Hi…
There is a laptop with no serial port, and I wonder if anyone knows
about a PCMCIA card or other device compatible with QNX that could
provide serial port access to QNX. Thanks.
Regards…
Miguel.
The Mercury card for me works fine. Selfhosted and on XP.
cheers,
Peter

Socket Communications makes a serial port PCMCIA card that has worked well
for me under
QNX4, QNX6 as well as Windows. (UART 16550 compatible)

As a variant you may take a look at Lava Ether-Serial Links:
http://www.lavalink.com/index.php?id=56
There are drivers for Windows (except CE, AFAIK), Linux (kernel 2.4.x)
and QNX6. Driver provide all ordinary IOCTLs, but modem line
manipulations are not such time precise as with local port.

There are Ethernet to serial converters. QNX talks
to them via TCP. We use a Sealevel Systems unit for a
wierd device that needs a 500,000 baud serial port.
This is becoming a common way to deal with legacy
serial devices in industrial control environments.

Hi John…
This is an interesting choice that I had thought off as well. However,
do you know of a particular choice that you know works well? Thanks.
Regards…
Miguel.

Hi Dave…
Thanks. I will look into this as well. Do they have drivers for QNX, or
do you port or write your own drivers? Thanks again.
Regards…
Miguel.

CANbus uses a comport at 500k usually, I wouldn’t quite call it weird.

The Socket Communications cards that have true 16550 compatibility work with
the shipped QNX drivers for serial ports. You may need to pass the port and
irq to the driver depending on if the cards end up being configured at
standard serial port configurations or not.

Hi Dave…
I did get a Socket Communications card, and it works well. Thanks.
However, the card has two serial ports, but I can only use one of them.
I have tried several combinations to try to get both serial ports
working, but I have not been successful.
Should I mess with the enum file, or should I continue to try to set
things up with the command line?
I have tried the following:
pccard-launch ‘0x200,devc-ser8250 -b9600 -F 3f8,4 2f8,3’
where ‘0x200’ is the device type from ‘pin con’
I have tried starting the devp-pccard and then pccard-launch, but it
does not work, etc, etc. If you have any pointers on how to get the two
serial ports working, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Regards…
Miguel.
