Has anyone ever successfully installed a Serial PCMCIA card on QNX4.25?
This card inserts into a Type II PCMCIA socket and provides two standard
RS-232 serial ports.

Thanks!!!

Yes i’ve done it a while ago.

I manualy started a second instance of Dev.ser, providing the argument
(ioport,irq)
as displayed by the pin utility. This was just for a quick test which turn
out positive.

Thanks!!!

I too. However in my case it was crucial to launch Dev.ser with p option:

Dev.ser -N ser3 3e8,5,p &

(and before it, to erase “(width = 16)” from pcmcia.cards)

Thanks for the info.

The Dev.ser part isnt my problem, it’s getting QNX to recognize the PCMCIA card.
What card were you using? I’m trying to get a Sealevel PC-COMM+232 dual port
RS-232 Serial I/O adapter card to work. How did you get the PCMCIA drivers to
work with this card
under QNX4.25? pcmciatrap start always starts the Pcmcia.generic server but it’s
not working.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

My card was KINGMAX, I think (I haven’t it now).

It was running under QNX4.24, but hopefully also under QNX4.25

At first, your card cannot work if it is ‘CARDBUS’

At second, if it is not usual type you have to add output from

pin config

to /etc/config/pcmcia.cards
after first start of Pcmcia.generic
and sometimes (though it is strange) you have to
erase “(width=16)” from lines “config=…”

sometimes you need to play with interrupts in /etc/config/pcmcia.cfg

you have to get correct output from

pin

where cards are recognized and interrupts attached.

and then start it all like:

slay -f -Q Net.ether1000
slay -f -Q Net
slay -f -Q PcmciaBeep
slay -f -Q Pcmcia.generic
slay -f -Q PcmciaLaunch
sleep 1

Net &
Pcmcia.generic &
sleep 1
pin
PcmciaBeep &
PcmciaLaunch ‘0x601,Net.ether1000 -v -i$IRQ -p$IOPORT -A00A00C147C4F’ -R &
netmap -f
sleep 1
Dev.ser -N ser3 3e8,9,p &

(in this script, there are two cards: ethernet and serial)
