Hi a short howto for all trying to use the serial port on ARM Linux
After fighting several hours i was able to cross-compile for ARM (OMAP 3 Gumstix Overo)
Most helpful (but not totally right for the OMAP i think) was: http://www.eilers.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=78&Itemid=55 but some hints why and not only how would be fantastic I was trying to compile a program for the serial port using the fantastic synaser.pas from Lukas Gebauer http://www.ararat.cz/synapse/doku.php/download unfortunately the linker always reported an error. After several hours more i found a hint at http://www.turbocontrol.com/simpleserial.htm from Paul Brenemann removing the USE synafpc.pas from synaser.pas (is not used at all in the Linux version) In termios.inc Baud symbols over 460800 are not defined for target cpuarm , so this must also adopted in the synaser.pas. Now it is linking and running, great!
