Re: Serial & reset of the device

I'm trying to access a hardware board of my company through a serial
connection using a Python script and the pyserial module.

I use Python 2.7.1 with Ubuntu 11.04 (pyserial is the package python-
serial with version 2.5.2, http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/pyserial_api.html).

The board to which I'm trying to connect works correctly with serial
as some other guys did some TCL scripts to manage it.
My problem is that every time I open a new connection, the device is
reset. I'd like to not have the device reset.

I'm not sure what that means. The RS-232 standard does not have the
concept of "reset". What is it that triggers a device reset?
