I have installed Arch Linux, with 4.6.0.3 Kernel version and performed the same speedtest.
Almost the same, from ~0.25Mbps to ~0.35Mbps. Do you have any idea why? Why would the distribution matter? I choose to install Arch Linux because it came by default with 4.6.x Linux Kernel, and I didn't need to compile a custom one. luni, 16 mai 2016, 01:12:36 UTC+3, Peter Hurley a scris: > > On 05/15/2016 11:35 AM, [email protected] <javascript:> wrote: > > Thank you for testing! > > What distribution are you using? > > > The test unit was Ubuntu 14.04.4 with not-quite-vanilla mainline kernel. > > > duminică, 15 mai 2016, 07:54:55 UTC+3, Peter Hurley a scris: >> >> On 05/14/2016 08:49 AM, [email protected] wrote: >> > That's right, I forgot about start/stop bits. >> > >> > Do 4.x kernels still have this limitation? >> >> A quick i/o test on 4.6.0-rc7 showed no difference in throughput >> between 4096-byte reads and 68-byte reads @ 1.5Mbaud in raw mode. >> >> Both averaged around 144Kchars/sec, or 96% b/w saturation, on >> a not loaded BBB. >> >> NB: the i/o test ran on a single BBB with uart4 sender >> to uart5 receiver.
