21 config SERIAL_AMBA_PL010
22 tristate "ARM AMBA PL010 serial port support"
23 depends on ARM_AMBA && (BROKEN || !ARCH_VERSATILE)
26 This selects the ARM(R) AMBA(R) PrimeCell PL010 UART. If you have
27 an Integrator/AP or Integrator/PP2 platform, or if you have a
28 Cirrus Logic EP93xx CPU, say Y or M here.

76 tristate "BCM1xxx on-chip DUART serial support"
77 depends on SIBYTE_SB1xxx_SOC=y
81 Support for the asynchronous serial interface (DUART) included in
82 the BCM1250 and derived System-On-a-Chip (SOC) devices. Note that
83 the letter D in DUART stands for "dual", which is how the device
84 is implemented. Depending on the SOC configuration there may be
85 one or more DUARTs available of which all are handled.
87 If unsure, say Y. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
88 the module will be called sb1250-duart.

91 bool "Support for console on a BCM1xxx DUART serial port"
92 depends on SERIAL_SB1250_DUART=y

98 kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user

113 depends on SERIAL_ATMEL=y
114 select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
116 Say Y here if you wish to use an on-chip UART on a Atmel
117 AT91 or AT32 processor as the system console (the system
118 console is the device which receives all kernel messages and
119 warnings and which allows logins in single user mode).
121 config SERIAL_ATMEL_PDC
122 bool "Support DMA transfers on AT91 / AT32 serial port"
123 depends on SERIAL_ATMEL
126 Say Y here if you wish to use the PDC to do DMA transfers to
127 and from the Atmel AT91 / AT32 serial port. In order to
128 actually use DMA transfers, make sure that the use_dma_tx
129 and use_dma_rx members in the atmel_uart_data struct is set
130 appropriately for each port.
132 Note that break and error handling currently doesn't work
133 properly when DMA is enabled. Make sure that ports where
134 this matters don't use DMA.
136 config SERIAL_ATMEL_TTYAT
137 bool "Install as device ttyATn instead of ttySn"
138 depends on SERIAL_ATMEL=y
140 Say Y here if you wish to have the internal AT91 / AT32 UARTs
141 appear as /dev/ttyATn (major 204, minor starting at 154)
142 instead of the normal /dev/ttySn (major 4, minor starting at
143 64). This is necessary if you also want other UARTs, such as
144 external 8250/16C550 compatible UARTs.
145 The ttySn nodes are legally reserved for the 8250 serial driver
146 but are often misused by other serial drivers.
148 To use this, you should create suitable ttyATn device nodes in
149 /dev/, and pass "console=ttyATn" to the kernel.
151 Say Y if you have an external 8250/16C550 UART. If unsure, say N.
153 config SERIAL_KGDB_NMI
154 bool "Serial console over KGDB NMI debugger port"
155 depends on KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE
157 This special driver allows you to temporary use NMI debugger port
158 as a normal console (assuming that the port is attached to KGDB).
160 Unlike KDB's disable_nmi command, with this driver you are always
161 able to go back to the debugger using KGDB escape sequence ($3#33).
162 This is because this console driver processes the input in NMI
163 context, and thus is able to intercept the magic sequence.
165 Note that since the console interprets input and uses polling
166 communication methods, for things like PPP you still must fully
167 detach debugger port from the KGDB NMI (i.e. disable_nmi), and

286 providing /dev/ttyTHS0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 (note, some machines may not

826 The pmac_zilog driver for the z85C30 chip on many powermacs
827 historically used the device numbers for /dev/ttySn. The

830 both z85C30 and 8250 type ports at the same time.
832 If this option is not selected, the pmac_zilog driver will

834 the pmac_zilog and 8250 drivers to co-exist, but may cause
835 existing userspace setups to break. Programs that need to
836 access the built-in serial ports on powermacs will need to
837 be reconfigured to use /dev/ttyPZn instead of /dev/ttySn.

1465 tristate "Comtrol RocketPort EXPRESS/INFINITY support"
1469 This driver supports the Comtrol RocketPort EXPRESS and
1470 RocketPort INFINITY families of PCI/PCIe multiport serial adapters.
1471 These adapters use a "RocketPort 2" ASIC that is not compatible
1472 with the original RocketPort driver (CONFIG_ROCKETPORT).
1474 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1475 module will be called rp2.
1477 If you want to compile this driver into the kernel, say Y here. If
1478 you don't have a suitable RocketPort card installed, say N.
1480 config SERIAL_RP2_NR_UARTS
1481 int "Maximum number of RocketPort EXPRESS/INFINITY ports"
1482 depends on SERIAL_RP2
1485 If multiple cards are present, the default limit of 32 ports may
1486 need to be increased.
1488 config SERIAL_FSL_LPUART
1489 tristate "Freescale lpuart serial port support"
1492 Support for the on-chip lpuart on some Freescale SOCs.
1494 config SERIAL_FSL_LPUART_CONSOLE
1495 bool "Console on Freescale lpuart serial port"
1496 depends on SERIAL_FSL_LPUART=y
1497 select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
1499 If you have enabled the lpuart serial port on the Freescale SoCs,
1500 you can make it the console by answering Y to this option.
1502 config SERIAL_ST_ASC
1503 tristate "ST ASC serial port support"
1505 depends on ARM || COMPILE_TEST
1507 This driver is for the on-chip Asychronous Serial Controller on
1508 STMicroelectronics STi SoCs.
1509 ASC is embedded in ST COMMS IP block. It supports Rx & Tx functionality.
1510 It support all industry standard baud rates.
1514 config SERIAL_ST_ASC_CONSOLE
1515 bool "Support for console on ST ASC"
1516 depends on SERIAL_ST_ASC=y
1517 select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
1519 config SERIAL_MEN_Z135
1520 tristate "MEN 16z135 Support"
1523 Say yes here to enable support for the MEN 16z135 High Speed UART IP-Core
1526 This driver can also be build as a module. If so, the module will be called
