Re: Marvell 64360, MPSC Serial Console Problem

Suresh, I think you fixed a symptom but not the problem. By default, the rx buffers are indeed 32 bytes long (i.e., a cacheline in size). When receiving, the mpsc will generate an interrupt when there is an error, when the buffer is full (32 bytes--unlikely if you're typing), or after a timeout. I suspect your timeout value is bogus so you don't get the interrupt until you fill the buffer with 32 bytes. Please compare the platform_data that you pass to the mpsc driver to other, working systems that use the mpsc (e.g., katana and cpci690). In particular, look at your 'max_idle' value. Mark
Mr. Mark, Thank you for your reply. You exactly pointed out the mistake I had done with max_idle. I didn't initialized the mpsc_pdata structure in platform dependent file. Now I initialized max_idle =40. And every thing is working fine. Still facing some problems with mv64360 giga Ethernet driver. I will come back after a little bit of investigation.
