Release Notes For Linux Kernel 2.2 and higher.
|
|
These notes are for the drivers which have already been integrated into the
|
|
kernel and have been tested on Linux kernels 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.
|
|
|

|
|
This file assumes that you are using the Computone drivers which are
|
|
integrated into the kernel sources. For updating the drivers or installing
|
|
drivers into kernels which do not already have Computone drivers, please
|
|
refer to the instructions in the README.computone file in the driver patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
This driver supports the entire family of Intelliport II/Plus controllers
|
|
with the exception of the MicroChannel controllers. It does not support
|
|
products previous to the Intelliport II.
|
|
|
|
This driver was developed on the v2.0.x Linux tree and has been tested up
|
|
to v2.4.14; it will probably not work with earlier v1.X kernels,.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. QUICK INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
Hardware - If you have an ISA card, find a free interrupt and io port.
|
|
List those in use with `cat /proc/interrupts` and
|
|
`cat /proc/ioports`. Set the card dip switches to a free
|
|
address. You may need to configure your BIOS to reserve an
|
|
irq for an ISA card. PCI and EISA parameters are set
|
|
automagically. Insert card into computer with the power off
|
|
before or after drivers installation.
|
|
|
|
Note the hardware address from the Computone ISA cards installed into
|
|
the system. These are required for editing ip2.c or editing
|
|
/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf, or for specification on the modprobe
|
|
command line.
|
|
|
|
Note that the /etc/modules.conf should be used for older (pre-2.6)
|
|
kernels.
|
|
|
|
Software -
|
|
|
|
Module installation:
|
|
|
|
a) Determine free irq/address to use if any (configure BIOS if need be)
|
|
b) Run "make config" or "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"
|
|
Select (m) module for CONFIG_COMPUTONE under character
|
|
devices. CONFIG_PCI and CONFIG_MODULES also may need to be set.
|
|
c) Set address on ISA cards then:
|
|
edit /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/ip2.c if needed
|
|
or
|
|
edit config file in /etc/modprobe.d/ if needed (module).
|
|
or both to match this setting.
|
|
d) Run "make modules"
|
|
e) Run "make modules_install"
|
|
f) Run "/sbin/depmod -a"
|
|
g) install driver using `modprobe ip2 <options>` (options listed below)
|
|
h) run ip2mkdev (either the script below or the binary version)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kernel installation:
|
|
|
|
a) Determine free irq/address to use if any (configure BIOS if need be)
|
|
b) Run "make config" or "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"
|
|
Select (y) kernel for CONFIG_COMPUTONE under character
|
|
devices. CONFIG_PCI may need to be set if you have PCI bus.
|
|
c) Set address on ISA cards then:
|
|
edit /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/ip2.c
|
|
(Optional - may be specified on kernel command line now)
|
|
d) Run "make zImage" or whatever target you prefer.
|
|
e) mv /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/zImage to /boot.
|
|
f) Add new config for this kernel into /etc/lilo.conf, run "lilo"
|
|
or copy to a floppy disk and boot from that floppy disk.
|
|
g) Reboot using this kernel
|
|
h) run ip2mkdev (either the script below or the binary version)
|
|
|
|
Kernel command line options:
|
|
|
|
When compiling the driver into the kernel, io and irq may be
|
|
compiled into the driver by editing ip2.c and setting the values for
|
|
io and irq in the appropriate array. An alternative is to specify
|
|
a command line parameter to the kernel at boot up.
|
|
|
|
ip2=io0,irq0,io1,irq1,io2,irq2,io3,irq3
|
|
|
|
Note that this order is very different from the specifications for the
|
|
modload parameters which have separate IRQ and IO specifiers.
|
|
|
|
The io port also selects PCI (1) and EISA (2) boards.
|
|
|
|
io=0 No board
|
|
io=1 PCI board
|
|
io=2 EISA board
|
|
else ISA board io address
|
|
|
|
You only need to specify the boards which are present.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
2 PCI boards:
|
|
|
|
ip2=1,0,1,0
|
|
|
|
1 ISA board at 0x310 irq 5:
|
|
|
|
ip2=0x310,5
|
|
|
|
This can be added to and "append" option in lilo.conf similar to this:
|
|
|
|
append="ip2=1,0,1,0"
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
Previously, the driver sources were packaged with a set of patch files
|
|
to update the character drivers' makefile and configuration file, and other
|
|
kernel source files. A build script (ip2build) was included which applies
|
|
the patches if needed, and build any utilities needed.
|
|
What you receive may be a single patch file in conventional kernel
|
|
patch format build script. That form can also be applied by
|
|
running patch -p1 < ThePatchFile. Otherwise run ip2build.
