Could anyone tell me how to format the serialport.write method in c# for the following get memory command of a digital multimeter?

Try creating a byte array, and writing this to the port.
byte[] data = new byte[] {0x10, 0x02, 0x4E, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x10, 0x03};
port.Write(data, 0, data.Length);

MAX14830 not flushing TX

So after a day of struggling I managed to get Debian 11 on a IMX7D, 5.4.129 kernel to recognize the MAX14830 and talk to it via the MAX310X driver. But when I try to send data with echo a > /dev/ttyMAX0 nothing happens. Well except the Tx count going up.
Looking at the SPI traffic this seems to be going correctly and the chip is sending the expected responses (Tx FIFO count returns three if three characters are being send) but nothing seems to happen to the buffer. The driver keeps interrogating the max but the FIFO stays at 3. Then the driver reaches a timeout I guess. Because it then sends 0x81,0x00 which clears the IRQen register, followed by 0x9B 0x40 which sets the baudrate register... which makes it all the more confusing.
So far I've gone through all the stty settings and used -ixon to disable XON/XOFF but that didn't make a difference.
Is there a way/place/file that holds the settings for the driver? Or am I forgetting something? RX doesn't seem to work either but not sure if the max isn't receiving it or just not informing the driver.
The relevant portion of the DTS
&ecspi3 {

};
};
};

Pymodbus TCP Slave Busy

I've been trying to update someone else' software to work on a new machine.
They built a Modbus controller using the Pymodbus library to work with the main software.
The only difference between the original working machine and this new one is that the DAQ is different.
I had assumed going in that this would just mean changing addresses but probably due to my lack of knowledge about Pymodbus this has been very far from the case.
The main issue I am having right now is that is that I am trying to simply communicate with holding registers and the only response I can get back is "(131, 3, Slave Device Busy)".
I am really not sure what to do with this information, It happens as soon as it is started and nothing is able to change it.
Has anyone else had any experience where a device always outputting this same error code?
the DAQ I am using is a Aspar IO Slim Module MOD-ETH
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you
J
(I would attached the code here but it is quite long and I'm not sure a snippet would really help but do let me know if it would be helpful)

Why does SGX calling ioctl so many times?

When I analysis sgx process by using strace, ioctl function is called so many times after mmap function like below.
1424  11:18:56 mmap(NULL, 4194304, PROT_NONE, MAP_SHARED, 4, 0) = 0x7f7e6a800000
1424  11:18:56 ioctl(4, _IOC(_IOC_WRITE, 0xa4, 0x00, 0x08), 0x7ffdadb760b0) = 0
1424  11:18:56 ioctl(4, _IOC(_IOC_WRITE, 0xa4, 0x01, 0x1a), 0x7ffdadb76f00) = 0
1424  11:18:56 ioctl(4, _IOC(_IOC_WRITE, 0xa4, 0x01, 0x1a), 0x7ffdadb76f00) = 0
1424  11:18:56 ioctl(4, _IOC(_IOC_WRITE, 0xa4, 0x01, 0x1a), 0x7ffdadb76f00) = 0
1424  11:18:56 ioctl(4, _IOC(_IOC_WRITE, 0xa4, 0x01, 0x1a), 0x7ffdadb76f00) = 0
Is there anyone who knows why this function is called so many times?
What means this function?
Instead of adding a custom system call, a lot of things use ioctl on a "device" FD as a way for user-space to communicate with the kernel. Think of it as a device-specific system call.
In this specific case of SGX I don't know specifically what it's doing, but it's not rare to see lots of ioctls. e.g. sound card drivers use a lot of ioctl, too.
Originally ioctl was mostly for terminal I/O settings on TTY file descriptors, like canonical vs. raw, and which special characters did what, and serial port speeds. But as I said, other kinds of device drivers have used it as an alternative to adding new system calls.

