Thanks Richard and Gavin.

You right,  I'll limit the one thread write inside of class, never
calling the write outside of class. the single thread wasted too much
resources where it is running an intensive MOSI and MISO UART process.

I think it is a design issue, if I can design different threads to run
different IO spaces, a simple boost::thread should do the job nicely.

Thank you very much.
