hi all,
I want to execute the write() function continuously to write data to a ser
port. But I find that every time the write runs about 40 times (40 bytes
each time), there is a pause for about 6 seconds. I don’t know why there is
such a break in the write() loop. Can you tell me how to make the write
operation smooth? Is there any termios configuration issue?
Thanks!
John

What is the baud rate of your serial port? What serial port driver
are you running? What command-line option, if any, have you supplied
to it?
Without further evidence, it sounds like you’re running at about
2400 baud, and you fill up the output queue, then block while it
drains, fill it up again, then block again… etc.

The baud is 57600bps. I can set the baud in the source. The driver I use is
devc-ser8250. the command line is as below:
How can I set the size of the ser port? Is there anything I can do to make
the transmission more smooth?

Well, my guess was wrong, so I have no idea what is happening.

Run stty </dev/ser? to make sure baud rate is set properly.
Have you disabled the hardware flow control? If not maybe the other side is
stopping transmission.
2458h isn’t standard (for PC) hence I sound strange that you are not
specifing IRQ as well?

I find that if I add a tcdrain() right after the write(),
the sending is smooth. I think this is to force to send all the content to
the port physically.
Can you explain this phenomenon?

No. I beleive there is some information missing in your description and am
unable to imagine what it is.
