[PATCH/RFC] serial: Add ioctl to enable auto rs485 mode with some Exar UARTs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

please see my patch for enabling the RS485 half-duplex control below.
Please note that I am using this on a PowerPC platform. So I needed to
add the ioctl to the PowerPC header. As Wolfgang stated, it is
already in the x86 header. I am not sure if I have to post the modification
on the powerpc header to the PowerPC list or if it will be accepted here
as well.  .... But first I will have to see what you think of this patch :-)

Matthias


Some Exar UARTs support a auto rs485 mode. In this mode
the UART's RTS# pin is activated during transmitting and
can be used to enable a rs485 line driver. This has nothing
to do with attempts to do this by manually by asserting/
deasserting handshake lines.
