So, if you have any other serial -ports provided by other boards (such as an AST Fourport), or if COM3-4 -have been a non-standard IRQ so that you can use time simultaneously -with COM1-2, you *must* use this program in order to configure those -serial ports. - -The simplest way to configure the serial ports is to copy the provided -rc.serial file to /etc/rc.serial, and then add to /etc/rc the lines: - -if [ -f /etc/rc.serial ]; then -sh /etc/rc.serial -fi - -Take a look at /etc/rc.serial; it was written to be relatively easy to -modify, and you may need to modify it so that it works best in your -environment. - - -------------------------------------------------------- - -Here is setserial's command line syntax: - -usage: ./setserial [-abgqvVW] serial-device [cmd1 [arg]] [cmd2] ... - -Available options: - -a Display all possible information about the port - -b Display boot-time level of information - -q Quiet flag - -v Verbose flag - - -g Get and display the serial information of all - serial ports on the machine - -V Display the current Version and then exit - - -W Do wild interrupt initialization and then exit - -Available commands: (* = Takes an argument) - (^ = can be preceded by a '^' to turn off the option) - * port set the I/O port - * irq set the interrupt - * uart set UART type (none, 8250, 16450, 16550, 16550A - * baud_base set base baud rate (CLOCK_FREQ / 16) - * divisor set the custom divisor (see spd_custom) - ^ fourport configure the port as an AST Fourport - autoconfigure automatically configure the serial port - ^ auto_irq try to determine irq during autoconfiguration - ^ skip_test skip UART test during autoconfiguration - - ^ sak set the break key as the Secure Attention Key - ^ session_lockout Lock out callout port across different sessions - ^ pgrp_lockout Lock out callout port across different process groups - ^ split_termios Use separate termios for callout and dailin lines - ^ hup_notify Notify a process blocked on opening a dialin line - when a process has finished using a callout - line by returning EAGAIN to the open. - ^ callout_nohup Don't hangup the tty if carrier detect drops on a - callout line. - - spd_hi use 56kb instead of 38.4kb - spd_vhi use 115kb instead of 38.4kb - spd_cust use the custom divisor to set the speed at 38.4kb - (baud rate = baud_base / custom_divisor) - spd_normal use 38.4kb when a buad rate of 38.4kb is selected - -Use a leading '0x' for hex numbers. -CAUTION: Using an invalid port can lock up your machine! |
