how to speed up download process?

does anybody know how I could speed up the download to targetsystem using uVision2?

The highest baud rate is 57600. Higher baudrates are impossible because I am using 4MHz on target system.

I would buy hardware to add into the pc if I could find anything. But I haven't found anything until now.

Thank you for your help

  • Using special frequency for CPU clock should allow a C166 family microcontroller's UART support higher baud rates. For instance, if you used 3.6864 MHz instead of 4 MHz you would be able to work at 115.2 kbps.

  • Are you sure you're sending data at the maximum throughput; do you have a fast serial card, with deep FIFOs enabled, etc?

    A previous client had a fixed download "speed" of 57k6; they used old 486s with Win3.1 and it took ~20 minutes.
    One day I tried my 433MHz Win98 Celeron laptop - the baud rate had to stay the same, but the download time reduced to ~12 minutes!
