Serial problem with RO 5.24 on Raspberry Pi3 Model B+

Hi,

I was wondering if there are more people who are having trouble with getting the serial port working under RO 5.24.
Frank from riscos.be has the same problem.

If you have the simple program as :
REM >OpenTest
lock = OPENUP
BPUT#lock,“Hello World”;
CLOSE#lock
PRINT "Hello end "

Riscos simply hangs. If you remove the line BPUT#lock,“Hello World”; there is not problem. But also not very usefull.
I have submitted a bug report

It’s best to wrap code in <pre> and </pre> tags to stop Textile messing with it.

Risc os simply hangs

This is little consolation, but all versions of RISC OS have done that out of the box if you don’t have anything connected to the serial port. We used to wire the plug specially to stop it!

The more sensible option is to use OS_SerialOp,0 to tell the Serial system to ignore DSR and CTS – if either of those is high then the transmit will block.

Hi Nemo,

Well that fixed the problem for me. That was hit the user to continue. Thanks for that.
I also have to work on my code for the MiniUART then because there is something wrong there….
