Not exactly. The USB controller is a USB controller. It is mapped into the address space of one SCC, and may use some of that peripheral hardware, but it is not configurable as a SCC. Since you have the 823e, yes SCC3 can be used. > .... I guess my real question is, rather then > re-invent the code, is there an implementation of the > character recognition out there in GPL land? I believe all the "character recognition" does is either map characters or terminate buffer operations. If the device is still used as a uart, just modify the driver to initialize the characters you want (as it stores defaults right now). You can be a little more fancy and add an ioctl() if you want. If you want a custom driver that isn't a uart, then you have to write a new driver. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
