Hi,
I've seen a lot of systematic character swaps on the serial port,
especially in the vincinity of 0-bytes. As the XON/XOFF registers
are the only thing in the UART that look like they would consider
the actual data sent, I've added this initialisation to uart.c
This makes the problem go away completely on my C123.
To check for it I've added CRCs to the HDLC protocol and checked
for bad frames, and also compared them in a (patched) osmocon
that just sends random garbate in a special DLCI. The bad
frames I observed always looked like this (number in
parenthesis define number of omitted bytes, for brevity):
<------ good bytes ----------> <-recvd|sent-> <----- identical again
------>
d0 e0 00 00..(107)..f7 ce 17 c4 < 0c 00|00 0c > db 70 ba cb..(67)..d8 6d 3a 1f
31 e1 00 00..(47)..38 ca 2f e5 < 0c 00|00 0c > f8 a3 77 5f..(127)..5b 72 ff 4a
<-- good -> <--- bad -----> <---- good again ------------->
dc e1 00 00 < 0c 00|00 0c > 87 cb 24 83..(178)..2f 69 b3 51
ae e2 00 00..(167)..bd 18 6f a1 < 0c 00|00 0c > 2f 53 d2 b2..(7)..da c7 1b 63
dc e3 00 00..(131)..8e 2c b0 a8 < 0c 00|00 0c > 40 62 56 5f..(43)..f0 3a 47 f7
Formerly I was observing about 10 packets for every 2000 sent (with 192
bytes of payload each). Now, with the added initialisation, I see
(as the time of writing this email) 12000 packets with 192 bytes each
sent, with 0 bytes missing, corrupted, flipped).
Please have a look and tell me if it's helping for you. I'll send the
HDLC/CRC patch in another email.
Chris
