GDB doesn't support anything higher than 9600 baud (19k2 > if you are lucky), but the console does. Previous version reviewed by: bde I seem to have missed the main point of this change. I always use gdb at 115200 bps on i386's (since I don't have anything faster), but haven't used it recently. Not working at a low speed like 115200 is a bug somewhere. The buffering by the low level console driver (none) is not very suitable for input faster than a human can type, and gdb certainly sends input faster than tha in bursts when it sends a packet, but problems seem to be limited by the protocol being very simple.
