Thanks, I have downloaded the cvs -z3 -d

server:anonymous@qextserialport.cvs.sourceforge.ne t:/cvsroot/qextserialport co -P q4extserialport as i am using Qt v 4.6.1, i am able to build the code.. & when i run it tells the one port opened. but i am not able to write to the port. i just inserted the code.. for writing
if( sp1.open() )
{
qDebug("+++ Opened first");
/* */
char data[] = { 0x00, 0x7F, 0x80, 0xFF };
if( sp1.write( data, 4 ) == 4 )
{
qDebug("+++ Transmitted");
....
...}
the control is not going inside the if( sp1.write( data, 4 ) == 4 ), & i am getting sp1.write( data, 4 ) = 0.
what could be problem.. & how to use this project for actual my project where i will be connecting a mifare card reader to the serial port. what are the steps..

I don't see how your code would work, you are not specifying which port, the port parameters (speed, parity, etc) or flow control (rts/cts etc). They must match your target device.
