20 years ago --- Quote Start --- originally posted by stefanlevie@Mar 16 2006, 06:10 PM the uart core was designed with level interrupts, but unfortunately there was a bug in the timeout interrupt where it was deasserted when the next data byte was received instead of when sw read the uart. changing this eliminated the problem. thanks for the help and pointers.
does anybody have any comments on whether or not the _interrupt_handler code should be changed to prevent an infinite loop?
thanks,
stefan
