SubjectttyUSB sendbreak problem
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi list,

I'm writing a program which communicates via modem with an embedded
device (electrical network monitoring). The frames are terminated by a
BREAK.

My program works fine when I use a Cyclades 8Yo multiports card, but
fails using USB to serial adapters (tried with pl2303 and FTDI
converters). I suspect that the BREAK are not passed correctly, but I
don't have equipment to check.

I've tried with:
tcsendbreak(modem,0);
ioctl(modem, TCSBRK,0);
ioctl(modem, TCSBRKP, 0);

- From pl2303 debug mode, I see that pl2303_break_ctl is called:
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: pl2303_break_ctl - port 0
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: pl2303_break_ctl - turning break on
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: pl2303_write_bulk_callback - port 0
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: pl2303_send - port 0
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: pl2303_break_ctl - port 0
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: pl2303_break_ctl - turning break off

I found a few references of similar problems in the past, but it was for
older kernels (I'm using 2.6.28.4), so the question remains: should it
work or is there a known problem sending BREAK using ttyUSB?


Thanks,
