Hello,
I am experimenting with the BORPH shared FIFOs. In particular I would like
to use a shared FIFO that is 8 bits wide. I find I have no trouble writing
32 bits at a time (4 octets), which then shows up as 4 8-bit values in the
fifo. However I really need to be able to write just one 8 bit value at a
time. When I try to do this, after writing a single byte to the file, fflush
blocks and never returns. I guess this is something to do with BORPH/Linux
only being able to write bytes to a pipe in 32 bit words. Does anyone know
how to solve this problem? If nothing else I guess I'll just have to request
a 32 bit wide fifo and only use 8 bits of it.
Thanks,
Glenn
