Handling serial ports in eLua

[david collier]

I have done a bit of familiarisation with Lua by using it on a PC to chat
to a unit of ours that talks serial.

But that involves using a luars232 library which I'm guessing is
big-computer-specific.

What would one use on a modem or a single-chipper in an OS-less
situation?

Or does someone rewrite luars232 for each build?

One would probably have to use the eLua serial API:

http://www.eluaproject.net/doc/v0.8/en_refman_gen_uart.html

It's not aiming to be compatible with any other serial API, just to be
easy to use and embedded friendly.

Best,
Bogdan
