I am new to serail programing in Linux (Fedora 12) using C Language. I have a simple device, it is supposed to get 3 bytes command in hex (wirte) like {0x02,0x03,0x0D} and return 4 bytes response.
First I wrote a simple java program on windows, and I get the correct response.. as and when,I switch to linux, I can't read from serial com port neither using java nor C language.
I tried using libraries like rs232 .. but still the problem remains. I can open "/dev/ttyS0", and write on it .. (none of them returns any Error), but read is not possible ..
If I use canonical mode, the program blocks on reading until i kill the program.. If use non-canonical mode, with VMIN=0 and VTIME=5, read function returns whith -107725432 bytes for example .. (I have tried reading and writing byte by byte or all at the same time .. no difference ..)

I am really confused .. I tried almost every samples on the Internet .. An
y Idea Please?! I have traced the program, using strace ..
...
write(3,"\2\3\r",3) = 3
fstat64(1 , {st_mode=S_IFREG| 0755, st_size =0,..}) = 0
mmap2(NULL,4096,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE| MAP_ANONYMOUS,-1,0) = 0Xb78b4000
nanosleep({0, 100000000}, NULL) = 0
read(3,"",1) = 0
.....
Can the problem be related to fedora12?
P.S. : if I haven't got response in windows, I was sure that its a problem with the device.
