Lacking full RS232 serial suite #171

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It seems that only 8N1 RS232 at various baud rates is supported, no parity, no 
hardware handshaking, no software handshaking and no 7 bit ASCII or additional 
stop bits.

While you choose to have PropForth remain that way, please at least document 
what is not provided.

This is a per design. The documentation is limited to what propforth DOES, for 
the most part. In this case 8N1, with various bauds. Support was not 
implemented for functions that are not used.  This is the underlying rule for 
microcontroller kernel, at least in propforth.

When a USER has a unique need, the USER may implement any modification to this 
as an extension, and or modify the kernel if needed. This is your individual 
need, it is now your individual pursuit. 

If you feel the need for this documentation, please create a wiki page for this 
topic. 

Please implement and share the extension for various character, parity, and 
stop bit options. 

When thi item is reviewed, we will likely mark it at "per design, no change 
required".  We can also assign it back to you as a place holder to remind you 
to do the write up when you are done.

We have enough outstanding work on documentation, while I agree this would be 
nice it has not even made the list. Volunteers?
