I downloaded v6.92k version, and Win11 is OK.
Connected to STC-USB-TO-2 and cycled buttons and asked "make target MCU USB-2UART controller'
Message window cycles and reports as below, and 2 UARTS appear in Device manager.
Q: How do I know which HEX version was used for STC8H8K64U ? Nothing appears to show HEX version ? Where is the HEX file ?
I can see F/W version: 7.4.6U, but I suspect that is USB HID bootloader version number, not the UART HEX version ?
Q: which serial port has the best performance ? or are they both identical ?
I jumper S-TXD to S-RXD and start a terminal and connect a counter/timer.
UARTS work, echoes appear on terminal, and I can change BAUD rate to any of 22.1184M/4/N (Baud timing shows crystal error is about -60ppm)
So far. so good. I start stress testing.
115200 Baud drops streamed characters unless I drop the block size to 256 bytes. Even a modest 384 byte block sometimes fails. 10,000 always drops roughly 25 bytes.
Next, I look for what BAUD speed can sustain 10,000 sized block echoes
Results:
22.1184M/4/120 = 46080 9/ans = 195.31us measure 195.3u => 8.n.1 is no dropped chars 10 x 10k blocks << fastest OK speed
22.1184M/4/119 = 46467.22689 9/ans 193.684us measure 193.7 => Drops 4 chars in 10 x 10k blocks 40% fail
22.1184M/4/118 = 46861.01695 9/ans 192.057us measure 192.0us => 100% fail Magic threshold, drops chars every time
Compared with other USB-UARTS, that is a quite low echo-block failure speed.
Q: Is this 'working as expected' ?
Q: Is there better, faster code somewhere ?
Addit: Same test using WCH CH9102 (no handshake lines)
1Mbd sustains 499,573*2 100% with 10 x 100k blocks. < 0.1% BW loss
2Mbd sustains 999,062*2 100% with 10 x 100k blocks.
4Mbd sustains 1.8941M*2 100% with 10 x 100k blocks. -5.15% bandwidth
6Mbd sustains 2.7736M*2 100% with 10 x 100k blocks. -7.546% bandwidth
复制代码
Conclusion: WCH never drops bytes, but does have a slight bandwidth droop at 4MBd and 6MBd.
The STC8H core is faster than the WCH 8051 core, so STC should be in the same ballpark, instead it fails at much lower speeds ?
Just curious - the report says ".Testing time: 2022-11-1" is that the factory time of calibrate of VREF etc ?

Further to #136, I noticed this in another thread.
model: [STC USB-2UART ] , package TSSOP20; Support: any mainstream baud rate and new popular :
1Mbps/ 1.5Mbps/ 2Mbps/2.5Mbps/3Mbps/4Mbps /5Mbps, 6Mbps/7.5Mbps/8Mbps/9Mbps/10Mbps
The factory comes with a USB to dual serial port program , the complete silk screen name : STC USB-2UART-45I-TSSOP20
So I tested from the other end, with interesting results.
The software related slow-downs are significant, and they interact to mean the dropped bytes effect goes away at high BAUD rates., at least for loopback (?!)
It means between baud rates of 22.1184M/4/42 and 22.1184M/4/120, USB-2UART code fails by dropping character in loopback test.
The bandwidth erosion/overhead is large at high speeds, with many stop bits added as SW delays impact.
It only reaches 50% at around 1Mbd - contrast with WCH CH9102 which only drops -5.15% at 4MBd and -7.546% at 6MBd duplex, and is < 0.1% BW loss at 1Mbd
one strange detail, is 22.1184M/8 or /20 is invalid, whilst 22.1184M/4 /12 /16 /24 /28 etc are fine ?
