Subject: [9fans] eia overruns at 115k baud...
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 11:05:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <948281b86b66dede835fe0b44ba0c92b@yourdomain.dom> (raw)

Hi,

This is not really surprising but I get serial port overruns
on /dev/eia1 when reading at 115k baud (450Mhz PII).

Unfortunately I need this rate to talk to the bootstrap the
embedded systems we use here, and big xilinxes have BIG image files.

The serial interface does not use any handshaking, though it is a stop and
wait protocol and the packest are only 512 bytes, so that size of RX buffer
should be sufficent.

Just before I start hacking, anyone know of any inherent limitations
in the which might scupper me? I guess I need 1ms interrupt latency
(16 byte FIFOs), is this too much to expect from a multitasking kernel?

-Steve
