rc — RISCom/8 multiport card
Contents
Bugs
The rc driver code still uses the spl(9) functions. These should be replaced by mutex(9) functions.
The various ttyld_*() functions should be documented.
Debian March 18, 2005 RC(4)
Description
The RISCom/8 is an eight port ISA RS-232C communications multiplexer with a built in RISC processor. It
uses a block of sixteen I/O ports in the range 0x200 to 0x3f0 selectable by on-board switches or jumpers.
The block must be aligned on a sixteen port boundary. The jumper-selectable hardware interrupt level may
be set to be detected during system initialization using settings found in the /boot/device.hints file.
This driver is mostly based on the Cirrus Logic CL-CD180 driver.
Diagnostics
The following driver specific error messages may be reported:
rc%dchannel%d:interrupt-levelbufferoverflow An internal buffer overflow error has occurred on the
listed channel. The rc driver will need to be reloaded to correct this.
rc%d:Badcharchan%d The channel has obtained a bad set of characters.
rc%d:Gotextracharschan%d The rc driver got more characters than expected on the channel shown.
rc%d:datamismatchchan%dptr%d(%d!=%d) Data sent from channel %d to the rx buffer was different
then expected.
rc%d:channel%dcommandtimeout,rc.cline:%d A command timeout has occurred on the channel, the
src/sys/dev/rc/rc.c file can be consulted for more information.
Hardware
The rc driver provides support for the SDL Communications RISCom/8 boards.
History
The rc driver first appeared in FreeBSD 2.0.5. This manual page first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3.
