[ts-7000] Flushing an RX buffer.

["Jon L" <>]

Ok, I finally got an RS232 uart to work properly on the TS-7500 (the fpga 
program needed to be upgraded to revision x03) 

but whats interesting is the RX buffer of the uart fills so long as data is 
coming in and queues up.  

So what is the best way to dump this data for the freshest?   For example say I 
have a GPS hooked up to a uart, and its constantly spewing  data which I don't 
care about.  Now say all of a sudden I want the next gps data;  I don't want 
wade through the entire /dev/gpsuart file to get to the last data; I want to be 
able to reset /dev/gpsuart, and have it fill fresh when I want it.  

Any ideas?  



Also what happens if I ignore the Gps data for a loooong time, what is the 
buffer limit on the /dev/gpsuart as set up by 

xuartctl ???
