[ECOS] cyg_io_read

[grahamlab]

Hello all
I am having trouble understanding the operation of the cyg_io_read
operation.
I have a simple programto read the /dev/ser1 device on my stm3120e dev
board.
If i set blocking on read then my cyg_io_read call only returns when the
specified number of bytes has been received -

char msg[10]
cyg_uint32 msglen=10;
res = cyg_io_read(handle,msg,&msglen); // returns when 10 bytes have been
received.

However, I want to read bytes as they arrive. With this in mind I set the
device to operate in non blocking mode -
block = 0;
len = sizeof(cyg_uint32);
cyg_io_set_config(handle,CYG_IO_SET_CONFIG_SERIAL_READ_BLOCKING,&block,&len);

I set up my code to ignore EAGAIN errors on the read -
    while(1)
    {
    	char msg[10];
    	cyg_uint32 msglen=10;

    	res = cyg_io_read(handle,msg,&msglen);
    	if (res != -EAGAIN)
    	{
    		diag_printf ("read %d %d\n",res,msglen);
    		for (cyg_uint32 x = 0; x < msglen; ++x)
    		{
    			diag_printf("%c",msg[x]);
    		}
    		diag_printf("\n\n");
    	}

With this in place I expected to receive all bytes sent by the sending
program , BUT NO
I only receive the first 2 or three. If I send single characters I get these
but if I send anything more I dont get what I sent.

I would be grateful if someone could explain this behavior.

Thanks Graham
