    Is your fd the serialport?
    Again, as asked before, why are you not using QSerialPort?
    What is your target, the task you need to get done?

      Basic serial port usage as I have worked on is

      @ serial=new QSerialPort(this);

      serial->setPortName("/dev/ttyS0");
      serial->setBaudRate(9600);
      serial->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
      serial->setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
      serial->setFlowControl(QSerialPort::NoFlowControl);
      
      
      serial->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);
      
      serial->write("Hello World");
      
      connect(serial,SIGNAL(readyRead()),this,SLOT(readSerialData()));@

        .. and the readSerialData() ... (pseudo code)
        @
        void QTGUI_MainWindow::readSerialData()
        {
        while((iBytesAvailable = serial->bytesAvailable()))
        {
        QByteArray RawPortData = serial->read(iBytesAvailable);
        ...

        @

          int main(int argc, char *argv[])
          {

          QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
          fd = open(MODEMDEVICE,O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY);

          While(true)

          {
          Buffer.clear();
          nreturn = read(fd,&chBuf,1);
          if(nreturn > 0)
          {
          for(i=0;i<nreturn;i++)
          {
          Buffer.append(chBuf[i]);

          if(chBuf[0] == 0xc9) nReadIndex = 0;

          pData[nReadIndex++] = chBuf[i];

          qDebug() << "data" << Buffer.toHex();
          }
          if(chBuf[0] == 0xcf)
          {

          if(nReadIndex >= 10)

          //Display of Gui opreration //

          nReadIndex = 0;

          }

          For this how can i use timers instead of while loop, where should i start timer , i tried but am geting segmentation problem.Please help me

            Your issue seems not to be about the serial port. Please open a new thread for a new topic.

            btw: You seem to be very reluctant in using QSerialPort.

                      Without any proper code, I can't.

                              That won't really help debugging but from the looks of it, you are using the linux platform API, so please ask this on a linux dedicated forum.

                              There's also this "how to":http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Serial-Programming-HOWTO/x115.html that should give you some hints and this "stack overflow post":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6947413/how-to-open-read-and-write-from-serial-port-in-c
