I am new to writing drivers....
While writing serial driver for modem ..i have implemented all the functionalities and ISR also...
But when i am testing it ,control is not going to ISR..
I came to know that i have to unmask ISR...
Currently i am using IRQ3....

Can any one tell me how to do this?

You send 11110111b (enable the COM2/4 only) to the 0x21 port.

Hi,

It is working fine.

I have one more problem while writing.

Now i am trying without interrupt.

So in write method i have read the MCR Value and Or with 0x01.

Then i am reading MSR value.

But i am always getting 0xFF only.

I want to check CTS bit of MSR and send the value.

Whether my way of doing is wrong.

Please let me know how to do this.

Regards

UUK
