Joel, A problem with the approach you outlined is as Sebastian said, you still end up overestimating if for example the application does not use the DMA-based console but uses a different console within the same bsp. -Gedare On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 1:08 PM, Joel Sherrill wrote: > > On 8/14/2014

Console driver that needs extra TIMER

2014-08-14 Thread Kolja Waschk
Hi, I'm developing a DMA-based UART driver for Blackfin. It requires an extra timer to trigger data processing after a transmission ended. This increases the amount of timers required by every application that uses it for the console. E.g. most of the tests won't even start without modificat
