32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm uchcom
35.Nd WinChipHead CH341/CH340 serial adapter driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37To compile this driver into the kernel,
38place the following lines in your
39kernel configuration file:
40.Bd -ragged -offset indent
41.Cd "device usb"
42.Cd "device ucom"
43.Cd "device uchcom"
44.Ed
45.Pp
46Alternatively, to load the driver as a
47module at boot time, place the following line in
48.Xr loader.conf 5 :
49.Bd -literal -offset indent
50uchcom_load="YES"
51.Ed
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53The
54.Nm
55driver provides support for the WinChipHead CH341/CH340 USB-to-RS-232
56Bridge chip.
57.Pp
58The device is accessed through the
59.Xr ucom 4
60driver which makes it behave like a
61.Xr tty 4 .
62.Sh HARDWARE
63The
64.Nm
65driver supports the following adapters:
66.Pp
67.Bl -bullet -compact
68.It
69HL USB-RS232
70.El
71.Sh FILES
72.Bl -tag -width "/dev/ttyU*.init" -compact
73.It Pa /dev/ttyU*
74for callin ports
75.It Pa /dev/ttyU*.init
76.It Pa /dev/ttyU*.lock
77corresponding callin initial-state and lock-state devices
78.Pp
79.It Pa /dev/cuaU*
80for callout ports
81.It Pa /dev/cuaU*.init
82.It Pa /dev/cuaU*.lock
83corresponding callout initial-state and lock-state devices
84.El
85.Sh SEE ALSO
86.Xr tty 4 ,
87.Xr ucom 4 ,
88.Xr usb 4
89.Sh HISTORY
90The
91.Nm
92driver first appeared in
93.Nx .
94The first
95.Fx
96release to include it was
97.Fx 8.0 .
98.Sh BUGS
99Actually, this chip seems unable to drive other than 8 data bits and
1001 stop bit line.
