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