Problem: I'm using a serial programmer under Windows and get the following
error:
@code{avrdude: serial_open(): can't set attributes for device "com1"},
Solution: This problem seems to appear with certain versions of Cygwin. Specifying
@code{"/dev/com1"} instead of @code{"com1"} should help.

Problem: I'm using linux and my AVR910 programmer is really slow.
Solution (short): @code{setserial @var{port} low_latency}
Solution (long):
There are two problems here. First, the system may wait some time before it
passes data from the serial port to the program. Under Linux the following
command works around this (you may need root privileges for this).
@code{setserial @var{port} low_latency}
Secondly, the serial interface chip may delay the interrupt for some time.
This behaviour can be changed by setting the FIFO-threshold to one. Under Linux this
can only be done by changing the kernel source in @code{drivers/char/serial.c}.
Search the file for @code{UART_FCR_TRIGGER_8} and replace it with @code{UART_FCR_TRIGGER_1}. Note that overall performance might suffer if there
is high throughput on serial lines. Also note that you are modifying the kernel at
your own risk.

Problem: I'm not using linux and my AVR910 programmer is really slow.
Solutions: The reasons for this are the same as above.
If you know how to work around this on your OS, please let us know.
