Hi misc@,
I need to run flip[1], which is written in tcl/tk and only available as
binary for linux. I need it to program Atmel 8051 micro controllers.
Flip runs fine under linux emulation (after copying the included libs to
/emul/linux/lib), but I get an error message when trying to access the
serial ports (to which the mc board is connected).
I already created a horde of symlinks (after reading compat_linux(8))
and googled for about 3h now, but I can't get it to work:
NOTE: I'm using a (working) usb->serial adapter
#ls -l /emul/linux/dev | grep tty[A-Z]
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10B Mar 19 11:23 ttyS0@ -> /dev/ttyU0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10B Mar 19 14:00 ttyS1@ -> /dev/ttyU0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10B Mar 19 11:23 ttyU0@ -> /dev/ttyU0
#ls -l /dev/{cua,tty}[US]0

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Jul 2 1987 /dev/ttyS0@ -> /dev/ttyU0
crwxrwxrwx 1 ahbabe ahbabe 66, 0 Jul 2 1987 /dev/ttyU0*
Error message in flip:
can't read "flipStates(comList)": no such element in array
while executing
"if { $flipStates(comList) == "" } {
tk_messageBox -message "There is no available serial port\n on your platform.
Please fix the problem then\n resta..."

I would appreciate any help because I need to get this to work for
school.
Btw: I tried to use qemu with "-serial /dev/ttyU0", but this always
results in (also as almighty root):
qemu: could not open serial device '/dev/ttyS0'

Thanks,

p.s. Did I include all necessary information?
