I ask that as my understanding of the most common UART indicates that the DCD signal line is not managed with the baud rate clock. At least for the most common 16550x variety, the DCD level changes are signaled in the MSR and then if interrupts are enabled an interrupt is queued. However t there is an anti-metastability filter of 2 CLK cycles before pin level changes are reflected in the MSR. So.. if your UART is on a slow clock, it could be that a 10us transition will be too fast to pass the filter. However, I do agree that trying is the easiest test. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
