    problem with uart driver

    i have written a minimal uart driver for 2.6 kernel (code attached). it doesnot provide any operations like baudrate ,data format settings .

    it chooses a fixed baud rate and data format during module initilization.it doesnot perform any flow control. it is for small data transfer over loop back null modem serial connection

    1)Now the problem that i am facing is even though i have chosen 8 bytes from 0x3f8(uart register address) as my port address and the request for this region doesnot show any error. but when i try writing to the associated /dev/myuart node i get a read/write error. (i hav also changed permissions of node to 666).

    when i checked /proc/ioports that address is registered for some module called "serial".

    but when i do a lsmod i dont find any node named serial!

    am i missing something crucial??

    2) Another help that i require is how do i utilize all the functions that my uart provide through the device node??
    i mean i want to know the corresponding userspace functions for my uart functions.

    serial fix

    hi you are right the next step that you must to do is disable serial drivers /dev/ttyS0 y /dev/ttyS1. You can use setserial program for doing this.
