Console input/output in eLua
================================================================================
NOTE: this document describes the terminal support over serial connections
only. Refer to docs/elua_components.txt to learn how to enable console
support over TCP/IP instead of serial connections.
The console input/output is handled by a generic layer (src/newlib/genstd.c)
that can be adapted to a variety of input/output devices. It needs just two
functions, one for displaying characters and another one for receiving input:
(BEGIN inc/newlib/genstd.h)
// Send/receive function types
typedef void ( *p_std_send_char )( int fd, char c );
typedef int ( *p_std_get_char )();
(END inc/newlib/genstd.h)
(the send faction gets an additional 'fd' parameter that you can use to
differentiate between STDOUT and STDERR).
To set them, use std_set_send_func and std_set_get_func. Generally this happens
in the "platform_init" function (see "platform interface.txt") to set the
initial "console" device:
(BEGIN src/platform/at91sam7x/platform.c)
int platform_init()
{
.........................
// Set the send/recv functions
std_set_send_func( uart_send );
std_set_get_func( uart_recv );
.........................
}
(END src/platform/at91sam7x/platform.c)
The code above makes it possible for you to use the UART as the Lua console,
thus being able to use the standard Lua interpreter (for example) via your
serial connection.
If you need another console device, just call std_set_send_func/std_set_get_func
with the appropriate function pointer.
