EM-1240-LX Device API

5-2

RTC (Real-time Clock)

The device node is located at /dev/rtc. The EM-1240-LX supports µClinux standard simple
RTC control. You must include <linux/rtc.h> to use these functions.

1.

Function: RTC_RD_TIME

int ioctl(fd, RTC_RD_TIME, struct rtc_time *time);

Description: Reads time information from RTC.

2.

Function: RTC_SET_TIME

int ioctl(fd, RTC_SET_TIME, struct rtc_time *time);

Description: Sets RTC time.

Buzzer

The device node is located at /dev/console. The EM-1240-LX supports µClinux standard
buzzer control. The EM-1240-LX’s buzzer runs at a fixed frequency of 100 Hz. You must include
<sys/kd.h>

to use these functions.

1.

Function: KDMKTONE

ioctl(fd, KDMKTONE, unsigned int arg);

Description: Buzzer will beep, as stipulated by the function

arguments.

UART Interface

The normal tty device node is located at /dev/ttyM0…ttyM1, and modem tty device node is
located at /dev/com0 … com1. The EM-1240-LX Series supports µClinux standard termios
control. Moxa UART Device API supports the configuration of ttyM0 to ttyM1 as
RS-232/422/485. To use these functions, after the Tool Chain package is installed, include

<moxadevice.h>

in your application.

#define RS232_MODE

0

#define RS485_2WIRE_MODE

1

#define RS422_MODE

2

#define RS485_4WIRE_MODE

1.

Function: MOXA_SET_OP_MODE

int mode;
mode=which mode you want to set;
int ioctl(fd, MOXA_SET_OP_MODE, &mode)

Description: Sets the interface mode.

2.

Function: MOXA_GET_OP_MODE

int mode;
int ioctl(fd, MOXA_GET_OP_MODE, &mode)

Description: Gets the interface mode.
