>>And I will finally learn a python ;) Thanks for using my language. I read and thought about your code but in the end I chose to use SSH rather then telnet. SSH support is already present in the debian distribution I am using so I could get it working without writing any more code on the beagle bone side.
>> If that's a sustained rate, and not burst, it is likely extreme for serial protocols. After rechecking my numbers, I agree it was a bad idea for me to be using serial for this data rate. I have switched to using SSH. I attach a minimal example below that I wrote to prove that the communication is faster and error free. To run this the paramiko library is required. import paramiko import time # setup logging paramiko.util.log_to_file('BBB_paramiko.log') port = 22 # hostname = '192.168.1.34' # highest measured bytes per second over ethernet: 7,868,481 hostname = '192.168.7.2' # highest measured bytes per second over usb: 5,941,004 username = 'root' password = '' client = paramiko.SSHClient() client.load_system_host_keys() client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) client.connect(hostname, port, username, password) stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command('yes 1234567890', bufsize=2**24) print('streaming started') startTime = time.perf_counter() total_data = 0 for i in range(10_000): line = stdout.readline() if line == '1234567890\n': total_data += len(line) else: print(line) # x = stdout.read(10_000) # this is faster then readline # total_data += len(x) print(f'bytes per second: {int(total_data/(time.perf_counter()-startTime))}') client.close() The above program transfers data with no losses at an average rate of 2,580,544 bytes per second. The speed changes according to how the data is processed on the PC side so that is probably the speed limitation now. Now that I have proven the communication works fine I will make my pressure data stream over SSH. At some point in the future I will probably remove the checksums on the pressure data once I can show there are no checksum failures in production. I don't need any more help, thanks everyone. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
