Dynamic C: cof_serXread not reading

Dear All,

I need to forward messages from Serial Port C to Serial Port B and vice versa, whenever port C/D receives any message. I should implement the mulitasking approach to achieve this.

Initially, I tried a very simple code to run, forward a msg from C to B, but unluckily the code doesn't proceed exectution after wfd cof_serXread function. Meaning, the function is never done reading.

Does my problem makes sense? I hope its clear enough.
Your Help Is Highly Appreciated.

void main(){
int n;
static const char msgData[]= {"Hiiii am in serial c"};

brdInit();
serCopen(115200);
serBopen(115200);
loopinit();

while (1) {
loophead();
costate {
//it stops here and goes back to the while cont. 
wfd n = cof_serCread(msgData, strlen(msgData), 20);
wfd cof_serBwrite(msgData, n);
}
}

serCclose();
serBclose();

}

I think strlen(msgData) may be running over because msgData has no null
Change to
static const char msgData[]= {"Hiiii am in serial c\0"};

also i'm not sure what cof_serCread does with msgData but would have thought it stored data in it, but it can't because this is a const array

you may need something like

char msgRead[21];
// it might be a good idea to set the buffer to nulls first
memset(msgRead, 0, sizeof(msgRead));
cof_serCread(msgRead, sizeof(msgRead), 20)

Thank you for your reply, i tried your suggestion but still it gives me the same problem i faced earlier.

Anyways, I removed all the cofunctions because i would like to get a better understanding of sending and recieving msgs to ports.

However, I still have a problem! I created a buffer that i store in it my msgData and pass it to port C then B. I get an empty buffer in port B which am sure that i dont pass an empty array.

Am new to embedded systems development, and your help is highly appreciated.

Please, do have look to the code.

while (1)
{
loophead();
costate
{
memcpy(buffer, msgData, msgData(string2));
serCputs(buffer);
memset(buffer, 0x00, sizeof(buffer));

// n is 0 when i run the code
n = serBread(buffer, sizeof(buffer),20);
serBputs(buffer);
printf("%s", buffer);

}
}
