Using for example serial-term, or in lisp make-serial-process one can open a serial port within Emacs. But both will fail if the tty is access on a remote computer thought tramp.

Is there any alternative to using a remote Emacs for this?

    On a similar note, we can't use TRAMP paths even for local serial devices (e.g. /su::/dev/ttyS0), which I could imagine as coming in handy if the device's permissions won't normally let you use it.

  • Could you please elaborate what you are trying to achieve? Tramp over serial line or something another?

  • it's serial line over tramp: the tty is not on the local computer, but on another computer. I've a device controlled by serial line, connected to a remote computer, and I want to control it from my local computer. I can do it in shell using ssh then Emacs then serial-term, but I can't control it from my local Emacs then tramp then serial-term.

Tramp doesn't support this, and I have also no plans to implement. But if somebody wants to volunteer an implementation, pls contact me or the the Tramp ML [email protected].

  • Could this be implemented without knowing C?

  • Don't know, haven't investigated yet. But if it goes into Tramp it must be Lisp.
