Not one of my USB/serial dongles creates a single /dev/cuxxxxxx file, not one. Did you have to do something special to get the driver to create those files? Is there something I have to turn on in the OS to get this to happen? I've installed the very latest Prolific driver, it di

But- the idea of interrupts is to do the minimum, set a flag, increment a counter, or some such and *immediately* dismiss the interrupt without lingering. Perhaps that's what you are doing, rather than how you said it, below. -----Original Message----- From: AVR-Chat@yahoogroups.

Well, I suppose that the maximum latency would the the time between data coming in on serial line. That will depend on the highest speed you ever plan on using. Baud rate is about the same bits ber second. So 9600 baud is about 100uS per bit. About 1000uS per byte 115200 baud is

Eventually, you will have to breadboard up things and try something. The ATtiny13 does not have a uart so you will have to write the code with timing and all anyway. It would be easy to make a simple measurement to find out the bit time and go from there. Incidentally, I haven't

As an aside (this doesn't refer to AVR's), Altera will evidently give you a 6-month license for their programs for CPLD's (MAX+PLUSII and Quartus). After the 6 months is up, you can just renew it free. The license isn't even needed if you just want to program the CPLD's with an a

If you mean that served instantly means the latency can't exceed X microseconds, what is X? The ISR for UART RX should be more than a few 10's of microseconds. If you need a latency of 10 microseconds or less, generally, perhaps you have the wrong design approach.
