Hello,
While using Linux on low-end (semi-embedded) hardware (386 SX 40Mhz, 8Mb
RAM), I discovered that Linux on that machine would suffer from serial
port buffer overruns quite easily if I use a baudrate high enough (I start
loosing bytes at >19200 bauds and I would like to make it reliable up to
115 kbauds). I check if overruns are happening with
/proc/tty/driver/serial ("oe" field).
What kind of serial port are you using? If it's an unbuffered 8250-type
port, it will NEVER be reliable at higher baud rates. You want a 16550
(or better) port.
