Hi,

the simpiest way to fox this problem is to set the fifo size in rt_comP.h to
1 and recompile the driver. This will generate an IRQ for every char.

Hope this helps

Tom

The problem is not the driver but the way the register in the serial port is
set up.
The UART does not generate a interrupt for every char it recived if it has't
been
tould to do so. It is the register for the input fifo.
I think this is what happens. ->
the computer recives a char.
It does NOT make a interrups at once but wait's.
It ganerate a interrupt when "No Charecters have Been removed From or input
to
the RCVR FIFO During the last 4 Char."
(thats 1/(19200/10bits) ~2mSec.)
The driver catch the interrupt. do what ever you wont it to and send a byte
(0.2~ mSec).

I can't remeber if it is posible to set the number of chars before interrups
with the rt_setup call. If not you have to make some minor changes in the
driver.
