omap-uboot-utils supports usb2serial device

It has been a long time desire to use usb2serial convertors for pserial application. :(.. Anyways, yesterday night, I looped back my usb2serial back to my PCI serial port and tried to write a bit of loopback code.. to figure out the issue with pserial, I wrote a simple little app to print the ttySx flags:

---

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>

/************* VARS   ***************/
static int fd;
static struct termios oldtio;

int main(int argc,char * argv[])
{
      int ret;
      int i;
      if (argc!=2){
              printf ("error no args..%d\n",argc);
              return 1;
      }
      printf ("port: %s\n",argv[1]);
      fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY);
      if (!fd) {
              printf("terminal is not open!\n");
              return 1;
      }
      /* save current port settings */
      ret = tcgetattr(fd, &oldtio);
      if (ret < 0) {
              printf("failed to get old attribs\n");
              ret= 1;
              goto quit;
      }
      ret = 0;
      printf ("c_iflag  = 0x%04X\n",oldtio.c_iflag);
      printf ("c_oflag  = 0x%04X\n",oldtio.c_oflag);
      printf ("c_cflag  = 0x%04X\n",oldtio.c_cflag);
      printf ("c_lflag  = 0x%04X\n",oldtio.c_lflag);
      printf ("c_line   = 0x%02X\n",oldtio.c_line);
      printf ("c_ispeed = 0x%04X\n",oldtio.c_ispeed);
      printf ("c_ospeed = 0x%04X\n",oldtio.c_ospeed);
      for (i=0;i<NCCS;i++){
              printf("     c_cc[%d]=0x%02X\n",i,oldtio.c_cc[i]);
      }
quit:
      close(fd);
      return ret;

}

Comparing the vals with /usr/include/bits/termios.h, it was educational to first use minicom to communicate with even parity bit, then try the same with my pserial mods.. Initially found few flag setting issues, later found a fundamental error in my assumption in s_close function -> i assumed that it will happen at the end of transmission, in the case of a pci serial port, this would be true, but in the case of a usb2serial convertor, it looks like the data is send to the device but not actually transmitted on the lines :(.. a delay solved the issue..

bah!!! something silly!!! anyways, the patches are pushed to mainline omap-uboot-utils now.. you can get the source here . Will tag and make a binary zip for upload here a week from now if folks could let me know if things are working fine.... Meanwhile, I will try and create an beagle nand recovery tool updater later tonight.. just a bunch of wgets and ucmds I assume..
