OK update.... I have recompiled all the salient code for OSX and I am getting absolutely zero errors on the serial device in question, so there is something up with the RPi. I suspect something to do with the kernel scheduling affecting the USB/Serial interface, or possibly the serial emulation driv...

This is a quote from libserialport doc... * The first is that Unix traditionally provides a wide range of functionality * for dealing with serial devices at the OS level; this is exposed through the * termios API and dates to the days when serial terminals were common. If your * code relies on many ...

Why would a serial port need to have a concept of "raw". I can understand why a terminal display might do, but why a serial port?

"...put the tty into raw mode"...

Not sure what you mean by this.

I have a serial device which I am accessing using libserialport. There are two functions sp_read and sp_write which allow me to send and receive data over the chosen port.

what would putting the tty into raw mode do for me?

I am connecting a device (sound devices audio field recorder) to my RPI via a USB serial interface. I am using libserialport to manage the serial device abstraction, a C library to do the required decoding, SWIG to abstract the library and nodejs/javascript to actually do the user interfacing. I am ...

Just wanted to let you guys know I have just completed an alpha version of a timecode generator. I'm using NTP to synch the timecode output which is pretty solid and locking the timer process to a single CPU. LTC is generated out of the GPIO ports. Will post a demo video over the next couple of days...
