[Bala]: During the BT on & of, we need to send the commands to the
controller
at a specific baudrate. as the data is getting queued in the buffer we
see some times
the data is transmitting on the newer baudrate instead of the actual
baudrate.
we want to achieve an synchronous data transfer for some commands to
over come byte corruptions.

[Bala]: Thanks for the info, now i understood the usage of the both
write() and write_buf().

Thanks Johan for the detailed info.
