Re: Serial Port hangs in release



Moved the debug UART to the STUART, and still no difference :(
I would have thought COM1: would have been my problem as the OemDebug stuff
was pointed at this port on the BTUART.

can anyone talk me through what they did to disable the debug/solve their
problem. I currently running out of time for my client!

We had a similar problem which was caused by the Debug messages trying to go
through the same physical COM port, that had a driver loaded for it.

Ensure that in for your release build, within OEMInitDebugSerial() you do
not init any com port that will subsequently have a CE driver loaded.

Hi All
I have a PXA255 platform using 3 serial ports (COM1,2,3). In debug mode I
have no problems, however my serial ports mobe number, COM1 hardware is
acessed by debug using address COM3:, COM3 hardware is acessed by COM2:...
etc.
My problem occurs when we go to release, when acessing COM3: causes my
programs to hang. I have looked at the registry values and these seem OK.
We
also have a modified serial driver for COM1 and COM3, with added IOCTL's
so I
can tell the driver is OK, by acessing COM1 instead of COM3 from my code.

any ideas? see below for COM3: registry and code snippet for line which
causes crash.

REG_SZ Dll xsc1bd_serial.Dll
REG_DWORD IoBase a6300000
REG_DWORD Irq 20
REG_SZ Tsp Unimodem.dll
REG_DWORD IoLen 24
REG_DWORD DeviceArrayIndex 2
REG_SZ Prefix COM
REG_DWORD DeviceType 0
REG_SZ FriendlyName Serial Cable on COM3
REG_BINARY DevConfig 10 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 10 01 00 00 00 4b 00 00 00 00
08 00 00 00 00 00 00

m_hComPort = CreateFile(m_szPort, GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE,
0,NULL,OPEN_EXISTING,0,NULL);