|
|
|
|
The 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. If the driver is built
|
|
into the kernel you will need to edit the file ip2.c to match the boards
|
|
you are installing. See that file for instructions. If the driver is
|
|
installed as a module the configuration can also be specified on the
|
|
modprobe command line as follows:
|
|
|
|
modprobe ip2 irq=irq1,irq2,irq3,irq4 io=addr1,addr2,addr3,addr4
|
|
|
|
where irqnum is one of the valid Intelliport II interrupts (3,4,5,7,10,11,
|
|
12,15) and addr1-4 are the base addresses for up to four controllers. If
|
|
the irqs are not specified the driver uses the default in ip2.c (which
|
|
selects polled mode). If no base addresses are specified the defaults in
|
|
ip2.c are used. If you are autoloading the driver module with kerneld or
|
|
kmod the base addresses and interrupt number must also be set in ip2.c
|
|
and recompile or just insert and options line in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf or both.
|
|
The options line is equivalent to the command line and takes precedence over
|
|
what is in ip2.c.
|
|
|
|
config sample to put /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf:
|
|
options ip2 io=1,0x328 irq=1,10
|
|
alias char-major-71 ip2
|
|
alias char-major-72 ip2
|
|
alias char-major-73 ip2
|
|
|
|
The equivalent in ip2.c:
|
|
|
|
static int io[IP2_MAX_BOARDS]= { 1, 0x328, 0, 0 };
|
|
static int irq[IP2_MAX_BOARDS] = { 1, 10, -1, -1 };
|
|
|
|
The equivalent for the kernel command line (in lilo.conf):
|
|
|
|
append="ip2=1,1,0x328,10"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: Both io and irq should be updated to reflect YOUR system. An "io"
|
|
address of 1 or 2 indicates a PCI or EISA card in the board table.
|
|
The PCI or EISA irq will be assigned automatically.
|
|
|
|
Specifying an invalid or in-use irq will default the driver into
|
|
running in polled mode for that card. If all irq entries are 0 then
|
|
all cards will operate in polled mode.
|
|
|
|
If you select the driver as part of the kernel run :
|
|
|
|
make zlilo (or whatever you do to create a bootable kernel)
|
|
|
|
If you selected a module run :
|
|
|
|
make modules && make modules_install
|
|
|
|
The utility ip2mkdev (see 5 and 7 below) creates all the device nodes
|
|
required by the driver. For a device to be created it must be configured
|
|
in the driver and the board must be installed. Only devices corresponding
|
|
to real IntelliPort II ports are created. With multiple boards and expansion
|
|
boxes this will leave gaps in the sequence of device names. ip2mkdev uses
|
|
Linux tty naming conventions: ttyF0 - ttyF255 for normal devices, and
|
|
cuf0 - cuf255 for callout devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. USING THE DRIVERS
|
|
|
|
As noted above, the driver implements the ports in accordance with Linux
|
|
conventions, and the devices should be interchangeable with the standard
|
|
serial devices. (This is a key point for problem reporting: please make
|
|
sure that what you are trying do works on the ttySx/cuax ports first; then
|
|
tell us what went wrong with the ip2 ports!)
|
|
|
|
Higher speeds can be obtained using the setserial utility which remaps
|
|
38,400 bps (extb) to 57,600 bps, 115,200 bps, or a custom speed.
|
|
Intelliport II installations using the PowerPort expansion module can
|
|
use the custom speed setting to select the highest speeds: 153,600 bps,
|
|
230,400 bps, 307,200 bps, 460,800bps and 921,600 bps. The base for
|
|
custom baud rate configuration is fixed at 921,600 for cards/expansion
|
|
modules with ST654's and 115200 for those with Cirrus CD1400's. This
|
|
corresponds to the maximum bit rates those chips are capable.
|
|
For example if the baud base is 921600 and the baud divisor is 18 then
|
|
the custom rate is 921600/18 = 51200 bps. See the setserial man page for
|
|
complete details. Of course if stty accepts the higher rates now you can
|
|
use that as well as the standard ioctls().
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. ip2mkdev and assorted utilities...
|
|
|
|
Several utilities, including the source for a binary ip2mkdev utility are
|
|
available under .../drivers/char/ip2. These can be build by changing to
|
|
that directory and typing "make" after the kernel has be built. If you do
|
|
not wish to compile the binary utilities, the shell script below can be
|
|
cut out and run as "ip2mkdev" to create the necessary device files. To
|
|
use the ip2mkdev script, you must have procfs enabled and the proc file
|
|
system mounted on /proc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. NOTES
|
|
|
|
This is a release version of the driver, but it is impossible to test it
|
|
in all configurations of Linux. If there is any anomalous behaviour that
|
|
does not match the standard serial port's behaviour please let us know.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. ip2mkdev shell script
|
|
|
|
Previously, this script was simply attached here. It is now attached as a
|
|
shar archive to make it easier to extract the script from the documentation.
|
|
To create the ip2mkdev shell script change to a convenient directory (/tmp
|
|
works just fine) and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
unshar Documentation/serial/computone.txt
|
|
(This file)
|
|
|
|
You should now have a file ip2mkdev in your current working directory with
|
|
permissions set to execute. Running that script with then create the
|
|
necessary devices for the Computone boards, interfaces, and ports which
|
|
are present on you system at the time it is run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
# This is a shell archive (produced by GNU sharutils 4.2.1).
|
|
# To extract the files from this archive, save it to some FILE, remove
|
|
# everything before the `!/bin/sh' line above, then type `sh FILE'.
