Hi Samuel, >From previous email: "You will notice calls to spk_serial_out() in spk_do_catch_up() and spk_synth_flush(). Actually the very first step of your work could be to add a serial_out() method to drivers, which for now would be set to spk_serial_out() in all drivers, and make spk_do_catch_up() and spk_synth_flush() call the method instead of spk_serial_out(). Direct calls to spk_serial_out() within drivers could be converted into calling the method too, so that switching methods will be trivial." So I am wondering if it will be possible to restrict the changes to speakup_dummy while we test the new implementation using tty->ops->write? That means a transitional phase where we have both, the existing serial io for other drivers and new implementation for dummy driver. Or is that what you meant?
