RC(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual RC(4) NAME rc -- RISCom/8 multiport card SYNOPSIS device isa device rc DESCRIPTION The RISCom/8 is an eight port ISA RS-232C communications multiplexer with a built in RISC processor. It uses a block of sixteen I/O ports in the range 0x200 to 0x3f0 selectable by on-board switches or jumpers. The block must be aligned on a sixteen port boundary. The jumper-selectable hardware interrupt level may be set to be detected during system initial- ization using settings found in the /boot/device.hints file. This driver is mostly based on the Cirrus Logic CL-CD180 driver. HARDWARE The rc driver provides support for the SDL Communications RISCom/8 boards. DIAGNOSTICS The following driver specific error messages may be reported: rc%d channel%d: interrupt-level buffer overflow An internal buffer over- flow error has occurred on the listed channel. The rc driver will need to be reloaded to correct this. rc%d: Bad char chan %d The channel has obtained a bad set of characters. rc%d: Got extra chars chan %d The rc driver got more characters than ex- pected on the channel shown. rc%d: data mismatch chan %d ptr %d (%d != %d) Data sent from channel %d to the rx buffer was different then expected. rc%d: channel %d command timeout, rc.c line: %d A command timeout has occurred on the channel, the src/sys/dev/rc/rc.c file can be consulted for more information.

This manual page first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3. AUTHORS This manual page was written by Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org>. BUGS The rc driver code still uses the spl(9) functions. These should be re- placed by mutex(9) functions. The various ttyld_*() functions should be documented. BSD March 18, 2005 BSD
