Agreed, but as soon as device setup is through with your device (thus the "properly configured character device") and your reading program behaves nicely (which I'd expect GR's file_sink to do), just reading from a character device should work, if I'm not mistaken.

However, this brings us to a new question: "serial" doesn't really say what kind of interface we're talking about; there's a whole lot of bytes that you can not send over a 1980's style UART as used for the RS-232 peripheral on PCs, and thus the data that comes in over that has to be decoded first; you could write a block that converts these bytes to bytes, or, and this is more likely, you already have software that does that, and writes the result to a file, or prints it on standard output. You could then connect the output of that to GNU Radio, e.g. using a named pipe.

Hi Julian,
this really depends on how your serial data gets into your PC, but assuming you're on linux and have the data coming in over a properly configured character device (ie. something that appears as /dev/ttyS* or the like), you could just use the file source and open that device.

Greetings,

TTY I/O on Unix is a bit weird.  You'd have to open it, and configure it (into RAW mode for one).

Hey there! i'm working on a proyect of comunications and i need to get my
serial data stream into gnuradio companion, so i'm looking for a block (2
actually) that can make this work, i tried to install pyserial and
gr-pyserial but repository is down, so i'm looking for alternatives, that
make me skip programming it myself (becoues of my low programing skills ),
so i though serial port is pretty comun, some one else had to build it
before, if you know some blocks which could help me i would be very
thankfull
