33Cyclades Cyclom-{4, 8, 16}Y asynchronous comms board device driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.\".Cd "cy0 at isa? tty irq 10 iomem 0xdc000 iosiz 8192 vector cyintr"
36.Cd "cy0 at isa? iomem 0xd4000 irq 12"
37.Cd "cy* at pci? dev ? function ?"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39This driver provides an interface to Cyclades Cyclom-4Y, Cyclom-8Y and
40Cyclom-16Y asynchronous multiport serial boards.  These boards are based
41around Cirrus Logic CD1400 communication controllers.
42.Pp
43The device minor numbers for this driver are encoded as follows:

62.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
63.Bl -diag
64.It "cy%d: tty input queue overflow"
65Incoming characters have been discarded due to a buffer overflow.  This is
66caused by the process in control of the device not read(2)ing characters
67fast enough.
68.It "cy%d: receive fifo overrun"
69Incoming characters have been discarded due to a CD1400 channel overrun.  This
70is caused by interrupts not being serviced sufficiently quickly to prevent
71the 12 byte receive FIFO on a serial channel from overflowing.  Reducing
72the value of the \fIRxFifoThreshold\fR #define from 8 to something smaller may
73help slow machines avoid this problem.  The driver must have been compiled
74with the \fILogOverruns\fR option defined (the default) in order for this
75condition to be logged.

80.Sh AUTHORS
81The driver was written by Andrew Herbert <andrew@werple.apana.org.au>, and
82is still under development (from time to time :-).
83.Sh HISTORY
84Some ideas for the architecture of this driver's two-layer processing model
85were derived from the fas 2.10 driver by Uwe Doering
86<gemini@geminix.in-berlin.de> and the high-performance com driver by Bruce
87Evans <bde@kralizec.zeta.org.au>.
88.Pp
89This work was made possible through the donation of a Cyclom-8Y board by the
90manufacturer, Cyclades Corporation.  However, neither Cyclades nor the author
91make any warranties regarding this software, nor guarantees of support.
92.Sh BUGS
93There is currently no BREAK handling - breaks are ignored.
94There is no support for bad-character reporting, except via PARMRK.
95The Cyclom-[48]Y boards do not listen to the RTS signal for receiver flow
96control.
97FIFO overruns are only logged when the termios IGNPAR setting is enabled.
