select API time out on 9600 baud rate - linux

I am reading the data from the serial/UART, with 9600 baud rate (my 115200 baud rate is working fine)
I wrote the below code, but the select API every time gives time out, it requires timeout more than 2 seconds, that is not desirable. As I have 2048 bytes of data so within 100 ms I should able to get some data, but I think select API is not receiving interrupts, even though Rx buffer of serial has some data to process.
NOTE: the same piece of code working fine on beaglebone black, while not on intel atom-3900 / Kernel used is Linux-intel 4.9.
Thanks for the anticipation
code:
int main(void)
{
int ret;
char buf[1280];
fd_set m_Inputs; // fd_set for the select call for com input
int m_maxFD; // max FD for select() call.
struct timeval tv;
/*Open Serial port in non blocking mode*/
int fd1;
fd1 = open("/dev/ttyS1", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NONBLOCK);
/* get the termios structure */
struct termios options;
tcgetattr(fd1, &options); // Get the current options for the port...
// Set the baud rates...
cfsetispeed(&options, B9600);
cfsetospeed(&options, B9600);
// Enable the receiver and set local mode...
options.c_cflag |= (CLOCAL | CREAD | CS8);
options.c_cflag &= ~PARENB; // ignore parity
options.c_cflag &= ~CSTOPB; // 1 stop bit (2 if set)
options.c_cflag &= ~CSIZE; // clear the size bits
options.c_cflag &= ~CRTSCTS; //No hard flow control
options.c_cflag &= ~HUPCL; //Hang Up on last Close
options.c_cflag |= CS8; // reset the size to 8 bits / char
options.c_cc[VMIN]=1;
options.c_cc[VTIME] = 1;
options.c_oflag = 0;
options.c_lflag = 0; //ICANON;
// Set the new options for the port...
tcsetattr(fd1, TCSANOW, &options);
cout << endl << "FD1 = " << fd1 << endl;
while (1)
{
fd_set rfds; // fd_set for the select call for com input
FD_ZERO(&rfds);
FD_SET(fd1, &rfds);
tv.tv_sec = 0;
tv.tv_usec = 100000;
ret = select(fd1 + 1, &rfds, NULL, NULL, &tv);
if (ret > 0)
{
ret = read(fd1, buf, 127);
buf[ret] = '\0';
cout << buf;
}else{
cout << "Time OUT" << endl;

Segmentation Fault Error When Reading Two Serial Port with BeagleBone Black

I am getting Segmentation fault error while reading two diffentent serial communication line with using Debian GNU/Linux 7.4 on Beaglebone Black. One of them is CAN-BUS data. I am using Waveshares RS485/CAN CAPE module for this with using can-utils package. "https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils/blob/master/candump.c"
CAN log file
And the other one is UART data by a GPS module called uBlox GY-NEO6MV2 module. For the GPS I have this code which works perfectly;

And for the CAN logging I am using the code in the link above. What I try to achive is logging two data in to same log file. I modified the code above a little to get the datas only that I need; which is timestamp and location coordinates.
GPS edited data
GPS module gives data every second so I am triyng to get one data from GPS and attach it to the next 1000 CAN data then write in to a .log file then read a new value from GPS. GPS modules communication bitrate is 9600kbps and CAN bitrate is 125000 kbps. GPS is connected to UART2 pin, CAN to UART1. When I try to combine two code into one I get the Segmentation fault error. I made a little research its UNIX error code while violeting the restiricted memory space. But these two codes works perfectly when working seperatly. This is where I got stucked.
The code I tried to merge is like;

Actually everything matters works in while(running) block. Inside this block when I make the bytes_read = read(fd,&read_buffer,42); as comment, it didn't write anything but also doesn't give the Segmentation fault error. Same also happens when I connect the GPS' TX pin in to BBB. So the problem starts to occur when the data is coming from the GPS and read by the BBB.
Segmentation Fault Err
What should I do about it?
Thanks.
Your GPS reading code
char new_read[38];
char curr_read[33];
strcpy(curr_read, new_read);
is copying a 38 char buffer into a 33 char buffer, which can result in bad things.
Strcpy will copy the contents of the source buffer into the destination buffer until it reads NULL from the source buffer. If the NULL char is at the 36th position in new_read, strcpy will be writing in random memory which can cause the segmentation fault.
I am guessing that when you run your GPS reading code as stand-alone, the writing into random memory goes un-noticed, but when you combine it with the CAN bus reading, it writes into allocated space and the error happens.

