Subject: [ECOS] AT91 Serial Receive: asserts when buffer fills up
Date: Thu, 31 May 2007 23:17:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <465F4A25.8070407@cipher.com> (raw)
In the serial DSR in at91_serial.c, there is a CYG_FAIL() macro if the
receive buffer fills up. (Line #612)
Is this appropriate? We like to run with asserts turned on (at least
during development), but in our application, overflowing the receive
buffer is not that big of a deal.
It appears that all the other serial drivers quietly throw away
characters if their receive buffer is full. Any complaints if I submit
a patch to do the same in the AT91 driver?
