Subject: [PATCH 20/36] RS485 documentation: add 16C950 UART description
Date: Thu,  6 Jan 2011 14:23:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1294352605-31906-20-git-send-email-gregkh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110106215404.GA30624@kroah.com>

From: Yegor Yefremov <yegor_sub1@visionsystems.de>

Add a notion about 16C950 UART, that is using DTR signal for RS485 mode.

 2. HARDWARE-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS
 
-   Some CPUs (e.g., Atmel AT91) contain a built-in half-duplex mode capable of
-   automatically controlling line direction by toggling RTS. That can used to
-   control external half-duplex hardware like an RS485 transceiver or any
-   RS232-connected half-duplex device like some modems.
+   Some CPUs/UARTs (e.g., Atmel AT91 or 16C950 UART) contain a built-in

    For these microcontrollers, the Linux driver should be made capable of
    working in both modes, and proper ioctls (see later) should be made
