I configured BIOS so two ports shared IRQ5, and gave Linux kernel thoase
two ports with setserial:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e0, IRQ: 10
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 5
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS3, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 5
Using Minicom to send some bytes (sucessfully) out of port 0x02f8, IRQ5
/proc/interrupts shows one more interrupt every time I send a byte out the
port:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
5: 26 13 1 0 IO-APIC-edge serial
But if I subsequently take those ports away from kernel with setserial
(with no changes to BIOS) and load xeno_16550A like this:
modprobe xeno_16550A io=0x02e0,0x02f8,0x03f8,0x02e8 irq=10,5,4,5
baud_base=115200,115200,115200,115200
I get file descriptors when the ports are initialized:
successfully initialized serial device rtser1 (fd=12) [OK]
successfully initialized serial device rtser0 (fd=13) [OK]
successfully initialized serial device rtser2 (fd=14) [OK]
successfully initialized serial device rtser3 (fd=15) [OK]
But the ports which share IRQ5 can't communicate.
While the port on 0x03f8 IRQ4 can communicate successfully.
So sharing IRQ5 is not working, and there is no way in the BIOS for these
ports to share another interrupt.
