Create Documentation/blockdev/ sub-directory and populate it. Populate the Documentation/serial/ sub-directory. Move MSI-HOWTO.txt to Documentation/PCI/. Move ioctl-number.txt to Documentation/ioctl/. Update all relevant 00-INDEX files. Update all relevant Kconfig files and source files.

These boards provide, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 -high-speed serial ports or modems. This driver supports up to a combination -of four RocketPort or RocketModems boards in one machine simultaneously. -This file assumes that you are using the RocketPort driver which is -integrated into the kernel sources. - -The driver can also be installed as an external module using the usual -"make;make install" routine. This external module driver, obtainable -from the Comtrol website listed below, is useful for updating the driver -or installing it into kernels which do not have the driver configured -into them. Installations instructions for the external module -are in the included README and HW_INSTALL files. - -RocketPort ISA and RocketModem II PCI boards currently are only supported by -this driver in module form. - -The RocketPort ISA board requires I/O ports to be configured by the DIP -switches on the board. See the section "ISA Rocketport Boards" below for -information on how to set the DIP switches. - -You pass the I/O port to the driver using the following module parameters: - -board1 : I/O port for the first ISA board -board2 : I/O port for the second ISA board -board3 : I/O port for the third ISA board -board4 : I/O port for the fourth ISA board - -There is a set of utilities and scripts provided with the external driver -( downloadable from http://www.comtrol.com ) that ease the configuration and -setup of the ISA cards. - -The RocketModem II PCI boards require firmware to be loaded into the card -before it will function. The driver has only been tested as a module for this -board. - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - -INSTALLATION PROCEDURES ------------------------ - -RocketPort/RocketModem PCI cards require no driver configuration, they are -automatically detected and configured. - -The RocketPort driver can be installed as a module (recommended) or built -into the kernel. This is selected, as for other drivers, through the `make config` -command from the root of the Linux source tree during the kernel build process. - -The RocketPort/RocketModem serial ports installed by this driver are assigned -device major number 46, and will be named /dev/ttyRx, where x is the port number -starting at zero (ex. /dev/ttyR0, /devttyR1, ...). If you have multiple cards -installed in the system, the mapping of port names to serial ports is displayed -in the system log at /var/log/messages. - -If installed as a module, the module must be loaded. This can be done -manually by entering "modprobe rocket". To have the module loaded automatically -upon system boot, edit the /etc/modprobe.conf file and add the line -"alias char-major-46 rocket". - -In order to use the ports, their device names (nodes) must be created with mknod. -This is only required once, the system will retain the names once created. To -create the RocketPort/RocketModem device names, use the command -"mknod /dev/ttyRx c 46 x" where x is the port number starting at zero. For example: - ->mknod /dev/ttyR0 c 46 0 ->mknod /dev/ttyR1 c 46 1 ->mknod /dev/ttyR2 c 46 2 - -The Linux script MAKEDEV will create the first 16 ttyRx device names (nodes) -for you: - ->/dev/MAKEDEV ttyR - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - -ISA Rocketport Boards ---------------------- - -You must assign and configure the I/O addresses used by the ISA Rocketport -card before installing and using it. This is done by setting a set of DIP -switches on the Rocketport board. - - -SETTING THE I/O ADDRESS ------------------------ - -Before installing RocketPort(R) or RocketPort RA boards, you must find -a range of I/O addresses for it to use. The first RocketPort card -requires a 68-byte contiguous block of I/O addresses, starting at one -of the following: 0x100h, 0x140h, 0x180h, 0x200h, 0x240h, 0x280h, -0x300h, 0x340h, 0x380h. This I/O address must be reflected in the DIP -switches of *all* of the Rocketport cards. - -The second, third, and fourth RocketPort cards require a 64-byte -contiguous block of I/O addresses, starting at one of the following -I/O addresses: 0x100h, 0x140h, 0x180h, 0x1C0h, 0x200h, 0x240h, 0x280h, -0x2C0h, 0x300h, 0x340h, 0x380h, 0x3C0h. The I/O address used by the -second, third, and fourth Rocketport cards (if present) are set via -software control. The DIP switch settings for the I/O address must be -set to the value of the first Rocketport cards. - -In order to distinguish each of the card from the others, each card -must have a unique board ID set on the dip switches. The first -Rocketport board must be set with the DIP switches corresponding to -the first board, the second board must be set with the DIP switches -corresponding to the second board, etc. IMPORTANT: The board ID is -the only place where the DIP switch settings should differ between the -various Rocketport boards in a system. - -The I/O address range used by any of the RocketPort cards must not -conflict with any other cards in the system, including other -RocketPort cards. Below, you will find a list of commonly used I/O -address ranges which may be in use by other devices in your system. -On a Linux system, "cat /proc/ioports" will also be helpful in -identifying what I/O addresses are being used by devices on your -system. - -Remember, the FIRST RocketPort uses 68 I/O addresses. So, if you set it -for 0x100, it will occupy 0x100 to 0x143. This would mean that you -CAN NOT set the second, third or fourth board for address 0x140 since -the first 4 bytes of that range are used by the first board. You would -need to set the second, third, or fourth board to one of the next available -blocks such as 0x180. - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - -RocketPort and RocketPort RA SW1 Settings: - - +-------------------------------+ - | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | - +-------+-------+---------------+ - | Unused| Card | I/O Port Block| - +-------------------------------+ - -DIP Switches DIP Switches -7 8 6 5 -=================== =================== -On On UNUSED, MUST BE ON.
