Hallo there,

I've built a dinky little thing, with a BFP48 packaged TL16C550CPTG4
datasheet http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/61904.pdf

It sends chars fine, as the WL500g responds to commands I type, the echoed chars are however corrupted. I'm putting this down to the fact i'm running it from the 13.5MHz source i tapped from the parallel port Interfaces XTAL and the receiving end is not as tolerant as the the WL500G.

I cant for the life of me find a 13MHz XTAL at a reasonable price and want to use a standard readily available device.

This raises the question, can I alter the baud factor used by the IC from 7 to 4 and use a 7.3728MHz Device? I read that the value is set by the boot loader. Are the sources available for this so that i can rebuild and reflash it (JTAG??) or can i do this from the kernel files mentioned ? (would seem likely to me).

Any comments?

Thanks

Dan
