Subject: The RS485 driver problem...
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 09:51:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200501310951.24600.david.jander@protonic.nl> (raw)


Hi,

If you want to connect a RS485 transceiver to a normal UART, you always have 
the problem of dealing with enabling/disabling transmitter and recveiver. I 
have seen hardware that misuses RS-232 hardware handshaking lines (RTS/CTS) 
for this purpose. What I have not been able to find is a linux driver or 
software solution to this problem.

Has anybody used the CPM uarts (or even a standard 16C550 uart) for this 
purpose? How?

Greetings,
