Echo main console to serial port

plasmab · 31 July 2018, 22:02

Dumb question.

I want to be able to pipe/echo anything printed in the initial amiga os console to the serial port at start up time. Preferably by specifying some command in the startup sequence.

I have managed to get a new console on the serial port but i want to echo what is written to the console window to the serial port. I am not starting workbench. Simply running an executable from floppy with a lot of output that i want to capture via the serial port.

My startup-sequence currently is :

C:MyCommand

and my floppy disk contains C/MyCommand and S/Startup-Sequence only. I have no other drives and writing to floppy is not an option.

I do not need the serial port to be interactive but if it is thats not a problem.

EDIT: I'll happily take code to fprintf() to the serial port also if anyone knows how.

Do you need to see output in the console too, or is it enough to just see it on serial port?
The obvious thing to try is...

Code:

C:MyCommand >SER:

AUX: is unbuffered serial I think?.
There is a KPrintF() in debug.lib but I guess you know that.

That doesnt work on a minimal disk though. Just popup up a dialog saying Please insert disk AUX: or SER: in any drive.

I didnt know that but my vbcc install says debug.lib doesnt exist. :/

At least -ldebug didnt find a library.

You may need to add aux-handler or how it is called on disk and a mount file.

Not useful for my purposes. I use diagrom for that.
