cytune 命令

常用示例

说明

cytune is a utility for tuning the interrupt threshold and flush timeout parameters for Cyclades-Z multiport serial card drivers. These parameters affect how the driver buffers data before triggering an interrupt, balancing latency against CPU overhead. Each serial line on a Cyclades card has a 12-byte FIFO for input and output. The threshold specifies how many characters must be present in the FIFO before an interrupt is raised. Higher values reduce interrupt overhead but increase latency. If set too high, the FIFO can overflow and characters will be lost. The flush timeout ensures data is delivered even when the threshold is not reached. Default thresholds are set based on baud rate when the tty is opened: 10 for 50-4800 baud, 8 for 9600, 4 for 19200, 2 for 38400, 1 for 57600+.

参数

-s _VALUE_

Set the current threshold to VALUE characters (1-12). Resets on next open if the tty is not held open.

-S _VALUE_

Set the default threshold to VALUE characters (1-12). Applied when the tty is next opened.

-t _VALUE_

Set the current flush timeout to VALUE units (0-255). Each unit is 5ms. Zero forces the default timeout.

-T _VALUE_

Set the default flush timeout to VALUE units. Applied when the tty is next opened.

-g

Get current threshold and timeout values.

-G

Get default threshold and flush timeout values.

-q

Gather and report driver statistics (interrupts and characters transferred). Only available if the driver was compiled with ENABLE_MONITORING.

-i _interval_

Statistics gathering interval in seconds (used with -q).
