Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1. Introduction
+
+ The Smartio family Linux driver, Ver. 1.1, supports following multiport
+ boards.
+
+ -C104P/H/HS, C104H/PCI, C104HS/PCI, CI-104J 4 port multiport board.
+ -C168P/H/HS, C168H/PCI 8 port multiport board.
+
+ This driver has been modified a little and cleaned up from the Moxa
+ contributed driver code and merged into Linux 2.2.14pre. In particular
+ official major/minor numbers have been assigned which are different to
+ those the original Moxa supplied driver used.
+
+ This driver and installation procedure have been developed upon Linux Kernel
+ 2.2.5 and backward compatible to 2.0.3x. This driver supports Intel x86 and
+ Alpha hardware platform. In order to maintain compatibility, this version
+ has also been properly tested with RedHat, OpenLinux, TurboLinux and
+ S.u.S.E Linux. However, if compatibility problem occurs, please contact
+ Moxa at support@moxa.com.tw.
+
+ In addition to device driver, useful utilities are also provided in this
+ version. They are
+ - msdiag Diagnostic program for detecting installed Moxa Smartio boards.
+ - msmon Monitor program to observe data count and line status signals.
+ - msterm A simple terminal program which is useful in testing serial
+ ports.
+ - io-irq.exe Configuration program to setup ISA boards. Please note that
+ this program can only be executed under DOS.
+
+ All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under
+ GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General
+ Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail.
+
+ In Moxa's ftp sites, you may always find latest driver at
+ ftp://ftp.moxa.com or ftp://ftp.moxa.com.tw.
+
+ This version of driver can be installed as Loadable Module (Module driver)
+ or built-in into kernel (Static driver). You may refer to following
+ installation procedure for suitable one. Before you install the driver,
+ please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual.
+
+ We assume the user should be familiar with following documents.
+ - Serial-HOWTO
+ - Kernel-HOWTO
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+2. System Requirement
+ - Hardware platform: Intel x86 or Alpha machine
+ - Kernel version: 2.0.3x or 2.2.x
+ - gcc version 2.72 or later
+ - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+3. Installation
+
+ 3.1 Hardware installation
+
+ There are two types of buses, ISA and PCI, for Smartio family multiport
+ board.
+
+ ISA board
+ ---------
+ You'll have to configure CAP address, I/O address, Interrupt Vector
+ as well as IRQ before installing this driver. Please refer to hardware
+ installation procedure in User's Manual before proceed any further.
+ Please make sure the JP1 is open after the ISA board is set properly.
+
+ PCI board
+ ---------
+ You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid from IRQ conflict
+ with other ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation
+ procedure in User's Manual in advance.
+
+ IRQ Sharing
+ -----------
+ Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to
+ 4 Moxa Smartio Family multiport boards can be installed together on
+ one system and they can share the same IRQ.
+
+ 3.2 Driver files and device naming convention
+
+ The driver file may be obtained from ftp, CD-ROM or floppy disk. The
+ first step, anyway, is to copy driver file "mxser.tgz" into specified
+ directory. e.g. /moxa. The execute commands as below.
+
+ # cd /moxa
+ # tar xvf /dev/fd0
+ or
+ # cd /moxa
+ # cp /mnt/cdrom/<driver directory>/mxser.tgz .
+ # tar xvfz mxser.tgz
+
+ You may find all the driver and utilities files in /moxa/mxser.
+ Following installation procedure depends on the model you'd like to
+ run the driver. If you prefer module driver, please refer to 3.3.
+ If static driver is required, please refer to 3.4.
+
+ Dialin and callout port
+ -----------------------
+ This driver remains traditional serial device properties. There're
+ two special file name for each serial port. One is dial-in port
+ which is named "ttyMxx". For callout port, the naming convention
+ is "cumxx".
+
+ Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
+ -----------------------------------------------
+ Naming convention for each Smartio multiport board is pre-defined
+ as below.
+
+ Board Num. Dial-in Port Callout port
+ 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7 cum0 - cum7
+ 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15 cum8 - cum15
+ 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23 cum16 - cum23
+ 4th board ttyM24 - ttym31 cum24 - cum31
+
+ Board sequence
+ --------------
+ This driver will activate ISA boards according to the parameter set
+ in the driver. After all specified ISA board activated, PCI board
+ will be installed in the system automatically driven.
+ Therefore the board number is sorted by the CAP address of ISA boards.
+ For PCI boards, their sequence will be after ISA boards and C168H/PCI
+ has higher priority than C104H/PCI boards.
+
+ 3.3 Module driver configuration
+ Module driver is easiest way to install. If you prefer static driver
+ installation, please skip this paragraph.
+ 1. Find "Makefile" in /moxa/mxser, then run
+
+ # make install
+
+ The driver files "mxser.o" and utilities will be properly compiled
+ and copied to system directories respectively.Then run
+
+ # insmod mxser
+
+ to activate the modular driver. You may run "lsmod" to check
+ if "mxser.o" is activated.
+
+ 2. Create special files by executing "msmknod".
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # ./msmknod
+
+ Default major numbers for dial-in device and callout device are
+ 174, 175. Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same
+ device naming.
+
+ 3. Up to now, you may manually execute "insmod mxser" to activate
+ this driver and run "rmmod mxser" to remove it. However, it's
+ better to have a boot time configuration to eliminate manual
+ operation.
+ Boot time configuration can be achieved by rc file. Run following
+ command for setting rc files.
+
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # cp ./rc.mxser /etc/rc.d
+ # cd /etc/rc.d
+
+ You may have to modify part of the content in rc.mxser to specify
+ parameters for ISA board. Please refer to rc.mxser for more detail.
+ Find "rc.serial". If "rc.serial" doesn't exist, create it by vi.
+ Add "rc.mxser" in last line. Next, open rc.local by vi
+ and append following content.
+
+ if [ -f /etc/rc.d/rc.serial ]; then
+ sh /etc/rc.d/rc.serial
+ fi
+
+ 4. Reboot and check if mxser.o activated by "lsmod" command.
+ 5. If you'd like to drive Smartio ISA boards in the system, you'll
+ have to add parameter to specify CAP address of given board while
+ activating "mxser.o". The format for parameters are as follows.
+
+ insmod mxser ioaddr=0x???,0x???,0x???,0x???
+ | | | |
+ | | | +- 4th ISA board
+ | | +------ 3rd ISA board
+ | +------------ 2nd ISA board
+ +------------------- 1st ISA board
+
+ 3.4 Static driver configuration
+
+ 1. Create link
+ # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
+ # ln -s /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c mxser.c
+
+ 2. Add CAP address list for ISA boards
+ In module mode, the CAP address for ISA board is given by
+ parameter. In static driver configuration, you'll have to
+ assign it within driver's source code. If you will not
+ install any ISA boards, you may skip to next portion.
+ The instructions to modify driver source code are as
+ below.
+ a. # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # vi mxser.c
+ b. Find the array mxserBoardCAP[] as below.
+
+ static int mxserBoardCAP[]
+ = {0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
+
+ c. Change the address within this array using vi. For
+ example, to driver 2 ISA boards with CAP address
+ 0x280 and 0x180 as 1st and 2nd board. Just to change
+ the source code as follows.
+
+ static int mxserBoardCAP[]
+ = {0x280, 0x180, 0x00, 0x00};
+
+ 3. Modify tty_io.c
+ # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/
+ # vi tty_io.c
+ Find pty_init(), insert "mxser_init()" as
+
+ pty_init();
+ mxser_init();
+
+ 4. Modify tty.h
+ # cd /usr/src/linux/include/linux
+ # vi tty.h
+ Find extern int tty_init(void), insert "mxser_init()" as
+
+ extern int tty_init(void);
+ extern int mxser_init(void);
+
+ 5. Modify Makefile
+ # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
+ # vi Makefile
+ Find L_OBJS := tty_io.o ...... random.o, add
+ "mxser.o" at last of this line as
+ L_OBJS := tty_io.o ....... mxser.o
+
+ 6. Rebuild kernel
+ The following are for Linux kernel rebuilding,for your reference only.
+ For appropriate details, please refer to the Linux document.
+
+ If 'lilo' utility is installed, please use 'make zlilo' to rebuild
+ kernel. If 'lilo' is not installed, please follow the following steps.
+
+ a. cd /usr/src/linux
+ b. make clean /* take a few minutes */
+ c. make bzImage /* take probably 10-20 minutes */
+ d. Backup original boot kernel. /* optional step */
+ e. cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz
+ f. Please make sure the boot kernel (vmlinuz) is in the
+ correct position. If you use 'lilo' utility, you should
+ check /etc/lilo.conf 'image' item specified the path
+ which is the 'vmlinuz' path, or you will load wrong
+ (or old) boot kernel image (vmlinuz).
+ g. chmod 400 /vmlinuz
+ h. lilo
+ i. rdev -R /vmlinuz 1
+ j. sync
+
+ Note that if the result of "make zImage" is ERROR, then you have to
+ go back to Linux configuration Setup. Type "make config" in directory
+ /usr/src/linux or "setup".
