You may need to recompile comport or use a different port: As default it only
accepts up to 8 comports.
Therse is this in comport.c:
#define COMPORT_MAX 8
static char *sys_com_port[COMPORT_MAX] =
{
"COM1", "COM2", "COM3", "COM4",
"COM5", "COM6", "COM7", "COM8"
};
which you can try to change to something like:
#define COMPORT_MAX 12
static char *sys_com_port[COMPORT_MAX] =
{
"COM1", "COM2", "COM3", "COM4",
"COM5", "COM6", "COM7", "COM8"
"COM9", "COM10", "COM11", "COM12"
};
but I just guessed this, so no guarantees.
Ciao
