Software Drivers

The 8-Channel Serial CCPMC interface is compatible with the industry-standard 16550 UART. As such, no specific driver is required for most Operating Systems. VxWorks source code to locate the device in PCI space and obtain a pointer to the UART is supplied as an example

- VxWorks 5.x, 6.x, Linux, Windows 2000, XP, Vista
