Serial port support on Linux

[Harry]

Hi,

I noticed there is no serial port support on Linux, only Windows. Is
there any source available? Or I need to write my own?

Thanks,
Harry

This is not currently part of the open source (as you observed).

You would need to write your own if you really need it.  If you do create native support for serial on unix, please think about contributing the code to the project by submitting it to us.

Thanks,

You could start with the win32 code (src.zip\serial\native\win32\serial_SerialPort_win32.c).  Then look at the termios.h API and substitute the appropriate Linux calls for anything that is specific to win32. 

Here are some references that should help:
