Subject: Comtrol RocketPort porting
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 10:27:12 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <386028EE.8AA33490@nibh.go.jp> (raw)
I have been debugging RocketPort driver to LinuxPPC for nearly a month.
I would like to use it for a ham radio server which needs serial ports.
Today, as far as I believe, the driver finally works on my PowerMac.
Configuration for debugging
Comtrol Rocketport PCI Octacable (8port)
Firmware revision F
Apple PowerMacintosh G4 400
LinuxPPC 1999 Q3 (very latest: download on 20 Dec 1999 from
cdrom.com)
Kernel 2.2.14pre9
Ted's alpha code, comtrol-1.17
Limitation
Tested only with minicom under above configuration.
Tested only port 0, 1, 3 and 7
The response from minicom seems a little dull if I compare it to
x86 environment.
Auto channel number detection fails. Fixed to 8 channels.
My modification ended up only a few things (most of them are endien
stuff), but the source codes I am working are currently very messy. I
will clean up them and do a little more debugging and would like to
place on my web site.
For someone who can't wait, I place the source codes I am working at
http://www.aist.go.jp/NIBH/~b0514/Linux/comtrol/
