After installing a Syba SY-PCI15001 card and the latest driver from MOSCHIP I now have an additional 6 serial ports. However, two of the new ports show up as ttyD, and are apparently not recognized by LinuxMCE. Is there a way around this?
js@dcerouter:~/MCS9865_V1.0.0.11$ setserial -g /dev/tty[SD]*
/dev/ttyD0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xdc00, IRQ: 19
/dev/ttyD1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xd880, IRQ: 18
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS1, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS4, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xd800, IRQ: 16
/dev/ttyS5, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xd480, IRQ: 16
/dev/ttyS6, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xd400, IRQ: 16
/dev/ttyS7, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xd080, IRQ: 16
I can use S0 (motherboard) and S4-S7 from the Syba card. The ttyD ports do not show up in the wizard when I install my Denon amp. S1-S3 are legacy addresses, I think, from the time when motherboards had many built-in serial ports. I tried to rename D0 to S2 using setserial. S2 subsequently appeared as a choice in the wizard, but it would not work. After this failure, I tried to reconnect on S0 using web admin (select S0, save, reload router). This did not work, nor would any of my other good ports until I deleted the device (AVR2310) and reinstalled to S0 using the wizard. After doing this, I could again use the web admin method to easily change between all my working ports.
By the way, I tested all the 6 ports on the card (including ttyD0 and D1) using minicom to talk with another computer through a null cable. Everything checked out fine.
Any insights are appreciated,
John
