  • What is the limit to a computer's serial COM port?
    1 project | /r/embedded | 23 Feb 2023
    Ultimately, I plan on using a serial library to talk to the port myself because I need to intercept what is typed into the terminal and build a packet out of it, but even then I don't know if the bottleneck will still be present and if the serial library even supports up to those speeds. I am familiar with wjwwood serial but can't find any information in its limits. I see a few commits for 500 kbps support but I don't know if that's its limit.

    I’m not sure what you want. Everything exists in posix and win32. Maybe you want something like that? https://github.com/wjwwood/serial
