[erlang-questions] sl module from jungerl/CEAN

[Mikl Kurkov]

Hi, Kirill!
In my current project I have to work with some device via serial port too.
After looking at several C drivers I found it much more easier just to open
file descriptors to that port directly in start script and work with them
via ordinal erlang port, created as 
open_port({fd, FdPortIn, FdPortOut}, [stream, binary]). Also you will have
to setup port parameters via stty. 

It works pretty well for me in Linux, but may be you will find this approach
usefull too.

Here is example of start.sh
<code>
#!/bin/sh

#device
export DEV=/dev/ttyUSB0

#serial port config
stty -F $DEV \
115200 rows 0 columns 0 line 0 min 1 time 0 \
intr ^- quit ^-  erase ^- kill ^- eof ^- \
eol ^- eol2 ^- swtch ^- start ^- stop ^- \
susp ^- rprnt ^- werase ^- lnext ^- flush ^- \

#port file descriptors variables (will be used by application to open port)
export DEV_FDIN=7
export DEV_FDOUT=8

exec 7< $DEV
exec 8> $DEV

# application start
erl -boot start_sasl -config sys.config -pa ./ebin  -s app start_script
