CSerialPort

中文

CSerialPort is a lightweight cross-platform serial port library based on C++, which can easy to read and write serial port on multiple operating system. Also support C, C#, Java, Python, Node.js, Electron etc.

---

Design Principles

• Cross-platform
• Easy to use
• Higher efficiency

Platform

CSerialPort was tested on the following platforms

• Windows ( x86, x86_64, arm64 )
• Linux ( x86, x86_64, arm, arm64/aarch64, mips64el, riscv, s390x, ppc64le )
• macOS ( x86_64 )
• Raspberry Pi ( armv7l )
• FreeBSD ( x86_64 )
• ...

Todo List

Long-term Goal

• 1.support windows and linux first
• 2.add communicating protocol
• 3.support hot swap - CSerialPortExtend
• 4.higher efficiency notify module - replace with CSerialPortListener
• 5.support other language - C, C#, Java, Python, Node.js, Electron etc. - more information bindings
• 6.sync serial port communication
• 7.new cross-platform gui serial port tool - CommMaster
• 8.add introduction and tutorial of CSerialPort - CSerialPort Tutorial
• 9.serial port monitor hook

Short-term Goal

• 1.cross-platform OS identify class
• 2.cross-platform thread class
• 3.cross-platform lock class
• 4.cross-platform higher efficiency timer class
• 5.cross-platform thread pool class
• 6.Performance test report(Throughput && delay && packet dropout rates)
