Enhanced Features
The range of baud rates has been extended to 460800 bits/sec. The on-chip hardware and
software flow control capabilities of the 16C654 UART are utilised to reduce host load.
Known Limitations
1. The driver cannot be installed as a module on multi-processor systems. It can only be
installed as a statically-linked driver. On single-processor systems it can be installed
statically linked or as a module.
2. Data can be lost if multiple ports are run simultaneously at 230400 or 460800 bits/sec.
