- A. Release note
- Support kernel 2.4, 2.6 and 3.0 on x86 machine only. Distributions test refer to item C.
- Before driver installation. Make sure system with c compiler and kernel development
- package.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- B. Introduction
- Maximum 2 boards can be installed in combination(up to 64 serial port),
- support wch multi i/o boards as list below.
- (S - serial port)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- C. Distributions test
- Driver tested with distributions as list.

- D. Installation
- D.1 Driver install
- Please create a directory under root directory, e.g /temp, do commands:
- # cd /
- # mkdir temp
- After get driver file "wch_vx.x.x.x.tar.gz". Copy file to /temp
- directory, then extract and install, do commands:
- # cp wch_vx.x.x.x.tar.gz /temp
- # cd /temp
- # tar xvfz wch_vx.x.x.x.tar.gz
- # cd /temp/wch
- # make clean ; make install
- *************************************************************
- * If system is Suse 9.0 and errors occur when *
- * "make clean ; make install", do commands: *
- * *
- * # cd /usr/src/linux/ *
- * # make cloneconfig *
- * # make dep *
- * *
- * then do "make clean ; make install" again in /temp/wch *
- *************************************************************
- Load driver module, do command:
- # modprobe wch
- or
- # insmod /temp/wch/driver/wch.ko (wch.o for kernel 2.4)
- Check driver module, do command:
- # lsmod | grep wch
- Unload driver, do command:
- # rmmod wch
- D.2 Device node creation
- Each serial port has one device node which is named "ttyWCH?",
- maximum up to 256 serial ports.
- This setp will be done when do "make clean ; make install", if
- device nodes aren't in /dev, do commands:
- # cd /temp/wch/wchmknod
- # ./wchmknod
- This will create device nodes in /dev.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- E. Loading driver automatic after system bootup
- E.1
- After finish item D. Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local for loading driver
- automatic after system bootup. Use vi or other editor to open rc.local,
- and add "modprobe wch" in last line.
- E.2
- After finish item D.
- Edit /etc/rc.d/boot.local for loading driver automatic after system bootup.
- Use vi or other editor to open boot.local, and add "modprobe wch" in last line.
- Edit /etc/rc.d/halt.lAfter finish item D. Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local for loading driver
- automatic after system bootup. Use vi or other editor to open rc.local,
- and add "modprobe wch" in last line.ocal for unloading driver when system halt.
- Use vi or other editor to open halt.local, and add "rmmod wch" in last line.
- E.3
- After finish item D. Edit /etc/init.d/rc.local for loading driver
- automatic after system bootup. Use vi or other editor to open rc.local,
- and add words as below in last line.
- modprobe wch
- E.4
- After finish item D. Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local for loading driver
- automatic after system bootup. Use vi or other editor to open rc.local,

- In general, other distributions will loading driver automatic after system bootup.
- If it doesn't, please refer to item E.1 or E.2. or E.3 or E.4

- F. Utility
- F1. wchdump - dump port informations, do command:
- # wchdump
- the informations should be like this
- ================ Found 8 WCH port , list informations ====================
- WCH driver ver -- 2.0.0.0
- ttyWCH0 --
- WCH CH358_8S Series (bus:1 device: 9) , base address = 9000, irq = 169
- ttyWCH1 --
- WCH CH358_8S Series (bus:1 device: 9) , base address = 9400, irq = 169
- ttyWCH2 --
- WCH CH358_8S Series (bus:1 device: 9) , base address = 9800, irq = 169
- ttyWCH3 --
- WCH CH358_8S Series (bus:1 device: 9) , base address = 9c00, irq = 169
- ttyWCH4 --
- WCH CH358_8S Series (bus:1 device: 9) , base address = 9008, irq = 169
- ttyWCH5 --
- WCH CH358_8S Series (bus:1 device: 9) , base address = 9408, irq = 169
- ttyWCH6 --
- WCH CH358_8S Series (bus:1 device: 9) , base address = 9808, irq = 169
- ttyWCH7 --
- WCH CH358_8S Series (bus:1 device: 9) , base address = 9c08, irq = 169
- =============================================================================
- In this case,
- Driver version is 2.0.0.0
- ttyWCH0 is the 1st serial port on wch CH358_8S series board,
- base address is 0x9000 and irq is 169.
- ttyWCH1 is the 2nd serial port on wch CH358_8S series board,
- base address is 0x9400 and irq is 169.
- ttyWCH2 is the 3rd serial port on wch CH358_8S series board,
- base address is 0x9800 and irq is 169.
- ttyWCH3 is the 4th serial port on wch CH358_8S series board,
- base address is 0x9C00 and irq is 169.
- ttyWCH4 is the 5th serial port on wch CH358_8S series board,
- base address is 0x9008 and irq is 169.
- ttyWCH5 is the 6th serial port on wch CH358_8S series board,
- base address is 0x9408 and irq is 169.
- ttyWCH6 is the 7th serial port on wch CH358_8S series board,
- base address is 0x9808 and irq is 169.
- ttyWCH7 is the 8th serial port on wch CH358_8S series board,
- base address is 0x9C08 and irq is 169.
- bus:1 means the bus number of board is 1.
- device:9 means the device number of board is 9.
- If no information print on screen. Make sure the device node
- exist in /dev and driver module loaded.
- F2. wchterm - dumb terminal for test tty device node data transmitting and receiving, do command:
- # wchterm
