Hello,
We are using the FADS board and MPC860T CPU, with ELDK 2.0.2 (kernel
06-10-2002).
We have a device that communicates over RS232 at 9600 bps. This device has
a 4 mSec timeout, i.e we have to reply in less then 4mSec.
The packets are usually small (4-6 Bytes). We communicate successfully with
the device, but only if we change the timeout to above 10mSec.
It seems that it takes 5-8 mSec for us to reply. This is the same if we use
SMC or SCC. We tried to play with the MAX_IDL and the Tx/Rx buffer sized,
but with no success.
Has anyone an idea on how to minimize the uart latency?
If we use the same code on a PC (i386) we reply in 300 microSec.
Thank you, and a happy New Year
Eli Brin
