How to increase download speed for UART

[Adeel Malik <AdeelM@avaznet.com>]

Hi All,

         I am porting Linux to a MIPS based development platform. The UART on the board provides a maximum baud rate of 115 kbps. But the download time for the kernel Image of about 4.3 MB is about 4 hours !!!!!.

 

Can someone help me address this problem ?.

 

(I can't download the kernel image via tftp server using ethernet, as the CPU doesn't have the MAC interface).

 

Regards,
