#132114 - realterm and 2 stop bits
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I initially wanted a terminal to help stress test my serial fifo routines. I wanted something to dump a large file to my serial port and have my 8051 firmware echo the file back. The goal was to simulate streaming data at 115.2 kbps. I found that when I typed everything worked no problem. When I held a key down everything worked no problem. If I sent burts of ascii using the "send ascii" feature of RealTerm, I would randomly run into issues where my fifo routines would (without explanation) fail. I looked with a scope at the TX line (from the PC perspective) to see what realterm was sending. Turns out that an extra stop bit (on the realterm side) solved all of my problems. My routines were good all along, but RealTerm wasn't doing exactly what it should do when it came to send ascii and send file commands. Just a headsup to anyone else using these features of realterm.
