Detailed Description

Console (VT100 compatible) via Serial interface.

This class allows to connect a VT100-compatible display terminal via the serial interface.

An application to comfortably create a connection (with the ability to configure speed and transfer format) is provided at /proj/i4bs/tools/serial.

For the test systems this has to be executed on the host i4stubs-serial (also known as cip6d0.cip.cs.fau.de).

Example: Connect on i4stubs-serial to the computer 'StuBS4' at 19200 baud with 7 data bits, even parity bit and 2 stop bits:

 /proj/i4bs/tools/serial 4 19200 7e2

Color and position can be adjusted with the help of escape codes.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum SerialStream::Attrib

Attributes can be used to influence the display of the output.

Note: The attributes might not be supported or have a different effect depending on the terminal emulator!

Enumerator
RESET	Turn off character attributes.
BRIGHT	Bold.
DIM	Low intensity (dimmed)
UNDERSCORE	Underline.
BLINK	Blink (slow)
REVERSE	Swap fore & background.
HIDDEN	Concealed.

enum SerialStream::Color

Color codes.

Default VT100 supports eight colors for both foreground and background (later versions 256 [8 bit] and even true color [32 bit]). The actual color is affected by the attributes and can look significantly different depending on the terminal emulator.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SerialStream::SerialStream	(	ComPort	port = `COM1`,
		BaudRate	baud_rate = `BAUD_115200`,
		DataBits	data_bits = `DATA_8BIT`,
		StopBits	stop_bits = `STOP_1BIT`,
		Parity	parity = `PARITY_NONE`
	)

explicit

Constructor for the VT100-compatible console.

Sets up the serial connection as well

Optional:: Implement Method

Member Function Documentation

void SerialStream::flush ( )

virtual

Method to output the buffer contents of the base class Stringbuffer.

The method is automatically called when the buffer is full, but can also be called explicitly to force output of the current buffer.

Optional:: Implement Method

Implements OutputStream.

void SerialStream::setForeground ( Color c )

Change foreground color (for subsequent output)

Optional:: Implement Method

Parameters

c Color

void SerialStream::setBackground ( Color c )

Change background color (for subsequent output)

Optional:: Implement Method

Parameters

c Color

void SerialStream::setAttribute ( Attrib a )

Change text attribute (for subsequent output)

Optional:: Implement Method

Parameters

a Attribute

void SerialStream::reset ( )

Reset terminal.

Clear screen, place cursor at the beginning and reset colors and attributes to the default value.

Optional:: Implement Method

void SerialStream::setPos	(	int	x,
		int	y
	)

Set the cursor position.

Parameters

x	Column in window
y	Row in window

Optional:: Implement Method

bool SerialStream::getPos	(	int &	x,
		int &	y
	)

Read the current cursor position.

It is possible to receive the current cursor position via a special escape code: Request by sending \e[6n, answer will be \e[y;xR with y (row) and x (column) as human readable ASCII character number.

However, depending on the implementation, it may be possible that the system waits endlessly due to an disconnected terminal or data transmission error.

Parameters

x	Column in window
y	Row in window

Returns: true if position was successfully received

Optional:: Implement Method

void SerialStream::print	(	char *	str,
		int	length
	)

Display multiple characters in the window starting at the current cursor position.

This method can be used to output a string, starting at the current cursor position. Since the string does not need to contain a '\0' termination (as it is usually the case in C), the parameter length is required to specify the number of characters in the string.

The text is displayed using the previously configured attributes, fore- and background color.

A line break will occur wherever the character \n is inserted in the text to be output (for compatibility reasons a \r is automatically appended).

Parameters

str	String to output
length	length of string
