Issue with read() and flush()

[jeff.hatton at L3Harris.com]

Hello,

I am working on a project that uses the RTEMS OS on a Leon3 processor. I am trying to read/write from a UART that is connected up through the termios interface. It works for the most part but I am running into an issue with flushing and reading from the UART. It seems if I read a small portion of the data use read() then flush then read again there is still data returned. Is this expected behavior? If so is there any way to clear out whatever is cached in read?



Pseudo Code

Open UART with open("/dev/console_b", O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK); setup terminal into raw mode with cfmakeraw() and tcsetattr(fd,

TCSADRAIN,term)

Setup the UART into loop back mode so its TX data is looped back into its RX Write data into UART with write(fd, "TEST",4) Read a single character with read(fd, buff, 1); buff will contain "T" here flush buffers with tcflush(fd, TCIOFLUSH) Read a more from UART with read(fd, buff, 3); Would expect nothing is returned here but "EST" will be returned.
