High-speed QSerialPort?
-
Has anyone attempted to use QSerialPort to talk to a high-speed serial port device. For example, FTDI makes USB-serial interface chips that can run at 1 megabaud. Does the internal buffering have the ability to suck in data that fast without choking?
What I'm running into on a Mac is the keyboard and mouse locking up hard requiring a force reboot if I set a breakpoint in the code or call usleep and this is with the most basic code to just read in some data. Full disclosure: I had to do what FTDI calls baud rate aliasing to repurpose the 300 baud setting for 1000000. This works fine with plain old non-Qt POSIX code.

I don't know about QSerialPort.
But when application stops on breakpoint or sleeps the Qt events are not processed and application may hung if something requires permanent attention and processing.

Never mind. There's a driver problem. I discovered that if I set a breakpoint in plain old non-Qt code, the Mac will eventually lock up. :-(
