Thanks again for analyzing the problem. I was pondering to apply your
patch, but think a different approach might be better: Use the USART
DMA mode. Thiss way we don't get one interrupt per character, but one
interrupt every 'dma buffer size' characters. Using double buffering we
should be able to always process one particular dma buffer, while the
other buffer is being filled by the hardware without interrupts.
Processing of the DMA buffer could happen either in an interrupt handler
of the PDC (dma controller) or even in the main loop.
Unfortunately the SAM7S USB controller does not support DMA, so it is
impossible to improve on that side.
I will give this some more thought. If I'm unable to implement this
within short time, I might merge your patch anyway as a interim fix.
Regards,
Harald
