It sounds like you are having more basic problems than just the ira-2
device configuration. The /dev/ttyS0 needs to be adjusted for your
specific setup. The ttySx is dependent on how your system is setup. If a
'cat /dev/ttyS0' is attempted on a working system the command is just a
blank line waiting. If the 'cat' is done on an unconnected port (such as
/dev/ttyS1 on my system) it will display the same as you have shown above.
Here is what is listed for serial ports on my system:
ll /dev/ttyS?
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 2007-11-07 11:58 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 2007-11-07 11:58 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 66 2007-11-07 11:58 /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 67 2007-11-07 11:58 /dev/ttyS3
You can check your serial ports with stty -F /dev/ttySx. That will
provide the parameters of the specific port. A port with a working ira-2
on my system shows:
[root at shuttle1 ~]# stty -F /dev/ttyS0
speed 9600 baud; line = 0;
min = 1; time = 1;
ignbrk -brkint -icrnl -imaxbel
-opost
-isig -icanon -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke
The unconnected port displays:
[root at shuttle1 ~]# stty -F /dev/ttyS1
stty: /dev/ttyS1: Input/output error.
You need resolve which port you have actually connected the ira-2 device
first. Then make those adjustments in the configuration.
