Using PCI Serial with Linux

Quick Start
This section is for experienced Linux users who are familiar with the
lspci and setserial tools. If you are not familiar with either of these
tools or if you require a detailed explanation of the steps, skip to the next
section, Setup.
1.

If you do not have enough available serial devices ( /dev/ttyS*) for
each port on your multiport interface, create a new serial device by
entering the following:
linux# cd /dev
linux /dev# ./MAKEDEV ttyS

2.

Find the port address, IRQ, and memory assignment of your PCI serial
interface by enter the following:
linux# lspci -v -n -d 1093:*

3.

Assign the serial driver to your devices. Make sure you precede the
port addresses with 0x.
•

For a PCI-232 interface, enter the following:
linux# setserial /dev/ttyS uart
16550a port  irq 
^fourport

•

For a PCI-485 interface, which supports a higher baud_base of
460.8K at startup, enter the following:
linux# setserial /dev/ttyS uart
16550a port  irq 
baud_base 460800 ^fourport

4.

Enable the PCI interrupt on your interface. To use intenable (from
the PCI-SERIAL directory) to enable interrupts on your PCI serial
interface, enter the following:
linux PCI-SERIAL# ./intenable 

5.

If you have a PCI-485 interface, set the transceiver mode for each serial
port. Refer to the section Select Transceiver Mode for more
information about selecting a PCI-485 transceiver mode.

6.

After you connect a cable between the two ports, test the setup by
running serialtest (from the PCI-SERIAL directory).
linux#

Using PCI Serial with Linux

./serialtest

www.natinst.com

Setup
After you install the serial hardware (as shown in your PCI serial getting
started manual), follow these steps to set up the interface.

Create Devices
Create a device for each port on your multiport interface. You only need to
do this step once. Port address is the I/O address of the device, and port
number is the device/serial port number of the port. Port number is used in
the following context: ttyS. Since serial ports built into
your computer are typically named from /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/ttyS3, the
port number you choose needs to be four or greater.
Enter the /dev directory, then use the MAKEDEV script to create a device for
each serial port on the interface by entering the following.
linux# cd /dev
linux /dev# ./MAKEDEV ttyS

MAKEDEV Example
Enter the following to make the devices for a two-port interface:
linux# cd /dev
linux /dev# ./MAKEDEV ttyS4
linux /dev# ./MAKEDEV ttyS5

Find Interface Information
Follow these instructions to find the port address, IRQ, and memory
assignment of your PCI serial interface.
Note Repeat this section each time you add another interface or physical device to the

computer.
Note This step may be done in normal user mode.

1.

Use lspci (a command that displays information about the PCI bus)
with the -v option (be verbose), the -n option (show PCI vendor and
device codes as numbers), and the -d 1093:* option (display
information only on devices with a National Instruments Vendor ID
of 1093), to find the resource information of your serial interface.
linux# lspci -v -n -d 1093:*

Something similar to the following should appear. In this output, the
IRQ is 11; the memory location is 0xdff80, and the port addresses are
0xdff0 and 0xdfe0.

Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
Memory at 000dff80 (low-1M, non-prefetchable)
I/O ports at dff0
I/O ports at dfe0

Write down the IRQ, memory location, and all the I/O port addresses
for your computer.
Note PCI Eight-Port Users—The PCI eight-port interfaces show only one I/O port

address listing. The addresses of the other seven I/O ports are calculated by adding eight to
the previous port address, (n × 8 + I/O port) for 0 < n < 8. The lspci call displays
something similar to the following:
00:0a.0 Class ff00: 1093:d150 (rev 01)
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
Memory at 000dff80 (low-1M, non-prefetchable)
I/O ports at df00

Assign Serial Driver
Assign the serial driver to your devices.
Note You need to repeat this step each time you restart your computer or until you set up
your /etc/rc.d/rc.serial file. (Refer to the section Sample /etc/rc.d/rc.serial File for
more information on setting up the /etc/rc.d/rc.serial file.)

Enter the following to use setserial to tell the kernel each device’s
UART, port address, and IRQ. Use information returned from the lspci
output, and remember to precede the port address with 0x.
linux#

setserial /dev/ttyS uart 16550A
port  irq  ^fourport

Note The ^fourport flag is required regardless of how many ports you have on your
interface. The ^fourport flag tells the serial driver that you are not using an AST
four-port interface.
Caution

Using an invalid port can lock up your machine.

setserial Example
Enter the following to assign the serial driver to your devices for the values
in the above two-port lscpi output:
linux#

Assign Serial Drivers Using PCI-485
Since the PCI-485 supports a higher baud_base of 460.8K at start-up, also
enter the following at the linux prompt:
linux#
460800

setserial /dev/ttyS baud_base

For example, enter the following to assign the serial driver to /dev/ttyS4
for a PCI-485 serial port at port address 0xdfe0 and IRQ 11.
linux#

setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0xdfe0 irq
11 ^fourport

linux#

setserial /dev/ttyS4 baud_base 460800

Assign Serial Drivers Using PCI Eight-Port Interfaces
Enter the following to assign the serial driver to your devices for the PCI
eight-port lspci output. Notice that the entries for port are consecutive
and are separated by exactly 8 bytes.

