How is it going,
I have been reading data from the ppdev user-spaced driver in EPP
mode (kernel 2.3.28) for the past few weeks with less than stellar
results. I have been able to achieve relatively high, greater than
300Kbytes/sec, transfer rates for around 15 minutes. However, I have
found that any kind of user or computer intervention will slow the data
rate to an unacceptable level between 20-50Kbytes/sec for a randomly
short period then it returns to 300Kbytes/sec . I believe that some
type of interrupt service routine is required to prevent the slow down,
however my hardware cannot support an interrupt latency greater than
22ms.
I would like to know whether or not if there is a way to use the
ppdev in EPP mode utilizing interrupts or is it only in ECP mode.
If it is in only in ECP mode, I would like to know where I could
find an example of an interrupt service routine with the ppdev
user-spaced driver.
Thanks for any
assistance,
Chris
