|
|
For standard ports:
|
|
.Cd "device sio0 at isa? port" \&"IO_COM1\&" tty irq 4 vector siointr
|
|
.Cd "device sio1 at isa? port" \&"IO_COM2\&" tty irq 3 vector siointr
|
|
.Cd "device sio2 at isa? port" \&"IO_COM3\&" tty irq 5 vector siointr
|
|
.Cd "device sio3 at isa? port" \&"IO_COM4\&" tty irq 9 vector siointr
|
|
.sp
|
|
For multiport cards:
|
|
.Cd "options" \&"COM_MULTIPORT\&"
|
|
.Cd "device sio4 at isa? port 0x2a0 tty irq 12 vector siointr flags 0x401"
|
|
.Cd "device sio5 at isa? port 0x2a8 tty vector siointr flags 0x401"
|
|
.Cd "device sio6 at isa? port 0x2b0 tty vector siointr flags 0x401"
|
|
.Cd "device sio7 at isa? port 0x2b8 tty vector siointr flags 0x401"
|
|
.sp
|
|
For bidirectional use of ports:
|
|
.Cd "options" \&"COM_BIDIR\&"
|
|
.sp
|
|
For control FIFO trigger:
|
|
.Cd "options" \&"FIFO_TRIGGER=FIFO_TRIGGER_14\&"
|
|
.sp
|
|
Use 0x02 bit in flags field to disable FIFO on specified port.
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm sio
|
|
driver provides support for NS8250-, NS16450-, NS16550 and NS16550A-based
|
|
.Tn EIA
|
|
.Tn RS-232C
|
|
.Pf ( Tn CCITT
|
|
.Tn V.24 )
|
|
communications interfaces. The NS8250 and NS16450 have single character
|
|
buffers, the NS16550A has a 16 character FIFO buffer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Input and output for each line may set to one of following baud rates;
|
|
50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600,
|
|
19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. Your hardware may limit your baud
|
|
rate choices.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For multiport cards the
|
|
.Nm flags
|
|
keyword in the kernel configuration file determines which port of
|
|
your multiport card is the master device, and whether the
|
|
port is part of a multiport card. The master device is the port with
|
|
the shared interrupt register.
|
|
All ports of a multiport card report
|
|
pending interrupts using this single register.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the synopsis the
|
|
.Nm flags 0x401
|
|
means that the 4th port (sio4) is the master
|
|
device (so the MSB of the flags), and that the ports are part of a
|
|
multiport card (the LSB of the flags, actually only the LS
|
|
.Nm bit
|
|
).
|
|
F.e. if you have only two standard ports in addition to multiport
|
|
card, this
|
|
.Nm flags
|
|
will be
|
|
.Nm 0x201 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Which port is the master device depends on the card type. Consult
|
|
the hardware documentation of your card.
|
|
If you are shure, that your master device fully compatible with
|
|
standard port, you can ommit
|
|
.Nm flags
|
|
field from master device description line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Serial ports controlled by the
|
|
.Nm sio
|
|
driver can be used for both dialin and dialout. Use
|
|
.Xr comcontrol 8
|
|
to enable/disable bidirectional use of the
|
|
.Nm sio
|
|
ports. The minor number of the dialout
|
|
port is 128 higher than that of the corresponding dialin port. Use
|
|
.Xr stty 1
|
|
to enable or disable modem control as required by your setup.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver is derived from the
|
|
.Nm HP9000/300
|
|
.Nm dca
|
|
driver and is
|
|
.Ud
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Data loss is not near as likely on busy systems
|
|
but they still can occur at very high baud rates on slow systems. The
|
|
use of NS16550A's helps lot to handle high baud rates.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The constants which define the locations
|
|
of the various serial ports are holdovers from
|
|
.Nm DOS .
|
|
As shown, hex addresses can be used instead.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As usual, you get what you pay for; cheap NS16550 clones generally don't work.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The multiport example has been successfully tested with an AST/4 card, your
|
|
mileage may vary however.