Enable PCI Interrupt
To enable the PCI interrupt on your serial interface, use intenable,
provided in the PCI-SERIAL directory. Run intenable each time you
restart your computer. If you have more than one PCI serial interface, rerun
intenable with another PCI memory address specified in the command
line. Enter the following to use intenable:

For example, enter the following to enable interrupts for a PCI serial
interface with memory at 0x000dff80:
linux PCI-SERIAL# ./intenable dff80

Configuration
View Your Hardware Resources
To see what system resources your serial interface is using, use the
setserial command, as follows:
linux# setserial -gv /dev/ttyS

For the lspci and setserial examples, something similar to the
following should appear:
/dev/ttyS0,
/dev/ttyS1,

Enable FIFO Buffers
Use FIFOtrigger (from the PCI-SERIAL directory) to enable the receive
and transmit FIFOs and to set the trigger levels of these FIFOs.
FIFOtrigger enables the FIFO of only one serial port. To enable the FIFO
for your other serial ports, rerun FIFOtrigger with a different serial port
number specified in the command line. Enter the following to use
FIFOtrigger:
linux PCI-SERIAL#./FIFOtrigger

The hardware issues a transmit empty interrupt when the number of
characters in the transmit FIFO falls below the trigger level. Also, the
hardware issues a receive full interrupt when the number of characters in
the receive FIFO rises above the trigger level. For more information on
FIFO buffers, refer to your PCI serial getting started manual.

FIFO Example
Enter the following to set the receive FIFO trigger level to 56 and the
transmit trigger level to 32 for /dev/ttyS5:
linux PCI-SERIAL# ./FIFOtrigger 5 0x80 0x20

Configure struct termios
Every serial port has an associated struct termios. By using this
struct termios in a program, you can set the baud rate, character size
(number of data bits), parity, control characters, flow control, and input and
output mode. For more information about the termios structure, refer to the
termios man page. To view the termios man page, enter the
following:
linux# man termios

To configure your serial port, use a program segment similar to the
termios_program.c in your PCI-SERIAL directory.

Using PCI Serial with Linux

Configure PCI-485
If you are using a PCI-485 interface, you can select the transceiver
mode for each device and select the lower baud rates listed in
termios_program.c provided in your PCI-SERIAL directory.

Select Transceiver Mode
Use the rs485 program (from the PCI-SERIAL directory) to select the
transceiver mode. rs485 sets the transceiver mode for only one serial port.
To set the transceiver mode for other serial ports, rerun rs485 with a
different serial port number specified in the command line. For more
information on the transceiver control modes, refer to your serial getting
started manual. If you do not know which transceiver mode to use, choose
Four-Wire Mode.

linux PCI-SERIAL# ./rs485  

rs485 Example
Enter the following to select Four-Wire Mode for /dev/ttyS5:
linux PCI-SERIAL# ./rs485 5 0

Lower Baud Rate Selection
To use a baud rate lower than 200, use setserial and the clockspeed
program (from the PCI-SERIAL directory) to lower the baud base of a
single serial port from 460800 to 115200. After changing the baud base
to 115200, the max baud rate you can achieve is 115200 baud (until you
change the baud base back to 460800).
After you change the baud_base of the serial port using setserial and
run the clockspeed program, you can use the lower baud rate flags in
your programs. The clockspeed program changes the baud base of only

Using PCI Serial with Linux

10

one serial port. To change the baud base of your other serial ports, rerun
clockspeed with a different serial port number specified in the command
line. Enter the following to set the baud base. (In this example, high equals
a baud base of 460800 and low equals a baud base of 115200):
linux# setserial /dev/ttyS baud_base 115200
linux PCI-SERIAL#./clockspeed  <"high" or
"low">

For example, enter the following to select a baud base of 115200 for
/dev/ttyS4 and for /dev/ttyS5:
linux# setserial /dev/ttyS4 baud_base 115200
linux# setserial /dev/ttyS5 baud_base 115200
linux PCI-SERIAL# ./clockspeed 4 low
linux PCI-SERIAL# ./clockspeed 5 low

Enter the following to change the baud base back to 460800 for
/dev/ttyS4 and for /dev/ttyS5:
linux# setserial /dev/ttyS4 baud_base 460800
linux# setserial /dev/ttyS5 baud_base 460800
linux PCI-SERIAL# ./clockspeed 4 high
linux PCI-SERIAL# ./clockspeed 5 high

Test the Setup
After you connect the cables to the port (as shown in your PCI serial getting
started manual), run the serialtest program (from the PCI-SERIAL
directory) to verify your setup. Make sure you specify two different ports
for the serialtest program, as shown in the following:
linux PCI-SERIAL# ./serialtest 


If the test is successful, it displays a SUCCESS message. If the test hangs,
press  to exit the program, and continue to the next section,
Troubleshooting and Common Questions.
To test /dev/ttyS4 and /dev/ttyS5, connect a cable between the
two ports and enter the following:

Assign Driver
Use these instructions to automatically assign the driver at startup using
/etc/rc.d/rc.serial.
You should not change the /etc/rc.d/rc.serial file until you have
your serial interfaces installed and configured. If you add another device or
interface to your computer, and your lspci output changes, make sure you
also change /etc/rc.d/rc.serial.
Depending on your Linux distribution, you might not have an /etc/rc.d/
directory. In this case, your rc.serial would be located under
/etc/rc.serial. If you do not have /etc/rc.d/, replace the references
to /etc/rc.d/ with /etc/. If you are using a Debian distribution, replace
the references to /etc/rc.d/rc.serial with
/etc/rc.boot/0setserial.
