[Nut-upsuser] Serial comm errors with bcmxcp on HP R3000 XR

[David S. Madole]

I have setup nut-2.4.1 with the bcmxcp driver for my HP R3000 XR unit
and although it appears to work, I receive the following sorts of errors
in syslog:

Aug 27 10:33:05 sv18 bcmxcp[6373]: Communications with UPS lost: Receive
error (data): got 0 bytes instead of 64!!!
Aug 27 10:33:15 sv18 bcmxcp[6373]: Communications with UPS lost: Receive
error (data): got 0 bytes instead of 64!!!
Aug 27 10:38:57 sv18 bcmxcp[6373]: Communications with UPS lost: Receive
error (data): got 0 bytes instead of 64!!!
Aug 27 10:40:04 sv18 bcmxcp[6373]: Communications with UPS lost: Receive
error (Request command): 0!!!
Aug 27 10:43:38 sv18 bcmxcp[6373]: Communications with UPS lost: Receive
error (Request command): 0!!!

After about 15 hours the driver exits and has to be restarted.

Here is my ups.conf:

[ups2]
  driver = bcmxcp
  port = /dev/ttyS1
  desc = "HP R3000 XR"
  baud_rate = 19200

The system is running Slackware Linux 12.1 and nut was built from source.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David
