Setup

  1. Install Rust compiler (if you don't have). Installation on Linux:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Installation on Windows:
Go to address https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install and follow instructions
For more detailed information you can go to: https://doc.rust-lang.ru/book/ch01-01-installation.html

Instruction for setup uart_server project

  1. Clone the repo to your computer:
git clone http://heagit.cosmos.ru/gamkov/uart_server.git
  1. Enter the repo and compile it:
cd <PATH_TO_UART_SERVER>
cargo build --release

After running this commands you will get an execution file (uart_server) in the following directory:
<PATH_TO_UART_SERVER>/target/release/

Using

work with uart_server in CLI mode

  1. See current available serial ports (Ubuntu):
sudo setserial -g /dev/ttyUSB*
  1. for access to operation with hardware run program with sudo (specify available serial port):
sudo ./uart_server -m cli -p /dev/ttyUSB1
  1. In cli mode type 'help' in order to get information about programs command system

work with uart_server in TCP mode

  1. See current available serial ports (Ubuntu):
sudo setserial -g /dev/ttyUSB*
  1. for access to operation with hardware run program with sudo (specify available serial port and desired IP-address, port for uart-server):
sudo ./uart_server -m tcp:127.0.0.1:10000 -p /dev/ttyUSB1

Output uart_server data files description

log files are located in directory: <PATH_TO_UART_SERVER>/log/

description:
cmd_<data>_<user_name_file>.log - file with output data to serial port
data_<data>_<user_name_file>.log - file with input data from serial port
cmd_data_<data>_<user_name_file>.log - file with output and input data to and from serial port

where <data> - file generation date,
<user_name_file> - user filename addition (for more information type help in CLI mode)

File data log fromat:
data represented in csv-format (with ';' separation)
column 1: timestamp in format: YYYY.mm.dd HH:MM:SS.zzz (for example: 2025.03.26 16:00:01.158)
column 2 for cmd and cmd_data log files: data that was sent to the serial port
column 2 for data log file: data that was received from serial port
column 3 for cmd_data log file: data that was received from serial port
column 3 for cmd and data log files: no data available
