EE-SIO rx

[apache37]

Hello,

I've built and installed the ps2 ee-sio per mrbrowns instructions. The tx works fine and I can see the messages pop thru securecrt and within my own code. The probelem I have is how to really test the rx side. I've looked through the other thread on the serial cable and are pretty sure I'm on the right via (directly below the tx).

Can someone provide a small code snippet on how to test? I've used sio_getc() and seems to return just the same funky "y" character all the time. I'm sure I'm just stupid. Right now I'm typing into the terminal app and trying to echo the input thru serial via printf to inlink.

Thanks in advance :)

I don't claim to be an expert, but I've had a lot of experience with the SIO board over the last several days.

Can someone provide a small code snippet on how to test?

Sure, see the code and makefile below. My thanks to "tyranid" for sending the original code to me ;)
The makefile needs makefiles from PS2LIB (and hence the PS2LIB environment string needs to be defined)--I'm assuming you have PS2DEV setup on your system, right?

Haven't tried "ps2siotest.elf" with InLink, only with ps2client, but I suspect that it will work.

I've used sio_getc() and seems to return just the same funky "y" character all the time.

A consistent "y" character sounds bad, but at least it is consistently bad. :-{

I'm sure I'm just stupid.
