串行端口环回/双工测试,Bash还是C?(过程替代)

串行端口环回/双工测试,Bash还是C?(过程替代),c,linux,bash,serial-port,loopback,C,Linux,Bash,Serial Port,Loopback,我将一个串行设备设置为环回(这意味着它将简单地回显它接收到的任何字符),我想测量有效的吞吐量速度。为此,我希望我能利用时间,就像在 time bash -c '...' 其中“…”是我可以运行的命令 现在,第一个问题是,我想以2000000 bps的速度使用该设备,因此我无法使用or(它们似乎都只能达到115200 bps)。但是,将/dev/ttyUSB0作为文件使用(使用文件重定向和cat)似乎可以正常工作: # initialize serial port stty 2000000 -i

我将一个串行设备设置为环回(这意味着它将简单地回显它接收到的任何字符),我想测量有效的吞吐量速度。为此,我希望我能利用时间,就像在

time bash -c '...'
其中“
”是我可以运行的命令

现在,第一个问题是,我想以2000000 bps的速度使用该设备,因此我无法使用or(它们似乎都只能达到115200 bps)。但是,将
/dev/ttyUSB0
作为文件使用(使用文件重定向和
cat
)似乎可以正常工作:

# initialize serial port
stty 2000000 -ixon icanon </dev/ttyUSB0

# check settings
stty -a -F /dev/ttyUSB0

# in one terminal - read from serial port
while (true) do cat -A /dev/ttyUSB0 ; done

# in other terminal - write to serial port
echo "1234567890" > /dev/ttyUSB0

# back to first terminal, I now have:
# $ while (true) do cat -A /dev/ttyUSB0 ; done
# 1234567890$
# ...
在那里,除了(某种程度上)将两个进程合并成一个命令(我想,我也可以使用
echo
)之外,我没有使用
comm
进行任何其他用途

不幸的是,该技巧似乎不适用于串行端口,因为当我尝试它时,有时会得到:

$ comm <(echo "1234567890" > /dev/ttyUSB0) <(while (true) do cat -A /dev/ttyUSB0 ; done)
cat: /dev/ttyUSB0: Invalid argument

$comm/dev/ttyUSB0)好吧,这里有一个类似于部分答案的问题——尽管关于bash使用的问题仍然悬而未决。我试着在一些C代码解决方案中寻找一些东西——这似乎也不是小事!:)

首先,让我们看看在这种情况下,有什么可能不起作用-下面是一个来自“”的示例:

。。。换句话说,输入数据没有回声。但是,如果串行端口设置正确,我们可以获得如下会话:

$ ./sertest /dev/ttyUSB0 
enter input data:
t1
enter input data:
t2
bytes: 127, line=t1
enter input data:
t3
bytes: 127, line=t2
enter input data:
t4
bytes: 127, line=t3
enter input data:
^C
。。。(但即使如此,该
sertest
代码在输入大于3个字符的单词时失败。)

最后,通过一些在线挖掘,我找到了“”,它提供了一个
writeread.cpp
示例。然而,对于这种逐字节“双工”的情况,这还不够——即,“注意:规范输入处理……是终端的正常处理模式……这意味着读取将只返回一整行输入。一行默认由NL(ASCII LF)终止……”;因此,我们必须通过
ICANON
(换句话说,仅仅通过
open
设置
O非块
不够的),在我们的代码中将串行端口设置为“非规范”(或“原始”)模式。完成后,调用
writeread
也将“正确”设置
serport
示例(如上)的串行端口

因此,我将一些
writeread
代码更改回C,添加了所需的初始化内容,以及时间测量、发送字符串或文件的可能性,以及额外的输出流(用于将读取的串行数据“管道化”到单独的文件)。下面的代码是
writeread.c
serial.h
,使用它,我可以在下面的Bash会话中执行类似操作:

$ ./writeread /dev/ttyUSB0 2000000 writeread.c 3>myout.txt
stdalt opened; Alternative file descriptor: 3
Opening port /dev/ttyUSB0;
Got speed 2000000 (4107/0x100b);
Got file/string 'writeread.c'; opened as file (4182).

+++DONE+++
Wrote: 4182 bytes; Read: 4182 bytes; Total: 8364 bytes. 
Start: 1284422340 s 443302 us; End: 1284422347 s 786999 us; Delta: 7 s 343697 us. 
2000000 baud for 8N1 is 200000 Bps (bytes/sec).
Measured: write 569.47 Bps, read 569.47 Bps, total 1138.94 Bps.

$ diff writeread.c myout.txt 

$ ./writeread /dev/ttyUSB0 2000000 writeread.c 3>/dev/null 
stdalt opened; Alternative file descriptor: 3
Opening port /dev/ttyUSB0;
Got speed 2000000 (4107/0x100b);
Got file/string 'writeread.c'; opened as file (4182).

+++DONE+++
Wrote: 4182 bytes; Read: 4182 bytes; Total: 8364 bytes. 
Start: 1284422380 s -461710 us; End: 1284422388 s 342977 us; Delta: 8 s 804687 us. 
2000000 baud for 8N1 is 200000 Bps (bytes/sec).
Measured: write 474.97 Bps, read 474.97 Bps, total 949.95 Bps.
嗯:

  • 第一个惊喜-如果我正在写入一个文件,它会比管道传输到
    /dev/null
    更快
  • 而且,速度大约为1000 Bps,而该设备显然设定为200000 Bps
此时,我认为速度变慢是因为在
writeread.c
中的每个写入字节之后,我们等待读取中断清除标志,然后再继续读取串行缓冲区。可能的话,如果读和写是分开的线程,那么读和写都可以尝试在单个
调用中使用更大的字节块,因此带宽会得到更好的利用?!(或者,从某种意义上说,中断处理程序的行为就像一个并行运行的“线程”——因此,通过将所有与读取相关的函数移动到中断处理程序,可能可以实现类似的功能?!)

啊,好吧,在这一点上,我非常愿意接受关于现有代码的建议/链接,比如
writeread.c
,但是多线程:),当然,对于任何其他可能的Linux工具,或者可能的Bash方法(尽管Bash似乎无法实现这种控制…)

干杯
