DESCRIPTION

The RISCom/8 is an eight port ISA RS-232C communications multiplexer with a built in RISC processor. It uses a block of sixteen I/O ports in the range 0x200 to 0x3f0 selectable by on-board switches or jumpers. The block must be aligned on a sixteen port boundary. The jumper-selectable hardware interrupt level may be set to be detected during system initialization using settings found in the /boot/device.hints file.

This driver is mostly based on the Cirrus Logic CL-CD180 driver.

HARDWARE

The driver provides support for the SDL Communications RISCom/8 boards.
