serial multiplexer device interface

|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "dh0 at uba0 csr 0160020 vector dhrint dhxint" Op Ar flags

|
.Cd "dm0 at uba0 csr 0170500 vector dmintr" Op Ar flags
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
A
|
|
.Tn DH-11
|
|
provides 16 serial communication lines;
|
|
.Tn DM-11 Ns s
|
|
may optionally be
|
|
paired with
|
|
.Tn DH-11 Ns s
|
|
to provide modem control for the lines.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An optional argument
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
may be supplied with the device specification
|
|
in the
|
|
.Xr config 8
|
|
file indicating
|
|
that the line corresponding to
|
|
bit number
|
|
.Ar i
|
|
is not properly
|
|
connected, and should be treated as hard-wired with carrier
|
|
always present. Thus specifying
|
|
.Ql flags 0x0004
|
|
for
|
|
.Li dh0
|
|
would cause line
|
|
.Pa ttyh2
|
|
to be treated in this way.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Normal I/O
|
|
control parameters for individual lines are managed by
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
calls.
|
|
Line speeds may be initiated via
|
|
.Xr getty 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr stty 1
|
|
or may be communicated by other programs which
|
|
utilize
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
such as
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
|
|
see
|
|
.Xr tty 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm dh
|
|
driver monitors the rate of input on each board,
|
|
and switches between the use of character-at-a-time interrupts
|
|
and input silos.
|
|
While the silo is enabled during periods of high-speed input,
|
|
the driver polls for input 30 times per second.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS

|
.It dh%d: NXM.
|
|
No response from
|
|
.Tn UNIBUS
|
|
on a dma transfer
|
|
within a timeout period. This is often followed by a
|
|
.Tn UNIBUS
|
|
adapter
|
|
error. This occurs most frequently when the
|
|
.Tn UNIBUS
|
|
is heavily loaded
|
|
and when devices which hog the bus (such as
|
|
.Tn RK07 Ns s) are present.
|
|
It is not serious.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It dh%d: silo overflow.
|
|
The character input silo overflowed
|
|
before it could be serviced. This can happen if a hard error occurs
|
|
when the
|
|
.Tn CPU
|
|
is running with elevated priority, as the system will
|
|
then print a message on the console with interrupts disabled.
|
|
It is not serious.
