QSerialPort Issues after upgrading from QT 5.11 to QT 5.13

[DanT]

After upgrading from QT 5.11 to QT 5.13 my serial ports on windows 10 have broken. I can no longer send or receive data in the program i have created or in the terminal example program provided by QT. I have used realterm to verify that serial data is coming in form my device. I am setting up the device in a QObject constructor like this:

SerialDevice::SerialDevice(QString const &PORTNAME, QObject *parent)
    : QObject(parent), _device(new QSerialPort(PORTNAME))
{
    _device->setBaudRate(38400);
    _device->setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
    _device->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
    _device->setStopBits(QSerialPort::StopBits::OneStop);
    _device->setFlowControl(QSerialPort::FlowControl::NoFlowControl);
    _device->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);
    QSerialPortInfo info(*_device.get());

   //other values initialized from info here

   QObject::connect(_device.get(), &QSerialPort::readyRead, this, &SerialDevice::dataRead);

In version 5.11 QSerialPort::readyRead is being emitted and data can be read from the serial port, in 5.13 QSerialPort::readyRead is not being emitted and as a result no data is being read from the serial port. I have attempted reinstalling QT 5.13 and i currently have QT versions 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13 installed on my system.

Any ideas or suggestions anyone has for what could be causing this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi @dant,
