15:37.21KMusidiot question time but is embedded linux, simply a custom build of linux with only the requires features / device drivers installed for a application and hardware board?

17:06.28brainbox1100Hi. So we're running Debian Lenny to test an small app on an ARM9 250Mhz. Works well enough but it takes about 700ms to read 1K from the RS-232 and process it. On a Linux VM it takes 400ms. How do I track down the bottleneck?
17:06.50brainbox1100CPU usage is not too high. Plenty of RAM.
17:12.14gustavozwhat's the baud rate?
17:15.46brainbox1100gustavoz: 115200.
17:19.09gustavozthe uart on your chip might be less than optimal, or the driver not very good at it
17:19.37gustavozif you do some raw file transfer on the real hardware how high can you get? say with ymodem or zmodem
17:28.55brainbox1100gustavoz: I can do that. It would help eliminate the RS232 as the problem.
17:29.41gustavozbrainbox1100: some arm chips have uarts that lack any useful fifo
17:30.33gustavozbrainbox1100: and some drivers lack dma capability, add those two up and you get a nice problem sustaining data rates and doing useful stuff
17:39.28mnemocfinally! nptl support got merged into uclibc's master
17:39.36mnemoc\o/
17:48.50wmatmnemoc: hasn't that been progressing all month?
17:51.25mnemocwmat: preparations... but the actual merge was like 20m ago
17:51.32wmatah
17:51.34mnemocnow it's *done* :)
17:51.43wmatdoes it work? ;)
17:51.56cmwcan anyone explain to me what gauging is.. in relation to a clock
17:52.16mnemocwmat: hey! don't ruin the dream
17:53.16wmatheh
17:53.17mnemoci'll give it until monday before testing, so landley has time to report regressions ;-)
17:55.25wmatcmw: what's the context?
17:56.13mnemoccycles to real ns
17:58.30*** join/#elinux toi (~toi@d54C2AA76.access.telenet.be)
18:01.30cmwwmat: i'm adding locosto support to qemu and the it has some sort of guaging timer
18:01.41cmwseems omap ver 1 has something similar
18:02.12wmatit's just a measurement tool. Measures performance of something in clock ticks
18:04.39wmatat least that's my guess
18:09.28cmwyeah pain in the ass to debug without docs
