I hate to send serial port questions to this group, but the scope of
knowledge represented by the subscribers is just too darn attractive to
ignore.
Anyways, here's my problem. We have a nice new shiny ONYX2 box in our
lab :-) and are trying to drive several serial devices from the four
serial ports. We are using well known serial devices that have a hsitory
of behaving well but are experiencing an inconsistency between the four
ports. The devices work properly when attached to /dev/ttyd1 and
/dev/ttyd2 but display garbage when connected to /dev/ttyd3 or
/dev/ttyd4. I have checked the "/etc/inittab" file and all four ports
are configured identically (well, actually port 1 is configured as a
console, but with respawn turned "off" - and it works, so I won't
complain). In addition, we have tried connecting the same devices to an
Octane (which, upon examination of the "/etc/inittab" file has the same
settings as the ONYX2) and they don't work there either! I get the same
gobbledy-gook on ports 1 & 2 on the Octane as I do on ports 3 &4 on the
ONYX2.
Ultimately, we would like to drive these devices from an Octane, but have
been using the ONYX2, since ports 1 & 2 seem to give us the only workable
option thus far.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Murray.
