Hello GrandAdmiral,

I have the same problem. I need also a blocking read with timeout for the FIFOED UART. My intention was to use the ioctl() functions to set the type of the reading (blocking or non-blocking) and to set the timeout value for the driver.

Actually I did not do anything on that project for several months and I remember that I had problems with the ioctl() for that driver in general.

Has maybe someone else a solution for this proiblem?
