问题
I am writing a program that reads the data from the serial port on Linux. The data are sent by another device with the following frame format:
|start | Command | Data | CRC | End |
|0x02 | 0x41 | (0-127 octets) | | 0x03|
----------------------------------------------------
The Data field contains 127 octets as shown and octet 1,2 contains one type of data; octet 3,4 contains another data. I need to get these data.
Because in C, one byte can only holds one character and in the start field of the frame, it is 0x02 which means STX which is 3 characters.
So, in order to test my program,
On the sender side, I construct an array as the frame formatted above like:
char frame[254];
frame[0] = 0x02; // starting field
frame[1] = 0x41; // command field which is character 'A'
..so on..
And, then On the receiver side, I take out the fields like:
char result[254];
// read data
read(result);
printf("command = %c", result[1]); // get the command field of the frame
// get other field's values
the command field value (result[1]) is not character 'A'.
I think, this because the first field value of the frame is 0x02 (STX) occupying 3 first places in the array frame and leading to the wrong results on the receiver side.
How can I correct the issue or am I doing something wrong at the sender side?

回答1:
If your program actually contains
read(result);
then you need to add
#include <unistd.h>
at the top, to get the function prototype for read. Then you need to open the serial port and pass the resulting file descriptor to read along with your buffer, so it knows what to read. See man 2 read and man 2 open.
