Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

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.
