Specifying non-standard baud rate for FTDI virtual serial port under Linux

Question

I have a USB device I\'m trying to communicate with over a virtual serial port provided by the ftdi_sio kernel module. However, I\'m having some trouble setting the baud rat

Answer 1

Shodanex's solution works with an NDI Polaris Spectra (baud 1.2mbps) under Linux. As specified, open the serial device (/dev/ttyUSB0) with B38400,

int port = open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NONBLOCK);
tcgetattr(port,&g_initialAtt);// save this to restore later
newAtt=g_initialAtt;
newAtt.c_cflag = B38400 | CS8 | CLOCAL | CREAD; 
cfmakeraw(&newAtt);
tcsetattr(port,TCSANOW,&newAtt);

then execute:

if(ioctl(port, TIOCGSERIAL, &sstruct) < 0){
    printf("Error: could not get comm ioctl\n"); 
    exit(0); 
}
sstruct.custom_divisor = custDiv;
//sstruct.flags &= 0xffff ^ ASYNC_SPD_MASK; NO! makes read fail.
sstruct.flags |= ASYNC_SPD_CUST; 
if(ioctl(port, TIOCSSERIAL, &sstruct) < 0){
    printf("Error: could not set custom comm baud divisor\n"); 
    exit(0); 
}
