How to use Multiport Serial Cards in QNX4.25?

I use 4 port serial card.

But I do not know how to setup this device using “Dev.ser”.

I want to asynchronous communication using interrupt or event.
Previously, I used interrupt and interrupt handler using PC common serial
port(3F8, 2F8).

But multi-port serial card, I can not detect interrupt and communicate
binary mode.

  1. What can I do for asynchronous serial communication in multi-port serial
    card ?
  2. Could I get source code of Dev.ser ?

Short answer is, if the 4 port card is essentially a “dumb” card, then
Dev.ser should work on it. I use the Connect-Tech 4-port D-Flex card.
Just specify the port addresses, followed by a comma and the interrupt
number. I.E.
Dev.ser 240,5 248,5 250,5 258,5 &

If the card is a “smart” card, then you will need a driver from the
manufacturer, (or someone who can write a driver for it).

Connect Tech D-Flex card is a ISA card. There is difficult find new computers with
ISA slots.
Usual new machines are equiped with only PCI slots. Does anybody know a normal,
“cheap” PCI multiport card
with QNX4.25 drivers?

I’ve been using Rocketport PCI boards for years, and have had good luck.
They support QNX 4.25, but I don’t think they do Neutrino, at least last
time I checked. http://www.comtrol.com

We are using ExSys cards, for QNX4 and Neutrino. (http://www.exsys.ch)

Works with Dev32.ser, I made a little ‘wrapper’ that detects them and then
launches Dev32.ser with the apropriate arguments … just a quick hack,
but it works.

HTH,

That was just an example.

I do believe that they make dumb PCI cards.

At least they make PCI cards with QNX4.25 drivers. We have used Blue Heat,

if they are “cheap” I don’t know.

It is a bit out of date, but:
