TTY Driver Vs. UART Driver

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

 



Hi All,
I'm starting to develop a serial driver for a Bar Code Reader.
My questions is: Which is the relationship between the tty driver and the uart driver? For instance, take a look of serial_core.c (http://lxr.linux.no/source/drivers/serial/serial_core.c#L2059).Both are related but I cannot understand the relationship and which one you should use in which case. To register a serial device driver should I use: tty_register_driver() or uart_register_driver ?
I'm using kernel 2.6.15 - Ubuntu 6.06

Thanks in advance.
