Hi, |

I am trying to get a PCIe->RS232 adapter board to work. |

lspci states the following: |

As states by EXsys, the manufacturer of this EX-44092-2 card, it works |
| 42 |
under linux. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
When I try to receive data via that port, I only receive rubbish. I |
| 45 |
tried other configurations ((no)XON/XOFF, (no) hardware handshakeing, |
| 46 |
(no) parity and so on, different baudrates) beside those recommended |
| 47 |
by the manufacturerer of the board I want to connect to and receive |
| 48 |
data from. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
The PCIe->serial adapter board built with the Oxford OXuPCI952 |
| 51 |
chipset, which also is stated to work under linux by another source. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Interestingly it is recognized as quad RS232 board (second line |
| 54 |
of the output of lspci) by lspci (I updated pcidb in beforehand) |
| 55 |
but has only two ports. The datasheets of the Oxford OXuPCI952 |
| 56 |
talks also about two ports. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
What can I do to get this adapter board up and running? |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help! |

Have a nice sunday! |

Best regards, |
