crozone.SerialPorts.LinuxSerialPort 2.0.1

crozone.SerialPorts.LinuxSerialPort

A managed Linux Serial Port implementation targeting netstandard2.0. This implementation performs all serial port setup by calling the /bin/stty binary, rather than relying on any native interop directly. This means it should work on any system that has a POSIX compatible /bin/stty binary.

About

This SerialPort class is intended to offer similar functionality to the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort class provided by Microsoft in System.IO.Ports. However, although much of the interface is the same or similar, it is not intended to be a direct drop in replacement.

Most basic functionality is covered, including the configuration of the BaudRate, DataBits, StopBits, Handshake, and Parity.

The class implements the shared ISerialPort interface from crozone.SerialPorts.Abstractions. This allows it to be compatible with the crozone.SerialPorts.WindowsSerialPort wrapper for System.IO.Ports.SerialPort, which makes cross-platform development easier.

Basic sample code

// Open the first serial port that matches /dev/ttyUSB* (eg, /dev/ttyUSB0).
//
using (LinuxSerialPort serialPort = new LinuxSerialPort("/dev/ttyUSB*")
{
    EnableDrain = false,
    MinimumBytesToRead = 0,
    ReadTimeout = 0,
    BaudRate = 9600,
    DataBits = 8,
    Parity = Parity.None,
    StopBits = StopBits.One,
    Handshake = Handshake.None
})
{
    serialPort.Open();
    Stream stream = serialPort.BaseStream;

    // Use stream to read and write

} // Serial port is automatically closed here when Dispose() is called by the using statement.
