Re: Proposed modification to PL2303 driver

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

 



Hello, I'm working with a PL2303 device and I had an issue with the
driver. Basically, I can't set the baudrate to 250kbps, but everything
is better explained here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17000078/prolific-pl2303-serial-port-to-250000bps
I think that removing lines from 332 to 348 of the driver the device
will work even with non-standard (but common in embedded devices)
baudrates. Baudrates standards were set a long time ago to use the
same clock to generate human-compatible timing, for example with
32.768kHz crystals. Nowadays, crystals come mostly in round numbers,
and the Prolific device makes no exception, having a 12MHz clock. In
all my embedded project I'm running these non-standard baudrates for
that same reason.
I don't see any negative effects that may derive from this
modification, but please let me know if there are any.
Best regards
