Subject: pasynOctetSyncIO flushing with drvAsynIPPortConfigure

Hi,

I'm using drvAsynIPPortConfigure() to connect to a network attached device, with a small PIC based MCU handling the TCP/IP. It is XT Pico SXL described here if anyone is interested: http://www.ak-nord.de/en/daten/manual_xxl_ts.pdf.

For my application the XT Pico SXL takes data over network and translates it to SPI messages to talk to SPI peripheral.

I can make it work if the delay between consecutive requests (either pasynOctetSyncIO->writeReadOnce() or pasynOctetSyncIO->writeRead()) is 1 second; I can tell that the SPI peripheral was programmed properly. As soon as the delay is lowered (i.e. 0.3 s) the SPI peripheral does not interpret the data correctly. I have ~ 40 registers on the SPI peripheral to write and do not like to wait > 40 s for this to complete. FYI, using USB programmer from vendor, I can program the SPI peripheral in matters of miliseconds.

I've started looking at the wireshark dumps of what is on the wire and noticed that TCP seems to be "optimizing" when I would like it not to optimize.

Successful SPI peripheral programming, at 1 second delay, as seen on the wire is found in ok.txt attachment. On the other hand, failed programming looks something like in bad.txt attachment (delay between requests was set to 0.3 second).

Finally, the question: Can I force the TCP from asyn somehow not to "optimize", and send/receive 3 bytes at a time even if the delay between my requests is 0.3 (or less)? 

Thank you in advance!
