QT transmitting large data over Serial Port

I am trying to send a large amount of data via a QSerialPort (which actually goes over a RS232 connection). At present, I can get ~300 bytes of 80000 bytes. Using Putty, I can see all the data being transmitted, so the problem is with the receiving code, I believe.



Receiver code:



m_serial->waitForReadyRead(1000);
m_serial->waitForBytesWritten(20);
const QByteArray data = m_serial->readAll();


Transmitter code:



QByteArray sendData;
sendData.setRawData((char *)dataBuf, m->bufSize + sizeof(*mHeader) + 1);
m_serial->write(sendData);


I get valid data if I send any amount of data (at least the data I get).



Is the only solution to break up the data into separate transmits?



EDIT: I should mention that I am using an async implementation (the one from QTs examples - the async terminal program. It only sends and recieves small amounts of data, though)



The program connects to the readData() function using:



connect(m_serial, &QSerialPort::readyRead, this, &MainWindow::readData);

  • If you are using the asynchronous example, you should NOT be using waitForXYZ methods, using them together with signals/slots leads to undefined behaviour. Other than that your example does not give enough information / working code to reproduce.
