The Linux Digiboard Driver
2
--------------------------
3
 
4
The Digiboard Driver for Linux supports the following boards:
5
 
6
 DigiBoard PC/Xe, PC/Xi, PC/Xeve
7
 
8
Limitations:
9
------------
10
Currently the Driver does not do autoprobing!
11
 
12
The preconfigured I/O address is 0200h and the default memory address
13
0D0000h, ALT-PIN feature on and 16 ports available.
14
 
15
Use them and you will not have to worry about configuring anything.
16
 
17
You can configure the driver via lilo. Have a look at the end of this
18
message. The default settings vanish as soon as you give a digi= commandline.
19
You can give multiple digi= commandline parameters to define multiple
20
boards.

-----------------
24
Some tools and more detailed information can be found at

26
 
27
WARNING: Most of the stuff available right now uses the WRONG Major Device
28
numbers and the wrong call out devices. Be careful and check them first.
29
Better not use any of the software in that directory if you run a recent
30
1.3.X Kernel or later!
31
 
32
The "ditty" tool described in the Digiboard Manuals for other Unixes
33
is also available.
34
 
35
Currently the Linux MAKEDEV command does not support generating the Digiboard
36
Devices. Use the following script to generate the devices:
37
 
38
------------------ mkdigidev begin
39
#!/bin/sh

Changes v1.5.5:
127
 
128
The ability to use the kernel's command line to pass in the configuration for
129
boards.  Using LILO's APPEND command, a string of comma separated identifiers
130
or integers can be used.  The 6 values in order are:
131
 
132
   Enable/Disable this card,
133
   Type of card: PC/Xi(0), PC/Xe(1), PC/Xeve(2), PC/Xem(3)
134
   Enable/Disable alternate pin arrangement,
135
   Number of ports on this card,
136
   I/O Port where card is configured (in HEX if using string identifiers),
137
   Base of memory window (in HEX if using string identifiers),
138
 
139
Samples:
140
   append="digi=E,PC/Xi,D,16,200,D0000"
141
   append="digi=1,0,0,16,512,(whatever D0000 is in base 10 :)
142
 
143
Driver's minor device numbers are conserved. This means that instead of
144
each board getting a block of 16 minors pre-assigned, it gets however
145
many it should, with the next card following directly behind it.  A
146
system with 4 2-port PC/Xi boards will use minor numbers 0-7.
147
This conserves some memory, and removes a few hard coded constants.
148
 
149
NOTE!! NOTE!! NOTE!!
150
The definition of PC/Xem as a valid board type is the BEGINNING of support
151
for this device.  The driver does not currently recognise the board, nor
152
does it want to initialize it.  At least not the EISA version.
