I just completed some testing that got me nowhere. I tried both 7.0 and 7.9 both with same results. Basically my setup is thus - I have SiLabs board connected to /dev/ttyS0 running at 38400 Baud, and sending a non-stop full page of text that includes the cpu temperature and mem dump of a web page. When using minicom, I get the full page of output, refreshing at about a one second rate. No problems with minicom, works as expected. Run gforth inside the contrib directory after changing the terminal program to do 38400 instead of the 9600 - nothing. Try and run the string and get: ok COM1 B38400 c" 8N1" terminal :8: Interpreting a compile-only word COM1 B38400 >>>c"<<< 8N1" terminal Backtrace: $7FBA30F8ECF8 throw Do "term" and get only a blank screen, F1 doesn't do anything. Should be seeing the same text I see in minicom, but nothing - no errors, no help, nothing. Got any ideas what might be going on? Will look at the R8C code next for ideas. Have two serial ports, so will next try "term" talking to one, and minicom talking on other to see if that works. Bill. On 03/22/12 08:36, Bernd Paysan wrote:

I will try that later today, as that seems like a do-able compromise. We would just need to ship all of those files with our own code - an option we already use. Thanks Bernd for the suggested arch code - I will look at that as well, but my minor checking says that the select code is broken, and thus I would expect that to not work - assuming my testing is valid - not always a good assumption to make.The terminal.fs code in arch/r8c is not architecture-dependent, it is just an application for the R8C board, using the serial interface of a PC. And it does not use the select code of key_avail. I don't know why the select code should not work on serial lines, this must be a bug in Linux.
