I want to thank you SO MUCH for all your help. Here are my issues that I overcame (sanity check): 1. Why did we have to use 0x1007, instead of 0x10007 that our grep command returns? 2. PySerial works beautifully. Thank you for the suggestion. What I had to do was add this to the PySerial source root in serialpostix.py, after the import termios: termios.B921600 = 0x1007 because PySerial looks for the actual baud rate in termios (via getattr()) which does not exist. PySerial actually defines the following baud rates, but termios does not handle it: #default values, may be overriden in subclasses that do not support all values BAUDRATES = (50,75,110,134,150,200,300,600,1200,1800,2400,4800,9600, 19200,38400,57600,115200,230400,460800,500000,576000,921600, 1000000,1152000,1500000,2000000,2500000,3000000,3500000,4000000) ... so now I can pass 921600 as a parameter to PySerial! :) So my next question is - I would like to contribute to the python source tree by updating termios.h to handle the higher baud rates by default. Is this a good opportunity for me to submit a patch? I've never done this before but have always been interested in doing so. Thanks again!
