Hello,

I think the uCsimm has a big problem with his UART. I need to use it to
communicate with a bluetoot module. So I commented out the use of
"ttyS0:vt100:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0" in inittab file, and I removed the
registering of the function that send printk on the serial port. With these
changes, nothing more ccomes on the serial port, and I communicate through
ethernet with the uCsimm.

I use a simple test program to send data through the serial port. I put
options : for serial port as inidicated at the end of this e-mail.

I use kermit on a PC on the other side to see incoming characters

Results at different speeds :

9600 : success : characters are well recieved
19200 : success : characters are well recieved
57600 : bug : I recieve neither the good characters, nor the good number of
characters.
115200 : bug : I recieve "Xbcdef" instead of "abcdef". So first characters are
not correct.

In my case, I asbolutely need a 57600 and a 115200 connection speed that
works...

Where is the bug ? in the UART driver ?

Thank you for any help.
