My first adventure in Wine involves the need to access the serial port and I'm having some problems I haven't seen referenced in other posts. This is on Linux Mint 17.1 64-bit on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop with Wine v1.7.38, also reproducible on v1.6.2. 1.7.38 came from the WineHQ Ubuntu PPA, and 1.6.2 came from the standard Ubuntu repo.
My ultimate goal is to run N1MM Logger (or N1MM Logger+), an amateur radio contest logging program. I couldn't make either happy talking to the radio across the serial port so my intermediate goal became to try to get Teraterm to talk to a Cisco router I had laying around. This is where things got interesting.
If I run minicom natively in Linux, all is well. If I run Teraterm through Wine, it almost works but not really. Some keystrokes are echoed back to the terminal, but overall things are laggy and distorted. In short, the whole thing looks corrupt, as if many of the characters coming from the router never make it to the terminal.
This is on a hardware serial port:
Code: Select all
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000
Flags: spd_normal skip_testI started Teraterm with full debugging (WINEDEBUG=warn+all wine ttermpro.exe). The only output I saw relevant to serial communication was this:
Code: Select all
fixme:comm:set_queue_size insize 8192 outsize 2048 unimplemented stubAdvice and direction are most appreciated.
