linux串口工具cu,Mac系统中串口设备tty和cu的区别

You might notice that each serial device shows up twice in /dev,

once as a tty.* and once as a cu.*. So, what's the difference?

Well, TTY devices are for calling

into UNIX systems, whereas CU (Call-Up)

devices are for calling

out from them (eg, modems). We want to

call-out from our Mac, so /dev/cu.* is the correct device to

use.

The technical difference is that /dev/tty.* devices will wait

(or listen) for DCD (data-carrier-detect), eg, someone calling in,

before responding. /dev/cu.* devices do not assert DCD, so they

will always connect (respond or succeed) immediately.

举例，接入一个USB串口串口转换线后，会查询到两个串口设备。

ls /dev/cu.*

/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port

/dev/cu.usbserial-FT9FTKXV

/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem

ls /dev/tty.*

/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port

/dev/tty.usbserial-FT9FTKXV

/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem
