31.Sh NAME
32.Nm dz
33.Nd
34.Tn eMIPS
35console serial device interface
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "dz* at ebus0 addr ?"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39This serial line provides a simple communication line with no modem control.
40It is not adequate for
41.Ux
42dialup use.
43.Pp
44Normal I/O
45control parameters for individual lines are managed by
46.Xr ioctl 2
47calls.
48Line speeds may be initiated via
49the
50.Xr ttys 5
51file,
52.Xr stty 1
53or
54.Xr ifconfig 8
55to name a few,
56see
57.Xr tty 4 .
58.Pp
59The
60.Nm dz
61driver monitors the rate of input on each board,
62and switches between the use of character-at-a-time interrupts
63and input silos.
64While the silo is enabled during periods of high-speed input,
65the driver polls for input 30 times per second.
66.Sh FILES

70.El
71.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
72.Bl -diag
73.It dz%d: silo overflow .
74The 1 character input silo overflowed before it could be serviced.
75This can happen if a hard error occurs when the
76.Tn CPU
77is running with elevated priority, as the system will
78then print a message on the console with interrupts disabled.
79It is not serious.
