No, our video input comes from an FPGA... >If yes then I think there should not be any problem. ...and as our video data is 8 bits wide, we use only CCD0-CCD7 and hence we have no pin muxing conflicts with UART2. > Also are you using the UART with flow control??? Yes and no. We have hardware flow control enabled, and have not had any problems with losing bytes, but we have not actually confirmed that the HW flow control is functional. The amount of serial data we pass is low enough relative to our baud rate that it's very unlikely a re- ceive buffer would ever fill up. >Because in some of the previous posts people had faced problems with flow >control. Really...I missed that but would like to know more. But a Google search for site:linux.omap.com "flow control" uart davinci returns only 2 hits, neither of which indicates a problem with flow con- trol. Would you be able to send me a pointer / reference to these previ- ously mentioned issues? Thanks, Tom P.S. It would be nice if you could limit your lines to <80 chars, either manually or by appropriately configuring your MUA. This link illustrates why: <http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/davinci-linux-open-source/2008-March/005847.html> Plus, line lengths of ~72-75 chars are standard practice on most mail- lists.
