Agreed, but as soon as device setup is through with your device (thus the "properly configured character device") and your reading program behaves nicely (which I'd expect GR's file_sink to do), just reading from a character device should work, if I'm not mistaken.
However, this brings us to a new question: "serial" doesn't really say what kind of interface we're talking about; there's a whole lot of bytes that you can not send over a 1980's style UART as used for the RS-232 peripheral on PCs, and thus the data that comes in over that has to be decoded first; you could write a block that converts these bytes to bytes, or, and this is more likely, you already have software that does that, and writes the result to a file, or prints it on standard output. You could then connect the output of that to GNU Radio, e.g. using a named pipe. On 29.10.2014 00:21, Marcus D.
