DESCRIPTION

The ucycom driver provides support for the Cypress CY7C63743 and CY7C64013 bridge chips. These chips were designed to provide a low-cost transition path to USB for existing RS232 devices, and have fairly limited capabilities.

The ucycom driver behaves like a tty(4).

HARDWARE

The ucycom driver currently supports the following devices which incorporate Cypress USB to RS232 bridge chips:

FILES

/dev/ttyU* for callin ports
/dev/ttyU*.init
/dev/ttyU*.lock
  corresponding callin initial-state and lock-state devices

/dev/cuaU* for callout ports
/dev/cuaU*.init
/dev/cuaU*.lock
  corresponding callout initial-state and lock-state devices

SEE ALSO

“ Like a classics radio station whose play list spans decades, Unix simultaneously exhibits its mixed and dated heritage. There's Clash-era graphics interfaces; Beatles-era two-letter command names; and systems programs (for example, ps) whose terse and obscure output was designed for slow teletypes; Bing Crosby-era command editing (# and @ are still the default line editing commands), and Scott Joplin-era core dumps. ”
