Dear Michel, i have downloaded our 2.3 (2.4) kernel to understand better what you meant about m68kserial.c & co. The result is that in 2.3 exists a only big amiserial.c driver that, i think, covers only our internal serial. I have searched for multiface III code that is referenced in make menuconfig but it seems disappeared. May it be integrated in amiserial ? I will make a more in-deep search but seems that there isn't. The BIG question is: must us create drivers so big as amiserial.c for each our serial board ? ( little provocation... :) ) Seriously, what will be the strategy we will use ? Is true that today the 99% of the serial boards (ours too) use StarTech chips and Amiga is Plug&Play as others...(or more) but i think that a more modular but similar approach as the past used (but not approved) will save space. In what it seems to be at a first quick read amiserial.c covers all the job: from tty to the serial chip. Must we work in this so extended fashon or... there are other ideas ? May be i have not understood something (i have downoaded 2.3 yesterday) but i wish to have your (and group ) opinions. Thanks Giorgio |
