how sending and recieving file via serial port

[Alex22]

Hi,
I want to send a file via serial port (rs232) on a device to another device. Any idea for doing this by Qt?

[Alex22]

I think after setting some thing like baud rate, bit data, stop bits, parity and etc then i can use this code for sending file:

{
QFile file(fileName);
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)){
qDebug() << "Open file fault";
start(false);
port->close();
return;
}
QByteArray data = file.readAll();
quint64 r = port->write(data);
port->waitForBytesWritten(responseTimeout);
port->waitForReadyRead(responseTimeout);
cout<<r<<endl;
if (r == quint64(data.size())) qDebug() << "Writed text file.";
else qDebug() << "Bytes writed small: " << r;
}



how much mega bytes cab sent by serial port? and could i consider a checksum for sending and recieving all right?

Serial port can transfer any number of bytes - it is only a pipe. That you have to define a protocol and transmit the data in an orderly manner so that the recipient can interpret them correctly.

PS
An example protocol for file transfer is xmodem or zmodem.
