1. Change Logs

Version 3.00 <2004-11-29> 
	- Moved code from 2.4.x
Version 3.01 <2004-12-02> 
	- Fixed UNO-2050 function 1 offset typing error

	- Support UART types can be specified by each port to support

	- Support serial port ioctl TIOCGSERIAL to get serial port jumper
	  setting and store at reserved_char[0]. If value is zero, that

          struct serial_struct serinfo;
          // get serial port information
          serinfo.reserved_char[0] = 0;
          if (ioctl(fd, TIOCGSERIAL, &serinfo) < 0) {
              perror("Cannot get serial info");
              close(fd);
              return;

3. Installation

3.1. Login as 'root' before executing the following instructions.

3.2. Uncompress the driver
   # tar zxvf adv950_vM_NN.tar.gz

3.3. Build the driver
   a. Build driver for 2.4 kernel
      # cd adv950_vM_NN/2.4
      # make
   b. Build driver for 2.6 kernel
      # cd adv950_vM_NN/2.6
      # make
   Note: 
      To compile the source code, you must install kernel development header file package,"gcc" and "make" command.
      In 2.4 kernel version, you should use "ln" command to make a link named "linux-2.4" in /usr/src/, it link to you kernel development header installed folder.

	
3.4. Install the driver module
   # make install
   to see whether ttyAP0~ttyAP7 exist in /dev/ folder, 
   if not,please execute the following command, 
   # make node

3.5. Test driver and get serial port type configuration
   # make test

3.6. If you want the Linux bring up module at each boot,
   please follow the steps showing below
   a. Build driver 
   b. For 2.4 kernel, add "insmod /YOURLOCATION/adv950_vM_NN/2.4/adv950.o" to
      to boot up shell script.
   c. For 2.6 kernel, add "insmod /YOURLOCATION/adv950_vM_NN/2.6/adv950.ko" to
      to boot up shell script.  
   Fedora core 6 for example:
   add "insmod /YOURLOCATION/adv950_vM_NN/2.6/adv950.ko" to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

3.7. Uninstall the driver module and clean
   # make uninstall
   # make clean
