tio - A simple serial device I/O tool for linux

<< < (11/15) > >>

lundmar:
A new version of tio is released which fixes a bug when running on Fedora, RHEL etc.: https://github.com/tio/tio/releases/tag/v1.25

lundmar:
There have been quite a few tio releases since this thread was last active:

https://github.com/tio/tio/releases

New features have been added such as support for setting arbitrary baud rates and remapping of special characters to support more embedded targets.

Also, latest tio is now available as a snap:


--- Code: ---$ snap install tio

--- End code ---

lundmar:
A lot of new features and bug fixes have been added since tio was last mentioned in this forum.

If you are a Linux user and need a simple but powerful tool to connect to the serial device of your embedded target, then you should definitely give tio a try.

tio v1.39 has just been released and the updated version will be available on various platforms soon:

https://github.com/tio/tio/releases

Recently tio gained configuration file support and support for redirecting I/O to a file or network socket which can come handy if you need to interact with embedded targets via scripts. Color support and support for easily listing available serial devices have also been added.

lundmar:
tio v1.40 has been released.

I mean, it is okay if you accept (i don't) the usual problems with Python version incompatibilities, missing package dependencies, bigger CPU execution overhead, and the horribly long winded list of error messages facing a user when even a simple exception occurs. Thanks but no thanks ;)

A serial terminal app is going to be I/O bound, CPU is not going to bottleneck even on something as slow as a Raspberry Pi Zero. Of which, the way I/O is currently done in tio can use a big improvement: https://github.com/tio/tio/issues/110

I suppose someone who really wants to benchmark terminal apps could use an Atomic Pi in OTG mode to create a USB3 serial port, just a bit silly since serial over USB wasn't really designed for maximum throughput.