How to connect a bluetooth input device to a computer?

I have created a bluetooth input device (stylus) and would like to connect it to both a Mac and Windows (and preferably Linux in the future).
Is there an ideal software / language to use to create a cross-platform application? I have considered writing native applications for each, but I don't feel the application will be so complex that this is absolutely necessary.
The application will take the input data of the BT device and use it to move the cursor around the screen and provide click and pressure functionality.
Thank you in advance.
I don't know how you device is set up.
However, if you managed to put on it a PIC (Such as the Arduino ATMega328) with at least one serial interface, you could be able to connect it to your PC via Universal Serial Bus (USB).
After that you will be able to open a pipe to your device in many languages.
C is always a good choice both for Linux and OS X, using POSIX libraries will make it even easier.

Objective-C (OS X) has got a good library which works like a charm (ORSSerialPort)
However, if you would like to have a cross-platform solution, Java is the best choice either for Windows, OS X and Linux.
I hope this helped you and others to get started.
Feel free to PM me if you need further help.
Best regards.

Serial port in Cygwin

I'm trying to write a program to interpret traffic received from a serial interface under Cygwin. I copied some demo code from another project to open the serial port. Then I set up the serial port speed to the baudrate used by the serial port (921600).
static int serial_open(char *portname)
{
int FD_com; // file descriptor for the serial port
struct termios term;
FD_com = open(portname, O_RDONLY | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
if (FD_com == -1) // if open is unsuccessful
{
printf("serial_open: Unable to open %s.\n", portname);
}
else
{
// set speed of port
cfsetspeed(&term, BAUDRATE);
// set to 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
term.c_cflag &= ~PARENB;
term.c_cflag &= ~CSTOPB;
term.c_cflag &= ~CSIZE;
term.c_cflag |= CS8;
term.c_cflag |= (CLOCAL | CREAD);
tcsetattr(FD_com, TCSANOW, &term);
}
return(FD_com);
}
Then I tried to capture the traffic in a file
if (FD_ISSET(FD_com, &fds))
{
// wait for data to come in on the serial port
if ((nbytes = read(FD_com, port_buf, PORTBUFSIZE)) > 0)
{
for (i=0; i<nbytes; i++)
{
fwrite(&port_buf[i], 1, sizeof(uint8_t), fout);
The problem is, the traffic recorded in the file lost some bytes. The longest consecutive string it can record is over 48 bytes, but most other strings, it wraps around with 48 bytes. I assume that this because of buffer overflow. But how to configure the serial port rx buffer? The port_buf defined in the application is 512 (PORTBUFSIZE)bytes, which should be big enough.

The send data thread works well.
But the read data thread : I could not set it as blocking, the read function returns immediately, even the read data length is zero.
How should I modify the code to make the read function be blocked?
fd = open(&deviceName[0], O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY |O_NONBLOCK| O_NDELAY);
Try removing O_NONBLOCK and O_NDELAY from your open call. Or is there a particular reason you have that even though you specifically want it to block?

Linux Uart Read blocking

I am writing a linux application in the userspace to communicate to an FPGA via uart. I am using non-canonical blocking read operation with vmin and vtime specified. FPGA responds to a command sent by me on uart with fixed no of bytes. I can successfully read them for a long time, but after executing for a while, the code simply gets stuck up in the read function. For a blocking read, I would assume it to exit the routine after the vtime period specified even if it does not see any data on the uart buffer.But, it simply hangs the whole application.
Does anyone have an idea what must be causing this?
following are the properties i set for my uart port:
struct termios oldtio;
int fd;
fd = open("/dev/ttyS0", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY);

/* no hw flow control, no parity and 1 stop bit */

exit(1);
}
