# serial.device — RS-232 Communication
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
`serial.device` provides buffered RS-232 serial I/O through the Amiga's built-in 8520 CIA UART (active-high active sense).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Opening
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
struct IOExtSer *ser = (struct IOExtSer *)
|
|
CreateIORequest(port, sizeof(struct IOExtSer));
|
|
OpenDevice("serial.device", 0, (struct IORequest *)ser, 0);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Setting Parameters
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
ser->io_CtlChar = SER_DEFAULT_CTLCHAR;
|
|
ser->io_RBufLen = 4096; /* read buffer size */
|
|
ser->io_Baud = 9600;
|
|
ser->io_ReadLen = 8; /* data bits */
|
|
ser->io_WriteLen = 8;
|
|
ser->io_StopBits = 1;
|
|
ser->io_SerFlags = SERF_XDISABLED; /* no XON/XOFF */
|
|
ser->IOSer.io_Command = SDCMD_SETPARAMS;
|
|
DoIO((struct IORequest *)ser);
|
|
```
