Hello,
I need to use an UART to communicate between beaglebone and the device. I have written the C code, but it has a few problems within it. I can’t identify the cause of the problem or to be more precise don’t know how fix it.
The problem is of
reading in the information and displaying it on a shell. I can easily write any information data set that I wish, but when I try to read in response it either doesn’t read in, with the perror being displayed as (erno = EINTR [Interrupted function call]) meaning read () function returned negative number.

`
erno EINTR error is displayed only when i’m setting any non-zero values to c_cc[VTIME] or c_cc[VMIN]. but still even if i set the both to zero, I cannot read anything from the port, it’s just blank.
I’m confident that i’m receiving response from the device, I have checked it with oscilloscope.
Any assistance would be appreciated. if possible with the code examples for me to see what should I modify.
Thank you very much for the help.
