15 | Misc. notes for RISCom/8 serial driver, in no particular order :) | ||
16 | |||
17 | 1) This driver can support up to 4 boards at time. | ||
18 | Use string "riscom8=0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX" at LILO prompt, for | ||
19 | setting I/O base addresses for boards. If you compile driver | ||
20 | as module use modprobe options "iobase=0xXXX iobase1=0xXXX iobase2=..." | ||
21 | |||
22 | 2) The driver partially supports famous 'setserial' program, you can use almost | ||
23 | any of its options, excluding port & irq settings. | ||
24 | |||
25 | 3) There are some misc. defines at the beginning of riscom8.c, please read the | ||
26 | comments and try to change some of them in case of problems. | ||
27 | |||
28 | 4) I consider the current state of the driver as BETA. | ||
29 | |||
30 | 5) SDL Communications WWW page is http://www.sdlcomm.com. | ||
31 | |||
32 | 6) You can use the MAKEDEV program to create RISCom/8 /dev/ttyL* entries. | ||
33 | |||
34 | 7) Minor numbers for first board are 0-7, for second 8-15, etc. | ||
