38.Dt ZSTTY 4
39.Os
40.Sh NAME
41.Nm zstty
42.Nd
43serial communications interface
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "zstty* at zs0"  Pq sparc
46.Cd "zstty* at zsc1" Pq others
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50driver provides TTY support for Zilog 8530 Dual UARTS.
51.Pp
52Input and output for each line may set to any baud rate in the
53range 50 to 38400 (and higher on some machines).
54.Sh FILES
55.Bl -tag -width Pa
56.It Pa /dev/ttya
57.It Pa /dev/ttyb
58.El
59.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
60.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
61.It zs0*: fifo overflow
62.br
63The on-chip
64.Dq fifo
65has overflowed and incoming data has been lost.
66This generally means the machine is not responding to
67interrupts from the ZS chip fast enough, which can be
68remedied only by using a lower baud rate.
69.It zs0*: ring overflow
70.br
71The software input
72.Dq ring
73has overflowed.  This usually means input flow-control
74is not configured correctly (i.e. incorrect cable wiring).
75.El
76.Sh SEE ALSO
77.Xr scc 4 ,
78.Xr tty 4
79.Sh HISTORY
80The
81.Nm
82driver was derived from the
83.Nm sparc
84.Nm zs
85driver supplied with
86.Bx 4.4 .
87.Ud
88.Sh BUGS
89The old Zilog 8530 chip has a very small fifo (3 bytes?) and
90therefore has very strict latency requirements for the
91interrupt service routine.  This limits the usable baud rates
92on many machines.
