Serial Port Bit Banging and Polling
« on: January 17, 2015, 08:38:01 am »
  I have designed a circuit to interface serial port to 8 bit shift register.
  Circuit uses TXD line to produce square wave burst with 10 transitions by transmiting  X'55.
  I have loop back from TXD to CTS line.Idea is to insert data bit after every transition on RTS line.
  I want to poll CTS for Line transition.My question is which Development Software to use which will give me
  fastest polling. So I can figure out what maximum baudrate would be?.Main Idea of circuit is to make it
  Baudrate independent. Any help would be apericiated.

  Thanks,

For development on the PC side, or for your embedded controller?

I found out (the hard way) that Microsoft only reads bytes in the serial port as 7 bit ASCII last night. Bah.
