Hi,

I have Downloaded the jUART and built according to mentioned steps in readme.md. It generates npjUART.so. Copied this generated .so file to /usr/lib/.mozilla/plugins directory.

I am trying to know com ports present in the ubuntu machine by calling the getports api.

I could able to see COM port ttyUSB0 in the /dev/ directory. However no devices are displayed when i run the html file. Here is the code I am trying.


function ListPorts() { if ( ser ) ser.close(); console.time("plugin.serial"); ser = plugin().Serial;// Get a Serial object if ( ser ) { console.log("Got serial object successfully..."); } else { alert("ERROR: Could not get serial object!"); return; } console.timeEnd("plugin.serial"); console.time("getports"); ports = ser.getports(); console.timeEnd("getports"); console.log( "Available ports: " + ports); }


Could you please tell if i am missing anything.

Thanks Mahendra.
