(If it polls the UART, it could probably avoid any fifo overflow.) You may also want to try lrzsz. > Since mcf54415 has a 4 slots RX fifo UART, Ouch. At 115200 baud, that FIFO overflows after about 347 microseconds. If the kernel takes one interrupt per 4 bytes, you're looking at thousands of interrupts per second. Add a little unexpected interrupt latency (say, 50 microseconds) and the next byte gets lost. -- > i was wondering if the mcf.c uart driver is not fast enough to read the > data, or, where the "linux" limitation could be. > > Regards, > Angelo Dureghello > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in > the body of a message to [email protected] > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
