.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for NS8250-, NS16450-, and NS16550-based
|
|
.Tn EIA
|
|
.Tn RS-232C
|
|
.Pf ( Tn CCITT
|
|
.Tn V.28 )
|
|
communications interfaces.
|
|
The NS8250 and NS16450 have single character
|
|
buffers, and the NS16550 has a 16 character buffer.
|
|
.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, 57600, or 115200, or any other baud rate which is a factor
|
|
of 115200.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The ttyXX devices are traditional dial-in devices; the dtyXX devices are
|
|
used for dial-out.
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr tty 4 . )
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cd options COM_HAYESP
|
|
adds support for the Hayes ESP serial board.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cd options PPS_SYNC
|
|
enables code to use the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal line for attachment
|
|
to an external precision clock source
|
|
.Po
|
|
e.g.,
|
|
.Tn GPS ,
|
|
.Tn CDMA
|
|
.Pc
|
|
which generates a Pulse Per Second (PPS) signal.
|
|
This is used by
|
|
.Xr ntpd 8
|
|
to discipline the system clock, and more accurately count/measure time.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr options 4
|
|
for more discussion.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
With
|
|
.Cd options RND_COM
|
|
enabled, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver can be used to collect entropy for the
|
|
.Xr rnd 4
|
|
entropy pool.
|
|
The entropy is generated from interrupt randomness.
|
|
.Ss Arm32 specific
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq flags 1
|
|
is specified, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver will not set the
|
|
.Dv MCR_IENABLE
|
|
bit on the UART.
|
|
This is mainly for use on AST multiport boards, where the
|
|
.Dv MCR_IENABLE
|
|
bit is used to control whether or not the devices use a shared
|
|
interrupt.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was originally derived from the HP9000/300
|
|
.Ic dca
|
|
driver.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Data loss is possible on busy systems with unbuffered UARTs at high speed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The name of this driver and the constants which define the locations
|
|
of the various serial ports are holdovers from
|
|
.Tn DOS .
