Difference between /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/cua0

Nov 02, 2004 0 Replies

Hi there,



I've got a question about the difference between /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/cua0. Im using the serial port to transmit data to a microcontroller and I've got to PC both with SuSE Linux 9.0 prof. On the one I can use both ttyS0 and cua0 and on the other I can only use cua0? Why is that and where is the difference between them? I know that cua0 was thought for connections to modems and that it is deprecated. Can anybody tell me maybe what options I have to check to get my prog working with /dev/ttyS0 on both PC?



Thanks for your help



Thomas