Arduino send HEX values via XBee

I'm trying to send HEX values via XBee from a Arduino to digi's Xbee program XCTU. But i have some problems with some bytes that i cant send
The list of bytes i cant send:
0x11
0x13
0x7D
0x7E
0x81
0xEC
0xEE
If i use any other bytes i can see it in the XCTU console window and i get a response back to the Arduino
I have enabled API mode (AP=1) on both of the Xbee's. Im using the XBee lib linked from Arduino web site (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Libraries)
My code looks like this:
#define XBEE_RX_PIN 8
#define XBEE_TX_PIN 9
SoftwareSerial xbeeSerial(XBEE_RX_PIN, XBEE_TX_PIN);
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
xbeeSerial.begin(9600);
xbee.begin(xbeeSerial);
}
void loop()
{
Serial.println("Send next 255 msg:");
uint8_t testMsg[1] = { 0x0 };
for (uint8_t i = 0; i <= 0xFF; i++)
{
test2[0] = i;
Tx16Request testTx = Tx16Request(0xFFFF, testMsg, sizeof(testMsg));
xbee.send(testTx);
Serial.print("Message send: ");
Serial.println(test2[0], HEX);
if (xbee.readPacket(5000)) {
Serial.println("SUCCESS");
}
else if (xbee.getResponse().isError()) {
Serial.println("isError");
}
else {
Serial.println("No Response");
}
}
Serial.println("");
delay(3000);
}
With AP=1, you can't send some special bytes like:
0x7E (start of frame)
0x11/0x13 (XOn XOff)
...
As mentioned in the XBee documentation (XBee®XBee-PRO® ZB RF Modules manual 90000976_W.pdf, starting page 112), you should use AP=2 mode which allows you to transmit these special bytes by escaping them:
Escape characters.
When sending or receiving a UART data frame, specific data values must be
escaped (flagged) so they do not interfere with the data frame sequencing.
To escape an interfering data byte, insert 0x7D and follow it with the byte to be escaped XOR’d with 0x20.
Note that, if not escaped, 0x11 and 0x13 is sent as is.
Data bytes that need to be escaped:
- 0x7E – Frame Delimiter
- 0x7D – Escape
- 0x11 – XON
- 0x13 – XOFF
Example - Raw UART Data Frame (before escaping interfering bytes):
- 0x7E 0x00 0x02 0x23 0x11 0xCB
0x11 needs to be escaped which results in the following frame:
- 0x7E 0x00 0x02 0x23 0x7D 0x31 0xCB
Note In the above example, the length of the raw data (excluding the checksum) is 0x0002 and the checksum of the non-escaped data (excluding frame delimiter and length) is calculated as:
0xFF - (0x23 + 0x11) = (0xFF - 0x34) = 0xCB.
Hope this helps

How to list network devices in NASM (custom OS)

I have a custom, DOS-like OS built in NASM completely (no C code). It is very modest (it does have a FAT file system, few apps, is in real mode, etc.) I want to write a command that will list all the network devices (network cards) that are currently connected.
My assumptions go like this: I will need to write a driver for the network card (I'd put it manually inside kernel for simplicity, so dynamic loading would NOT exist), but it would be enough for that driver to just provide the name of the card, the network card wouldn't actually need to work. How do I tell the OS to connect that function to precisely that one network card? This is what I'm in the blue about, I have no idea how the OS usually matches a piece of hardware to code (its driver(s)).
Since it appears from your comments that you have Dosbox supporting an NE2000 card then the code below should detect the presence of an NE2000 card (A port base of 0x300 is assumed). The code is a DOS COM program I wrote and should be compilable with a command like nasm ne2kchk.asm -fbin -o ne2kchk.com

The code above is an adaptation of "C" code that I found in the Debian nictool code available here . It can be found in the file ne2k-diags.c. It seems more information (datasheets) are available for the rtl8019 which is a clone of the NE2000. The 8390NIC that is at the heart of these devices is documented here. The 8390 documentation discusses how to send and receive data. An excerpt of the "C" code that I based mine on was:
printf("Checking the ethercard at %#3x.\n", port_base);
{ int regd;
long ioaddr = port_base;
outb_p(E8390_NODMA+E8390_PAGE1+E8390_STOP, ioaddr + E8390_CMD);
regd = inb_p(ioaddr + 0x0d);
printk(" Receive alignment error counter (%#lx) is %2.2x\n",
ioaddr + 0x0d, regd);
outb_p(0xff, ioaddr + 0x0d);
outb_p(E8390_NODMA+E8390_PAGE0, ioaddr + E8390_CMD);
inb_p(ioaddr + EN0_COUNTER0); /* Clear the counter by reading. */
if (inb_p(ioaddr + EN0_COUNTER0) != 0) {
outb(regd, ioaddr + 0x0d); /* Restore the old values. */
printk(" Failed initial NE2000 probe, value %2.2x.\n",
inb(ioaddr + EN0_COUNTER0));
} else
printk(" Passed initial NE2000 probe, value %2.2x.\n",
inb(ioaddr + EN0_COUNTER0));
}
The code above is the initial probe but there is more "C" code in the same file that tries to detect some of the specific variants and query the card signature.
