Post by thread:tm4 and FreeBSD

Hi all, Has anyone successfully compiled the unix source code for tm4 (on Jim Robertson's Newfound Electronics page) to run under FreeBSD? There's some minor differences in the way *BSD handles the serial port when compared to SysV/Linux and unfortunately this code is SysV-centric. I've compiled tm4 on a linux machine and ran the binary on my FreeBSD machine using the linux compat libraries, but this runs me into a different problem with some run-time errors: LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=3, typ=0x54(T), num=0x9 not implemented The hardware i'm using is a Reaper with the latest firmware (thanks Jim!). The FreeBSD 3.2 box is a Celeron 300A. The same motherboard read/writes 16c84's fine using the Windoze WinTM4 software so it's not a hardware compatibility issue. I'd appreciate a nudge in the appropriate direction, otherwise i'll keep plodding along. Thanks, Glen. --- Glen Pill Ph : +61 3 9925 3819 Technical Officer Fax : +61 3 9925 2499 Infrastructure Services Branch Inet : spam_OUTglenpTakeThisOuTrmit.edu.au RMIT Information Technology Services Snail : 124a LaTrobe St,Melb,Oz,3001
