I recently compiled and tried to install FAS 2.07 on our ps2/80
running Xenix 2.3.3. We have two IBM dual-asynch boards (four ports)
in addition to the motherboard port.
By defining NEED_PUT_GETCHAR, I got the new kernel to boot, with the
following startup messages from FAS:
%fas 0x03F8-0x03FF 04 - unit=0 type=* release=2.07.0
%fas 0x02F8-0x02FF 03 - unit=1 type=* release=2.07.0
%fas 0x3220-0x3227 03 - unit=2 type=* release=2.07.0
%fas 0x3228-0x322F 03 - unit=3 type=F release=2.07.0
%fas 0x4220-0x4227 03 - unit=4 type=F release=2.07.0
I am not sure why FAS thinks the on-board port and the first
dual-asych board are not capable of FIFOs. So far, the question is
academic, because I cannot get gettys running on the serial ports,
and FAS seems to lock up the console until the only relief is the
red switch.
I used the following declarations in space.c:
#define NUM_PHYSICAL_UNITS 5
uint fas_port [NUM_PHYSICAL_UNITS] =
{
0x3f8, 0x2f8, 0x3220, 0x3228, 0x4220
};
uint fas_vec [NUM_PHYSICAL_UNITS] =
{
0x4, 0x3, 0x3, 0x3, 0x3
};
uint fas_mcb [NUM_PHYSICAL_UNITS] =
{
0, 0, 0, 0, 0
};
uint fas_modem [NUM_PHYSICAL_UNITS] =
{
EN_DTR | CA_DCD | UB_RING,
EN_DTR | CA_DCD | UB_RING,
EN_DTR | CA_DCD | UB_RING,
EN_DTR | CA_DCD | UB_RING,
EN_DTR | CA_DCD | UB_RING
};
uint fas_flow [NUM_PHYSICAL_UNITS] =
{
HI_RTS | HO_CTS_ON_DSR,
HI_RTS | HO_CTS_ON_DSR,
HI_RTS | HO_CTS_ON_DSR,
HI_RTS | HO_CTS_ON_DSR,
HI_RTS | HO_CTS_ON_DSR
};
and added the following devices to /dev, /etc/ttys, and /etc/ttytype:
device major minor
ttyF00 5 32
ttyF01 5 33
ttyF02 5 34
ttyF03 5 35
ttyF04 5 36
ttyFM00 5 192
Any ideas what is awry? Has anyone succeeded in getting FAS to work
on a similar setup? Thanks.
