Hi, I have a custom device driver for a PCI RS485 card - it has a 16550 and a PLX PCI bridge on it and I recently found something quite odd.
We used to run the link at 9600 but with some more recent modules we've decided to up it to 115200, so I changed the baud rate easily enough.. However while the bit rate is correct each byte going out has a 1 millisecond delay(!). What is really odd is that when I added some debugging to log how long each write to the FIFO register took I discovered it was 1 millisecond. Reads from the same register take ~5 usec which seems more like it. Does anyone have any idea why it would be so damn slow? -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
