8 * Added workarounds for FTDI USB-serial adapters that feed previously
9 accumulated serial Rx bytes or outright garbage to newly started serial I/O
10 programs:
11
12 + fcup-atinterf back-end program for fcup-* does a sleep of 20 ms followed by
13 tcflush(target_fd, TCIFLUSH) on startup to flush any previously accumulated
14 serial Rx buffer garbage that would otherwise cause breakage. The two
15 delays in the deep sleep wakeup logic (see doc/Deep-sleep-support) have been
16 reduced from 50 to 30 ms each, thus the total length of initial delays has
17 been reduced from 100 to 80 ms.
18
19 + In the rvinterf suite (see doc/Rvinterf-tools) a similar startup delay has
20 been added in the special corner case of a non-interactive one-shot
21 operation being commanded with rvinterf also being launched from the client
22 program with -p; see the "Startup synchronization hack" section in the new
23 Rvinterf-tools document.

45 * For those who build the rarely needed ARM7 gcc toolchain from source, an old