+
+ Since system include file, /usr/src/linux/include/linux/interrupt.h,
+ is modified each time the MOXA driver is installed, kernel rebuilding
+ is inevitable. And it takes about 10 to 20 minutes depends on the
+ machine.
+
+ 7. Make utility
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/utility
+ # make install
+
+ 8. Make special file
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # ./msmknod
+
+ 9. Reboot
+
+ 3.5 Custom configuration
+ Although this driver already provides you default configuration, you
+ still can change the device name and major number.The instruction to
+ change these parameters are shown as below.
+
+ Change Device name
+ ------------------
+ If you'd like to use other device names instead of default naming
+ convention, all you have to do is to modify the internal code
+ within the shell script "msmknod". First, you have to open "msmknod"
+ by vi. Locate each line contains "ttyM" and "cum" and change them
+ to the device name you desired. "msmknod" creates the device names
+ you need next time executed.
+
+ Change Major number
+ -------------------
+ If major number 30 and 35 had been occupied, you may have to select
+ 2 free major numbers for this driver. There are 3 steps to change
+ major numbers.
+
+ 1. Find free major numbers
+ In /proc/devices, you may find all the major numbers occupied
+ in the system. Please select 2 major numbers that are available.
+ e.g. 40, 45.
+ 2. Create special files
+ Run /moxa/mxser/driver/msmknod to create special files with
+ specified major numbers.
+ 3. Modify driver with new major number
+ Run vi to open /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c. Locate the line
+ contains "MXSERMAJOR". Change the content as below.
+ #define MXSERMAJOR 40
+ #define MXSERCUMAJOR 45
+ 4. Run # make install in /moxa/mxser/driver.
+
+ 3.6 Verify driver installation
+ You may refer to /var/log/messages to check the latest status
+ log reported by this driver whenever it's activated.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+4. Utilities
+ There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and
+ msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should
+ be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin.
+
+ msdiag - Diagnostic
+ --------------------
+ This utility provides the function to detect what Moxa Smartio multiport
+ board exists in the system.
+
+ msmon - Port Monitoring
+ -----------------------
+ This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports'
+ activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted
+ (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started.
+ Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g.
+ the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring
+ is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <->
+ (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER>
+ on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication
+ parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.
+
+ msterm - Terminal Emulation
+ ---------------------------
+ This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports,
+ especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple
+ application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the
+ port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a
+ dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+5. Setserial
+
+ Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below.
+
+ uart set UART type(16450-->disable FIFO, 16550A-->enable FIFO)
+ close_delay set the amount of time(in 1/100 of a second) that DTR
+ should be kept low while being closed.
+ closing_wait set the amount of time(in 1/100 of a second) that the
+ serial port should wait for data to be drained while
+ being closed, before the receiver is disable.
+ spd_hi Use 57.6kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_vhi Use 115.2kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_normal Use 38.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+6. Troubleshooting
+
+ The boot time error messages and solutions are stated as clearly as
+ possible. If all the possible solutions fail, please contact our technical
+ support team to get more help.
+
+ Error msg: More than 4 Moxa Smartio family boards found. Fifth board and
+ after are ignored.
+ Solution:
+ To avoid this problem, please unplug fifth and after board, because Moxa
+ driver supports up to 4 boards.
+
+ Error msg: Request_irq fail, IRQ(?) may be conflict with another device.
+ Solution:
+ Other PCI or ISA devices occupy the assigned IRQ. If you are not sure
+ which device causes the situation,please check /proc/interrupts to find
+ free IRQ and simply change another free IRQ for Moxa board.
+
+ Error msg: Board #: C1xx Series(CAP=xxx) interrupt number invalid.
+ Solution:
+ Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Please set
+ one IRQ (IRQ doesn't equal to zero) for one Moxa board.
+
+ Error msg: No interrupt vector be set for Moxa ISA board(CAP=xxx).
+ Solution:
+ Moxa ISA board needs an interrupt vector.Please refer to user's manual
+ "Hardware Installation" chapter to set interrupt vector.
+
+ Error msg: Couldn't install MOXA Smartio family driver!
+ Solution:
+ Load Moxa driver fail, the major number may conflict with other devices.
+ Please refer to previous section 3.5 to change a free major number for
+ Moxa driver.
+
+ Error msg: Couldn't install MOXA Smartio family callout driver!
+ Solution:
+ Load Moxa callout driver fail, the callout device major number may
+ conflict with other devices. Please refer to previous section 3.5 to
+ change a free callout device major number for Moxa driver.
