fast communication problem

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

 



Hi all !

I'm running a 2.6.14 linux on 96 MHz MIPS processor. I need to cope
with a device that sends a byte of data every 50 microsecond through
an UART with no FIFO. What would be the best (well, the least
horrible) way to handle that ? The good point is that I know when the
communication starts.
One of the (horrible) idea I have : to freeze the system so that it
deals only with the communication interrupts. But the communications
can be quite long (under some conditions about one second), so I don't
know what could be the consequences.

Any idea, any help, any "good luck" will be welcomed !

Ivan
