They're just a pile of 16554's (the BB2016, I assume you have).. I haven't used this configuration heavily, but others have, so I assume it works fine. > can you use two of them? I don't see why not. options "COM_MULTIPORT" #Shared IRQ support in sio device sio4 at isa? port 0x100 tty flags 0x1305 device sio5 at isa? port 0x108 tty flags 0x1305 device sio6 at isa? port 0x110 tty flags 0x1305 device sio7 at isa? port 0x118 tty flags 0x1305 device sio8 at isa? port 0x120 tty flags 0x1305 device sio9 at isa? port 0x128 tty flags 0x1305 device sio10 at isa? port 0x130 tty flags 0x1305 device sio11 at isa? port 0x138 tty flags 0x1305 device sio12 at isa? port 0x140 tty flags 0x1305 device sio13 at isa? port 0x148 tty flags 0x1305 device sio14 at isa? port 0x150 tty flags 0x1305 device sio15 at isa? port 0x158 tty flags 0x1305 device sio16 at isa? port 0x160 tty flags 0x1305 device sio17 at isa? port 0x168 tty flags 0x1305 device sio18 at isa? port 0x170 tty flags 0x1305 device sio19 at isa? port 0x178 tty flags 0x1305 irq 10 vector siointr is what I added to my kernel config for the board I do have. For the next 16, you would need something like device sio20 at isa? port 0x180 tty flags 0x1305 ..... device sio35 at isa? port 0x1f8 tty flags 0x2305 irq 12 vector siointr I am not sure that the board will allow you to configure for 0x180-0x1ff, but the gist of it is correct. Caveat: I believe that sio only has 5 bits reserved for minor numbers of serial ports. This (unfortunate!) limit means that the configuration I suggest won't quite work, because sio can only handle 32 ports total, not 36. You can get around this by removing the support for COM1-4, renumbering all the ports so that BB #1 is from 0-15 and BB #2 is from 16-31, and resetting the flags to "0x1005" and "0x2005" respectively.
