[moved] Couldn't launch Serial connection plz help

[mhmd_ward]

hi all

i am using a Nokia 6630 and wishes to launch aserial connection Using Symbian C++ through the DKU-2 cable ( The other end is a RS232 )

i adapted the glassterm in the SDK.

i also read some threads about the Faxmodem process that blockes the serial port and solved it by killing its process 3 times


but i still couldnot launch the serial connection ALTHOUGH i succeded to launch the connection in the EMULATOR

but when putting it on the phone when trying to:

icomm.Open(icommserv,Kportname , ECommExclusive, ECommRoleDTE);

it returns -14 KErrInUse

i donot know why??
please any suggestion

by the way my code is :

	
	TBuf8<50> buf;
	TFullName repName;
	  _LIT8(KFAXMODEM,  "FaxModem" );
	TFindProcess process;
	   for(TInt i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
	   {
	      while(process.Next(repName) != KErrNotFound)
	      {
	         buf.Copy(repName);
	    
	            if ( (buf.Find(KFAXMODEM) != KErrNotFound) )
	          {
	            
	             EchoL(KMess2);
	             RProcess aProcess;
	             aProcess.Open(process);
	             aProcess.Kill(0);
	             aProcess.Close();
	         }
              }
           }

        _LIT(KLddName, "ECOMM");
        _LIT(KPddName, "EUART1");
        _LIT(Kmodulename, "ECUART");
	_LIT(Kportname, "COMM::0");
        _LIT(Kerrorldd,"error ldd");
	_LIT(Kerrorpdd,"error pdd");
	_LIT(Kerrorcommserv,"error commserv");
	_LIT(Kerrorcommmodule,"error commmodule");
	_LIT(Kerrorloadmodule,"error loadmodule");
	TInt r1;
	r1=User::LoadLogicalDevice(KLddName);
	
	if (r1 != KErrNone)
          	EchoL(Kerrorldd);
	r1=User::LoadPhysicalDevice(KPddName);

	if (r1 != KErrNone)
		EchoL(Kerrorpdd);	
	StartC32 ();
	RCommServ icommserv;
	TInt s;
	TInt r;
	s=icommserv.Connect();
	if (s != KErrNone)
		EchoL(Kerrorcommserv);
	s=icommserv.LoadCommModule(Kmodulename);
	if (s != KErrNone)
		{
		EchoL(Kerrorcommmodule);
		}

	RComm icomm;
        r = icomm.Open(icommserv,Kportname ,ECommExclusive,ECommRoleDTE);
// here it returnes KerrInUse
	if (r != KErrNone)
		{
		EchoL(Kerrorloadmodule);
                 }

i am using a Nokia 6630 and wishes to launch aserial connection Using Symbian C++ through the DKU-2 cable ( The other end is a RS232 )

The DKU-2 is not a serial cable, so I would have some doubts about RS-232
If you search for USB in the Wiki, you will quickly find a document describing serial communication over the USB cable, but the article says it applies only to S60 3rd edition.

hi wizard_hu_,
thnx for your reply
i have an rs232 cable that connected to the phone in the bottom
( the same port for the DKU-2 ) so i thing it will work

but the question is not about the cable the question is why the COMM::0 is still in use after i had killed the faxmode process(3 times)
have you any ideas?
or anybody who faces problem like this ?

thnx in advance

As far as I know no S60 device uses the serial pins of the "pop-port". That can be a reason. Glassterm example usually works with the infra port of S60 1st and 2nd edition devices, however the 6630 has no infra.

[mhmd_ward]

hi,
i have read more than one thread in Newlc.com and more than one person achieved to open the serial port of the 6630 and use it by Glassterm adapting

i'm also ran my program well on the emulator

also in the phone until reaches the command icom.open(.....)
which returns the KerrInUse

so all i need to know if i'm succeeded to kill the faxmodem process proberly ( my code down there )?

or is there another process that uses the COMM::0 port and i have to kill it?
thnx in advance

by the way here is alink of thread about that subject:
http://www.newlc.com/topic-6353

I still do not think that the 6630 would support an RS-232 cable, they are using a DKU-2 USB cable in the referred thread.
Serial communication over USB is also described in the Wiki (just search for USB), though I did not know that it works on 2nd edition devices.

[mhmd_ward]

hi all
ok wizard_hu_ if so why there is aglass term example in the s60
2nd edition fp2 (v8) that describes how to connect to the comm server and loads the ECUART module and EUART1 PDD ?

also i mentiond that my program runs sucessfully on the emulator and i could read and write to the serial port of the computer but in the device when tryimg to open the COMM :: 0 it returns KerrInUse ? it driving me crazy


please please if any one has suggestion send it fast cause if these method donot work i will have alot to learn about the USB
thnx to everybody
bye and waiting?

Remember that the SDK-s are not model-specific. Glassterm example also supports IrDA, and that actually works on S60 2nd edition having infra port. The 6630 is just not amongst them. Also note that 'Examples' are originating from Symbian, so they are absolutely not guaranteed to run (in fact some of them does not run/function at all, and none of them has .pkg file for example). 'S[eries]60Ex' contains the stuff coming from Nokia, and those examples usually work.
The emulator is not device specific neither. Just try clicking on an icon/listbox item in the emulator with your mouse. Then try repeating it on the 6630.

In case of the 6630, bluetooth can be the other option than USB. Personally I do not know if the USB-code really works, bluetooth does.

hi wizard_hu_

thank u very much for your reply although u had disappointed me

but also i need to know why when opening the COMM:: 0 on the mobile returns to me KerrInUse although i had killed the faxmodem????????
So all i need to know how to kill the fax modem process FOREVER
and it couldnot be loaded until rebooting
please help

thnx in advance

KErrInUse means the the port is in used while the USB is connected to the PC.

So you should do like wizard_hu said, try to connect the PC with Infra, or Bluetooth, but not USB any more.
