Thus we are rudely reminded once more than the Pirelli target is a dead end. +One currently outstanding defect with this fc-lcdpoll mechanism is that rvinterf +currently prints all ETM packets as full hex dumps, and the flood of all that +hex in the rvinterf window makes that window unusable for its original intended +purpose of seeing other debug output from the fw. This voluminous rvinterf +output also slows down the rate at which the LCD framebuffer is polled. One +can run rvinterf with the -n option to suppress its output, but then all other +debug trace output will be lost too. I plan on fixing rvinterf at some point +in the future to make its output less voluminous by default: keep the human- +readable traces, but omit the rarely-useful hex dumps from the default output. + Baud rate considerations ========================
