Description: PCI Express UART driver patch.
O.S.: Linux 2.4. This patch has been developed on the 2.4.33 Linux Kernel
To apply the patch:-
1. Paste the patch file into the char forlder in the kernel ( /usr/src/linux2.4.33/drivers/char)
2. To apply the patch, enter the following command:
patch -p0 < expresso_linux2.4_uart
3. Build the modules using
make modules
make modules_install
4. Reboot the system.
Note: In the log messages output by the serial module you may see a message like the one below when using a legacy UART:
Redundant entry in serial pci_table. Please send the output of
kernel: lspci -vv, this message (1415,c140,1415,c140)
kernel: and the manufacturer and name of serial board or modem board
kernel: to serial-pci-info@lists.sourceforge.net.
The driver assumes that any legacy device will have a standard baud_base value,
however ours does indeed have a different baud_base so the above message should
be ignored.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
