Zilog 8530 Serial Communications Controller interface
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "scc* at ioasic? offset ?"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the Zilog 8530 Serial Communications
|
|
Controller (SCC) via the IOASIC found on DEC 3000/300, 3000/500 and
|
|
DECstation 5000 models in the /100, /20, and /240 series. Each SCC
|
|
device has two serial ports. The model 20 provides one SCC device.
|
|
Other models provide two, but one port of each device is dedicated to
|
|
mouse and keyboard input, respectively.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Input and output for each line may set to one of following baud rates:
|
|
50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600,
|
|
19200, 38400, or 57600.
|
|
Speeds up to 230400 are supported by the chip and the motherboard,
|
|
but speeds higher than 57600 do not work reliably without an external
|
|
clock signal.

.Pp
|
|
The mapping from units to serial-hardware outlets is idiosyncratic.
|
|
The even ports are wired serial connectors and the odd-numbered ports
|
|
are reserved for mouse and keyboard.
|
|
On machines with one port like
|
|
.Tn "Personal DECstations" ,
|
|
the single device is
|
|
.Pa ttya .
|
|
On the
|
|
.Tn "5000/1xx"
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn "5000/2xx" ,
|
|
the first serial port (default serial console) is
|
|
.Pa ttyc
|
|
and the second port is
|
|
.Pa ttya .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The IOASIC provides internal DMA channels that can be programmed to
|
|
transfer up to 4096 bytes of data into, or out, of an SCC without
|
|
further software intervention. This feature of the IOASIC is not yet
|
|
supported.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The mapping from device-special files (major and minor number) to chip
|
|
and port is arguably backwards.
|
|
.Tn Ultrix
|
|
tries to hide the hardware mapping, but
|
|
.Nx
|
|
does not.
|
|
Users wanting to use
|
|
.Tn "Ultrix"
|
|
compatible tty names
|
|
.Pa /dev/tty0
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /dev/tty1
|
|
for the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
comm-port lines should make links or device-special files which match
|
|
their hardware setup. |
