Cyclades Cyclom-{4, 8, 16, 32}Y asynchronous comms board serial device driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "cy0 at isa? iomem 0xd4000 irq 12"
.Cd "cy* at pci? dev ? function ?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This driver provides an interface to Cyclades Cyclom-4Y, Cyclom-8Y,
Cyclom-16Y, and Cyclom-32Y asynchronous multiport serial boards.  These
boards are based around Cirrus Logic CD1400 communication controllers.
.Pp
The device minor numbers for this driver are encoded as follows:
.Pp
.Bd -literal
    d c c p p p p p	- bits in the minor device number

    bits    meaning
    ----    -------
    ppppp   physical serial line (i.e. port) to use:
		0-3 on Cyclom-4Y
		0-7 on Cyclom-8Y
		0-15 on Cyclom-16Y
		0-31 on Cyclom-32Y

    cc      card unit number; note this limits the driver to
	    four cards per system

    d       set to use as a dial-out line
.Ed
.Sh FLOW CONTROL
The
.Nm
driver makes use of the CD1400's automatic CTS flow control.  In addition,
the CD1400's automatic input flow control can be used.  This requires the
kernel configuration option
.Em CY_HW_RTS
and a special cable that exchanges the RTS and DTR lines.
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
.Bl -diag
.It "cy%d: port %d: can't allocate tty"
There is not enough memory to allocate tty data structures.
.It "cy%d: can't allocate input buffer"
There is not enough memory to allocate the data input buffer.
.El
.Pp
Additional debugging output can be enable with the kernel configuration
option
.Em CY_DEBUG .
Diagnostic counters may be enabled with the kernel configuration option
.Em CY_DEBUG1 .
.Sh BUGS
Support for the Cyclom-32Y has not been tested.
.Sh AUTHOR
The
.Nm
driver was written by Timmo Rossi.
