Write and read functions for RTEMS

[Michel Macena]

Sorry for asking again, but I think I can now elaborate better my issues.

I've been trying to make the ERC32 read the serial port. First I tried to
use C basic functions such as getchar and gets, and they worked (like a
read function in blocking mode).
However I want to use read and write functions. The write function worked
but  the read function didn't work and I guess that there are configuration
issues. I have the source code of the rdbmon monitor used in the board. I
saw that it uses the write function to the terminal (Serial A) as something
write(1,&char_var,1) and uses the read and write function for the debugging
channel (Serial B) as something as write(3,&char_var,1) and read
(3,&char_var,1). So the file descriptor 1 is for terminal and the 3 is for
the debugging channel. I'm interested in communication through the
terminal, so I used the write functios as write(1,&char_var,1) and it
worked.  I tried the same for the read function but no success, ir returns

I know that in linux for example, I can have a blocking read function or a
non-blocking one using an assynchronous file descriptor and using a signal
(interrupt-like) to get when
there are available bytes in the UART buffer. I tried to open a file
descriptor with something like

> fd=open("/dev/console_%c", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY)

 as I saw in RTEMS Uart loopback example. However it returns an error ( I
don't remember exactly now because I don't have access to the lab at the
moment). I suspect that rdbmon opens
the terminal first to post the board initial message and when I try to
open, it blocks a second instance. The problem that as I haven't choose the
opening mode I can't configure it
termios-like properly.

Another issue:
I have a sample code here with  an isr routine, the rtems_interrupt_catch
function is called in the Init function and it is associed with the ERC32
UART A Data readyTransmitter ready trap. I noticed that isr is executing
whether there is data to send or receive, but I want it to  work just when
there is data to receive. If something is printed before it executes
indefinitely and I can't properly use a read function in this case. It is
worth to say that there is an ERC_Unmask command for the UART A interrupt
in the Init function.

Sorry for the long text, hope can someone help. Thanks !
