C.3 Device node nameing convention
Each serial port has two device node
ttyeg? for non modem
ttyEG? for modem
If there are more than two boards installed, device
nameing convention table as below.
Board Number Device Name
1st board ttyeg0 ~ ttyeg7 ttyEG0 ~ ttyEG7
2nd board ttyfg0 ~ ttyfg7 ttyFG0 ~ ttyFG7
3rd board ttygg0 ~ ttygg7 ttyGG0 ~ ttyGG7
4th board ttyhg0 ~ ttyhg7 ttyHG0 ~ ttyHG7
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D. Utility
D1. snxdump - dump port informations, do command:
# snxdump
the informations should be like this
================ Found 4 GOLDEN port, list informations below ==============
ttyeg0 --
GOLDEN 4056 Series (bus:2 device: 1) , base address = 9000, irq = 7
ttyeg1 --
GOLDEN 4056 Series (bus:2 device: 1) , base address = 9008, irq = 7
ttyeg2 --
GOLDEN 4056 Series (bus:2 device: 1) , base address = 9400, irq = 7
ttyeg3 --
GOLDEN 4056 Series (bus:2 device: 1) , base address = 9408, irq = 7
=============================================================================
In this case, means ttyeg0 is the first port on golden 4056
series board, base address is 0x9000 and irq is 7.
bus:2 means the bus number of board is 2.
device:2 means the device number of board is 2.
If no information print on screen. Make sure the golden board installed in
motherboard and driver installed into kernel.
D2. snxterm - dumb terminal for test tty device node data transmitting and receiving, do command:
# snxterm
