Hello,

I'm trying to send a break signal to the mbed serial from OSX to reset the mbed. I have tried with zterm/screen. It does not seem to work.

I have tried to do it using tcsendbreak() function.

Using putty to send break command on windows works fine though.

Is there anything i should be doing ? Has anyone tried to do this ?

Thanks

Hi Olivier,

I just tried with screen on my mac, and couldn't get it to work. The internet seems to suggest many OSX serial drivers don't support sending break, so not obvious it can be made to work easily (we just use the default mac serial driver that is already installed).

I'll put a note to investigate the next time we update the firmware, although it may be it just won't work on mac.

Not sure what you are doing, but you could detect a certain character on the serial port and call extern "C" mbed_reset(); to give (almost) the same behaviour if that is useful.
