PER-C40C Quick Installation Guide

Notice

This guide is designed for experienced users to setup the

system in the shortest time.

Safety Precautions

Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working
on it. Do not make connections while the
power is on, because a sudden rush of power
can damage sensitive electronic
components.

Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap
at all times. Place all electronic components
on a static-dissipative surface or in a
static-shielded bag when they are not in the
chassis

you don’t need to install the driver just process the Mini PCI RS-232
module set up in Linux

Installing Mini PCI RS-232 drivers in Windows XP

Once the card is installed and the computer is restarted, Windows
will detect the board and attempt to load the drivers for it.

1. Windows will detect a “PCI Serial Port”. Select “Install

4-port Mini PCI module will show 4 AAEON PCI

Communications Port and 2-port Mini PCI module will show 2

AAEON PCI Communications Port as the figure 4 shows 4

ports Mini PCI module

Mini-PCI RS-232 module set up in Linux

If the module is a 4-port Mini PCI, you don’t need to proceed with the

set up process, you can use it directly.

2-port Mini PCI module

please use following the sequence below to set up the module.

1. Open

the

Termina

l screen and make a

cat /proc/tty6/driver/serial

command to check your

COM port settings.

M i n i P C I M o d u l e

P E R - C 4 0 C

PER-C40C Quick Installation Guide

As the screen showing, use 16550A to be UART prefix is

the system COM ports, and we can see this system have

2 COM ports, leave each other ttyS0, ttyS1.

2. Make

lspci -v

command to find OXmPCI952 IRQ and I/O

address

As the screen showing, we can find ”Serial controller:

Oxford Semiconductor Ltd:” this alphabetic string then to

see the next line have IRQ number and the next have

I/O address

3. Open the file:

/etc/rc.local

and add two commands

setserial /dev/ttySX1 port IOADDR1 irq Y uart 16950 baud_base 115200

setserial /dev/ttySX2 port IOADDR2 irq Y uart 16950 baud_base 115200

M i n i P C I M o d u l e

P E R - C 4 0 C

PER-C40C Quick Installation Guide

In above command line

X1,X2

is the COM port number

and it must be beyond beforehand. So in this case X1 is 4,

X2 is 5. Besides,

is IRQ number . Finally, we can set the

I/O address individually.

setserial /dev/ttyS4 port 0xe000 irq 9 uart 16950 baud_base 115200

setserial /dev/ttyS5 port 0xe100 irq 9 uart 16950 baud_base 115200

Please re-start your computer.

5. Make

cat /proc/tty/driver/serial

command to see if the

display is as following, if yes you already set it up.
