I have a similar problem with this PDA. It's not PPC2003 but the rz1715
causing the trouble.
In my application bytes have to come in in groups of at least 4 bytes. Fewer
bytes or too much pauses between them result in discarding. This is probably
not a baudrate related issue since I tried at different baudrates all with
same results. I think it has something to do with a bug in the serial driver.
The UART FIFO of the Samsung S3C2410 can be configured to generate an
interrupt when there's 4 bytes in it so there could be a connection to this
problem.
