needs to communicate with an external device through a rs232 port. My linux-box however has no serial ports. So I got me a usb-serial cable, compiled and loaded the modules.
lsusb:
| Code: | pl2303 18628 0
usbserial 24544 1 pl2303
|
dmesg:
| Code: | usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usbcore: registered new driver usbserial
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core v2.0
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for PL-2303
pl2303 2-2:1.0: PL-2303 converter detected
usb 2-2: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new driver pl2303
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver v0.12
|
so it seems that hardware an driver-wise all is correct.
in cxoffice config I put:
| Code: |
[serialports]
"Com1" = "/dev/ttys/USB0"
|
The applications however still refuses to communicate with the external device through the com1 (/dev/ttyUSB0). On my desktop PC which has a rs232 port, the app does communicate with the device under cxoffice. So the problem seems to be the usb-serial conversion?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

The serial port handling of wine has changed. The config file is not used any more (for versions 0.9.x)
The correct way to assign a physical serial port to wine, is using symlinks in the directory ~/.wine/dosdevices
Make a symlink, com1 to /dev/ttyUSB0 (or to your tty device).

OK, thanks.
It's confusing since the com port allocation is still in the cxoffice config file. |

Thank you for this solution! I've been dualbooting my system only to download PBX databases via RS232, thanks to you, I no longer need to reboot!
