Serieports kort, som inte dyker upp automagiskt i Ubuntu Server. Man kan se kortet med ”lspci”:

Men det dyker inte upp några device, /dev/ttySxxx. Den nedan är redan befintliga serieportar, två stycken på moderkort och två på annat externt PCI kort.

För att enabla fler portar i kärnan krävs att man ger en boot option, 8250.nr_uarts=16. Editera menus.lst för grub:

# kopt=root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ro 8250.nr_uarts=16

Observera att # ska vara kvar. Man ska nu se flera ttySxxx under /dev

Använd setserial för att aktivera portarna:

 sudo setserial /dev/ttyS9 port 0x24c0 UART 16550A irq 10 Baud_base 115200

Dessa portar är använda.

01:01.2 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9865 Multi-I/O Controller
      Subsystem: Device a000:3002
      Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10
      I/O ports at 24d8 [size=8]

Ändra till manuell konfigurering:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure setserial

Editera /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf med följande:

/dev/ttyS0 uart 16550A port 0x03f8 irq 4 baud_base 115200 spd_normal skip_test
/dev/ttyS1 uart 16550A port 0x02f8 irq 3 baud_base 115200 spd_normal skip_test

/dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A port 0x24c0 irq 5 baud_base 115200 spd_normal skip_test

/dev/ttyS7 uart 16550A port 0x2488 irq 5 baud_base 921600 spd_normal skip_test

Kopiera /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf till serial.conf

sudo cp /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf /etc/serial.conf
