[Tiva TM4C123] UART write succeeds but throws OSError 116

[ExXec]

Hey,

can someone tell me, where the errno 116 can be issued in the call stack for UART?
I can't find the line.

I didn't find this error code in the errno table, but I read in another post, that this is a timeout error.

I'm having trouble getting it to work, it successfully sends the data but shows

Code: Select all

>>> uart.write('hallo')                                                         
Traceback (most recent call last):                                              
  File "<stdin>", in <module>                                                   
OSError: 116

This only happens with free running code, if I step manually from stream.c:233 it works just fine.


Thanks,

OSError 116 is ETIMEDOUT.

For the pyboard, there are 2 places:
https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... art.c#L676
https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... art.c#L696

Both in the uart_tx_data function. This could be flow control related, or the timeout specified when the UART was opened is too small for the baud rate?

It could also happen if HAL_GetTick isn't accurate since that's how the UART determines if the timeout has expired or not.

Ah, I see.
This is really strange, because my IDE says MP_ETIMEDOUT is defined as 110.
So I got confused where 116 is coming from.

Thank you!

mperrno.h has 2 sets of error codes depending on how MICROPY_USE_INTERNAL_ERRNO is set i your mpconfigport.h

The pyboard has MICROPY_USE_INTERNAL_ERRNO set to 1 which would make MP_ETIMEDOUT be 110. But if it's not defined or set to zero, the MP_ETIMEDOUT will be set to ETIMEDOUT which comes from toolchain errno.h. For ARM, ETIMEDOUT is 116.
