|
|
The \fBNDGBPORTS\fR option defines the total number of ports on all cards
|
|
installed in the system. When not defined the number is computed:
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
default \fBNDGBPORTS\fR = number_of_described_DigiBoard_cards * 16
|
|
|
|
If it is less than the actual number of ports
|
|
the system will be able to use only the
|
|
first \fBNDGBPORTS\fR ports. If it is greater then all ports will be usable
|
|
but some memory will be wasted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Meaning of \fBflags\fR:
|
|
.br
|
|
\fB0x0001\fR use alternate pinout (exchange DCD and DSR lines)

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm dgb
|
|
driver provides support for DigiBoard PC/Xe and PC/Xi series intelligent
|
|
serial multiport cards with asynchronous interfaces based on the
|
|
.Tn EIA
|
|
.Tn RS-232C
|
|
.Pf ( Tn CCITT
|
|
.Tn V.24 )
|
|
standard.
|
|
.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 for newer versions of cards 115200.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The driver doesn't use any interrupts, it is ``polling-based''. This means that
|
|
it uses clock interrupts instead of interrupts generated by DigiBoard cards and
|
|
checks the state of cards 25 times per second. This is practical because the
|
|
DigiBoard cards have large input and output buffers (more than 1Kbyte per
|
|
port) and hardware that allows efficiently finding the port that needs
|
|
attention. The only problem seen with this policy is slower
|
|
SLIP and PPP response.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each line in the kernel configuration file describes one card, not one port
|
|
as in the
|
|
.Xr sio 4
|
|
driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em flags
|
|
keyword may be used on each
|
|
.Em "device dgb"
|
|
line in the kernel configuration file
|
|
to change the pinout of the interface or to use new PC/Xe cards
|
|
which can work with an 8K memory window in compatibility mode
|
|
(with a 64K memory window). Note
|
|
that using 8K memory window doesn't mean shorter input/output buffers, it means
|
|
only that all buffers will be mapped to the same memory address and switched as
|
|
needed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em port
|
|
value must be the same
|
|
as the
|
|
.Em port
|
|
set on the card by jumpers.
|
|
For PC/Xi cards the same rule is applicable to the
|
|
.Em iomem
|
|
value. It must be the same as the memory address set on the card
|
|
by jumpers.
|
|
.\"Some documentation gives the address as a ``paragraph'' or ``segment'';
|
|
.\"you can get the value of address by adding the digit "0" at end of
|
|
.\"paragraph value, e.g., 0xfc000 -> 0xfc0000.
|
|
For PC/Xe cards there is no need to use jumpers for this purpose.
|
|
In fact there are no jumpers to do it. Just
|
|
write the address you want as the
|
|
.Em iomem
|
|
value in kernel config file and the card will be programmed
|
|
to use this address.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The same range of memory addresses may be used
|
|
for all the DigiBoards installed
|
|
(but not for any other card or real memory). DigiBoards
|
|
with a large amount of memory (256K or 512K and perhaps
|
|
even 128K) must be mapped
|
|
to memory addresses outside of the first megabyte. If the computer
|
|
has more than 15 megabytes of memory then there is no free address space
|
|
outside of the first megabyte where such DigiBoards can be mapped.
|
|
In this case you
|
|
may need to reduce the amount of memory in the computer.
|
|
But many machines provide a better solution. They have the ability to
|
|
``turn off'' the memory in the 16th megabyte (addresses 0xF00000 - 0xFFFFFF)
|
|
using the
|
|
BIOS setup. Then the DigiBoard's address space can be set to this ``hole''.
|
|
.\" XXX the following should be true for all serial drivers and
|
|
.\" should not be repeated in the man pages for all serial drivers.
|
|
.\" It was copied from sio.4. The only changes were s/sio/dgb/g.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Serial ports controlled by the
|
|
.Nm dgb
|
|
driver can be used for both `callin' and `callout'.
|
|
For each port there is a callin device and a callout device.
|
|
The minor number of the callout device is 128 higher
|
|
than that of the corresponding callin port.
|
|
The callin device is general purpose.
|
|
Processes opening it normally wait for carrier
|
|
and for the callout device to become inactive.
|
|
The callout device is used to steal the port from
|
|
processes waiting for carrier on the callin device.
|
|
Processes opening it do not wait for carrier
|
|
and put any processes waiting for carrier on the callin device into
|
|
a deeper sleep so that they do not conflict with the callout session.
|
|
The callout device is abused for handling programs that are supposed
|
|
to work on general ports and need to open the port without waiting
|
|
but are too stupid to do so.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm dgb
|
|
driver also supports an initial-state and a lock-state control
|
|
device for each of the callin and the callout "data" devices.
|
|
The minor number of the initial-state device is 32 higher
|
|
than that of the corresponding data device.
|
|
The minor number of the lock-state device is 64 higher
|
|
than that of the corresponding data device.
|
|
The termios settings of a data device are copied
|
|
from those of the corresponding initial-state device
|
|
on first opens and are not inherited from previous opens.
|
|
Use
|
|
.Xr stty 1
|
|
in the normal way on the initial-state devices to program
|
|
initial termios states suitable for your setup.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The lock termios state acts as flags to disable changing
|
|
the termios state. E.g., to lock a flag variable such as
|
|
CRTSCTS, use
|
|
.Em "stty crtscts"
|
|
on the lock-state device. Speeds and special characters
|
|
may be locked by setting the corresponding value in the lock-state
|
|
device to any nonzero value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Correct programs talking to correctly wired external devices
|
|
.\" XXX change next line in other man pages too, and rewrite this paragraph.
|
|
work with almost arbitrary initial states and no locking,
|
|
but other setups may benefit from changing some of the default
|
|
initial state and locking the state.
|
|
In particular, the initial states for non (POSIX) standard flags
|
|
should be set to suit the devices attached and may need to be
|
|
locked to prevent buggy programs from changing them.
|
|
E.g., CRTSCTS should be locked on for devices that support
|
|
RTS/CTS handshaking at all times and off for devices that don't
|
|
support it at all. CLOCAL should be locked on for devices
|
|
that don't support carrier. HUPCL may be locked off if you don't
|
|
want to hang up for some reason. In general, very bad things happen
|
|
if something is locked to the wrong state, and things should not
|
|
be locked for devices that support more than one setting. The
|
|
CLOCAL flag on callin ports should be locked off for logins
|
|
to avoid certain security holes, but this needs to be done by
|
|
getty if the callin port is used for anything else.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver is derived from the
|
|
.Xr sio 4
|
|
driver and the DigiBoard driver from
|
|
.Tn Linux

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The implementation of sending BREAK is broken. BREAK of fixed length of 1/4 s
|
|
is sent anyway.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There was a bug in implementation of
|
|
.Xr select 2 .
|
|
It is fixed now but not widely tested yet.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is no ditty command. Most of its functions (alternate pinout,
|
|
speed up to 115200 baud, etc.) are implemented in the driver itself. Some
|
|
other functions are missing.
