# Using Zilog's SIO as a console
|
|
|
|
The RC2014 has an optional module called the Dual Serial Module SIO/2 which is
|
|
built around Zilog's SIO chip. This module is nice because when paired with the
|
|
Dual Clock Module and when using port B, it's possible to run a UART with a baud
|
|
rate lower than 115200.
|
|
|
|
Collapse OS has a driver for it (although for now, only port A is supported by
|
|
it). Let's use it.
|
|
|
|
## Gathering parts
|
|
|
|
* A "classic" RC2014
|
|
* A Dual Serial Module SIO/2
|
|
|
|
## Build the binary
|
|
|
|
You'll have to edit the base recipe's xcomp unit like we do in the sdcard
|
|
recipe.
|
|
|
|
* Locate RC2014 recipe in blkfs
|
|
* Locate SIO driver
|
|
* The driver main page gives you references for declarations and for code.
|
|
* In the base xcomp unit, replace ACIA declataions with SIO's
|
|
* Replace ACIA code with SIO's
|
|
* At the bottom, replace "ACIA$" with "SIO$".
|
|
|
|
You can build with `make`.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
After you've placed the binary on your RC2014's EEPROM, simply replace your
|
|
regular Serial Module with the Dual Serial Module and plug yourself into port A.
|
|
|
|
You should have a functional console.
