LINUX-RPM: TTY Devices Created by the Drivers
Device files corresponding to ports on the ISI card are created in
the /dev folder. Use ttyMxy for normal ports. Normal ports
(ttyM) are configured for dial-in connections.
In these expressions (ttyMxy), the letter x is the card number (1-
4), and y is the port designator (a, b, c, ...).
The ISI Linux driver creates the following TTY devices in /dev
directory:
- /dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1p for the first ISI card
- /dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2p for the second ISI card
- /dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3p for the third ISI card
- /dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM4p for the fourth ISI card
For the ISI5634PCI-4, it uses the following:
- /dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1d for the first card
- /dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2d for the second card
- /dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3d for the third card
- /dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM4d for the fourth card
