I haven't tried it yet (it wasn't available by anonymous CVS last time I
checked, around noon EDT), but this change might improve things:
----------
Module Name: syssrc
Committed By: wdk
Date: Mon Jun 25 08:30:12 UTC 2001
Modified Files:
syssrc/sys/dev/ic: z8530sc.c
Log Message:
Don't reprogram SCC registers unless the values have changed.
Some CMOS Z85C30 SCC's (as used in the SGI Indy and Mips Magnum 3000's)
reset the baud rate generator when a new prescaler is loaded - despite
what is documented in the datasheet.
Avoids "character glitch" problems when line discipline characteristics
are changed at the start of the login process, or during a ftp session
on the /dev/console device.
Tested on -sgimips, -mipsco and -alpha platforms
To generate a diff of this commit:
