Arduino Due Firmware Flaw: Problem With Using The USB Programming Port At 230400 Baud And Beyond
One of the improvements that came with the Arduino IDE's updates was an increased baud rate for the Serial Monitor. Well, there are many time-sensitive applications that will benefit from the speed gain, specifically when using one of the fastest Arduinos around, the Arduino Due with its ARM Cortex M3 processor. However, when you set the Serial [...]
ARM Cortex Processors – UART Programming Problem At Baud Rates Higher Than 115200
To say it upfront, I cannot confirm with 100% certainty that all ARM Cortex microcontrollers are affected by the UART programming problem as described in the following, but there are indications that make my assumption very probable. The outcome depends primarily on thorough testing of serial communication applications, but there is evidence to the contrary [...]
