31.Sh NAME
32.Nm ntwoc
33.Nd Riscom/N2, N2pci, WANic 400 synchronous serial interfaces
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "ntwoc* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0"
36.Cd "ntwoc0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 5 iomem 0xc8000 flags 1"
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40device driver supports bit-synchronous serial communication using
41Cisco HDLC framing.
42The cards are capable of being driven by
43the line clock or from an internal baud rate generator.
44The devices all use the Hitachi hd64570 serial chip.
45The hd64570 supports 2 asynchronous/byte-synchronous/bit-synchronous
46serial ports, and has a 4-channel DMA controller for loading
47the serial port FIFOs.
48.Pp
49The ISA Riscom/N2 card has a jumper block to set the IRQ and a DIP switch
50to set the port address the card will use.
51The values programmed into the card must be specified with the
52.Cm port
53and
54.Cm irq
55locators in the kernel configuration line.
56The
57.Cm iomem
58locator must be specified and must occur on a 16k boundary.
59The driver uses a 16k region of io memory.
60Bit 0 of the
61.Cm flags
62locator indicates if there is a second serial port available on the
63card.
64.Pp
65Currently
66clock source and speed information is specified with the
67.Cm flags
68locator in the kernel configuration file.
69The flags field has the following format.
70.Bd -literal

75.Ed
76.Bl -tag -width "rxs0 rxs1"
77.It Va tmc
78Defines the timer constant.
79The base clock frequency is divided by
80.Va tmc
81to generate the main clock for receiving and sending.
82Further division is possible with the
83.Va tdiv
84and
85.Va rdiv
86divisor options.
87A value of 0 is treated as 256.
88.It Va tdiv
89Defines the transmit divisor as
90.Pf "2^(" Va tdiv ) .
91The internal transmit clock
92frequency is determined by dividing the base clock frequency by
93.Va tmc
94and then dividing by
95.Pf "2^(" Va tdiv ) .
96.It Va rdiv
97Defines the receive divisor as
98.Pf "2^(" Va rdiv ) .
99The internal receive clock
100frequency is determined by dividing the base clock frequency by
101.Va tmc
102and then dividing by
103.Pf "2^(" Va rdiv ) .
104.It Va e0 Va e1
105If true the internal clock source is used to drive the line clock for port 0
106or port 1 respectively.
107.It Va rxs0 Va rxs1
108Specifies which clock source to use for receiving data on port 0 and
109port 1 respectively.
110The following values are accepted:
111.Pp
112.Bl -tag -width "000" -compact
113.It 0
114Line clock.
115.It 1
116Line clock with noise suppression.
117.It 2
118Internal clock.
119.El
120.It Va txs0 Va txs1
121Specifies which clock source to use for transmitting data on port 0
122and port 1 respectively.
123The following values are accepted:
124.Pp
125.Bl -tag -width "000" -compact
126.It 0
127Line clock.
128.It 1
129Internal clock.
130.It 2
131Receive clock.
132.El
133.It Va np
134(For the ISA card only)
135A value of 1 indicates there is a second serial
136port present on the card.
137This is auto-detected on the PCI card and need not be specified.

152.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
153.Bl -diag
154.It "ntwoc0: TXDMA underrun - fifo depth maxed"
155Indicates that the serial port's FIFO is being drained faster
156than DMA can fill it.
157The driver automatically increases the low-water mark at which to
158begin DMA transfers when underruns occur.
159This diagnostic is issued when the low-water mark is
160maximized (i.e., 1 less than the depth of the FIFO).
161.It "ntwoc0: RXDMA buffer overflow"
162Indicates that a frame is being received by the card, but
163there are no free receive buffers.

170.Sh HISTORY
171The PCI driver first appeared in
172.Nx 1.4 .
173Much of the ISA driver was adapted from the
174.Fx
175.Nm sr
176driver and first appeared in
177.Nx 1.5 .
178.Sh BUGS
179Use of the
180.Cm flags
181locator for setting the clock sources and speeds should be replaced with
182ioctl's and a control program.
