[PATCH linux-next 1/4] ARM: at91/dt: add new DT properties for Atmel usart

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



add 3 new properties:
- "atmel,fifo-size": to enable FIFO support
- "atmel,rts-low-threshold" and "atmel,rts-high-threshold": to control
  the hardware handshake flow control.

+- atmel,fifo-size: size of the TX and RX FIFOs. That is to say the maximum
+  number of data each FIFO can store. A positive size enables FIFO support.
+  A zero size or a missing property disables FIFO support.
+- atmel,rts-low-threshold: when the RX FIFO level, ie the number of data
+  available to be read from the RX FIFO, crosses down this threshold the RTS
+  line is driven to low level to tell the remote peer that it can (re)start
+  sending new data.
+- atmel,rts-high-threshold: when the RX FIFO level crosses up this threshold,
+  the RTS line is driven to high level to tell the remote peer that it should
+  stop sending new data.
+
+0 < rts-low-threshold < rts-high-threshold <= fifo-size
+
+These two thresholds are only used when both the FIFO support and the hardware
+handshake mode are enabled.
