Com. script for /dev/ttyS0

[Mathieu Deschamps]

Hello,

As i've seen there are no tool to handle ttyS0 communication, I've
done some tiny scripts to handle this in bash so it relies on linux.
It logs and calculate the elapse time of hearing, that could be 
interrupt. That's very minimal, I find it useful and the command line
of hear isn't that simple.

 To use them, you just have to check out your com driver with your
actual LB Baud rate :

[root at ge] cat /proc/tty/driver/serial 

serinfo:1.0 driver:5.05c revision:2001-07-08
0: uart:16550A port:3F8 irq:4 baud:9600 tx:967431 rx:955468 fe:2155
brk:2 
1: uart:16550A port:2F8 irq:3 baud:9600 tx:3 rx:0

Then copy these file hear.sh and digest.sh  (note:render 'em executable)

Of course, first, you should test hear.sh  in typing  : echo "test"
>/dev/ttyS0 on you build station and see what you'll get, to end and
close dialog you can send a /dev/null or CTRL Interrup the listener.

It has helped me keeping trails, so if could for you.
