This is a single head serial communication library for linux device.

Serial Communication Library

This is a single header library for interfacing with rs-232 serial like ports written in C++.

Quick Start

This library is very intuitive to use, here is an example of how it can be used to list all available serial ports.

#include <iostream>
#include "serial_lite.h"

using namespace std;
using namespace serial;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    for (const auto& port : SerialInfo::list_port()) {
        cout << port << endl;
    }
}

The next example shows how to send and receive serial data.

#include <iostream>
#include "serial_lite.h"

using namespace std;
using namespace serial;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    Serial serial("ttyACM0", 115200);
    uint8_t buf[10];

    serial.init();
    while (true) {
        serial.read(buf, 10);
        serial.write(buf, 10);
    }
}

Note that the read operation blocks until at least one byte data has been received.
