- #/etc/default/async
-
- #This file contains commented-out entries for all multi-port async cards
- #that have been tested at MWC, along with an explanation of how each
- #board was set up, and where to get in touch with the manufacturer.
- #Setups shown below are examples of actual working configurations on one
- #system; for most boards, there are many possible valid configurations.
-
- #There are many differences among the boards. Things to consider in
- #selecting a serial board:
- #- Is the board available with 16550A-compatible (FIFO) UART parts?
- #- Are all common RS-232 circuits available for each port? This
- # includes TD/RD/DTR/DSR/RTS/CTS/CD/RI.
- #- Is there a group status register so that individual parts do not have
- # to be polled when the board issues an interrupt?
- #- Is there provision in hardware for dealing with limitations of the
- # edge-triggered interrupt system on the AT bus? SEALEVEL, GTEK, and
- # Comtrol offer this.
- #- Can boards be chained on the same interrupt line?
- #- What sort of cables and connectors are provided with the board?
- #- Are UART parts socketed?
- #- Is documentation intelligible and complete?
- #- Is technical support helpful, and readily available?
-
- #The "asy" driver shipped with COHERENT 4.0 allows you to mix several
- #different board types on the same system, as long as each port has its
- #own channel number and the total number of channels is no more than 32.
- #Each board should be configured to occupy a unique interrupt number,
- #unless you are chaining boards specifically designed to allow sharing of
- #an interrupt line.
-
- #The file begins with uncommented entries for the usual com1-com4,
- #occupying channels 0-3. Unless noted otherwise, all sample multiport
- #configurations are shown in addition to these ports, with additional
- #channels starting at number 4.
