CY(4)

NAME
cy - Cyclades Cyclom-{4, 8, 16, 32}Y asynchronous comms board device driver

SYNOPSIS
cy0 at isa? iomem 0xd4000 irq 12
cy* at pci? dev ? function ?

DESCRIPTION
This driver provides an interface to Cyclades Cyclom-4Y, Cyclom-8Y, Cyclom-16Y, and Cyclom-32Y asynchronous multiport serial boards. These boards are based around Cirrus Logic CD1400 communication controllers.

The device minor numbers for this driver are encoded as follows:

        d c c p p p p p	- bits in the minor device number
        bits    meaning
        ----    -------
        ppppp   physical serial line (i.e. port) to use:
    		0-3 on Cyclom-4Y
    		0-7 on Cyclom-8Y
    		0-15 on Cyclom-16Y
    		0-31 on Cyclom-32Y
        cc      card unit number; note this limits the driver to
    	    four cards per system
        d       set to use as a dial-out line

FLOW CONTROL
The cy driver makes use of the CD1400's automatic CTS flow control. In addition, the CD1400's automatic input flow control can be used. This requires the kernel configuration option CY_HW_RTS and a special cable that exchanges the RTS and DTR lines.

DIAGNOSTICS

cy%d: port %d: can't allocate tty There is not enough memory to allocate tty data structures.

cy%d: can't allocate input buffer There is not enough memory to allocate the data input buffer.

Additional debugging output can be enable with the kernel configuration option CY_DEBUG. Diagnostic counters may be enabled with the kernel configuration option CY_DEBUG1.

BUGS
Support for the Cyclom-32Y has not been tested.
