+
+1. INTRODUCTION
+
+   EIA-485, also known as TIA/EIA-485 or RS-485, is a standard defining the
+   electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in balanced
+   digital multipoint systems.
+   This standard is widely used for communications in industrial automation
+   because it can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically
+   noisy environments.
+
+2. HARDWARE-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS
+
+   Some CPUs/UARTs (e.g., Atmel AT91 or 16C950 UART) contain a built-in
+   half-duplex mode capable of automatically controlling line direction by
+   toggling RTS or DTR signals. That can be used to control external
+   half-duplex hardware like an RS485 transceiver or any RS232-connected
+   half-duplex devices like some modems.
+
+   For these microcontrollers, the Linux driver should be made capable of
+   working in both modes, and proper ioctls (see later) should be made
+   available at user-level to allow switching from one mode to the other, and
+   vice versa.
+
+3. DATA STRUCTURES ALREADY AVAILABLE IN THE KERNEL
+
+   The Linux kernel provides the serial_rs485 structure (see [1]) to handle
+   RS485 communications. This data structure is used to set and configure RS485
+   parameters in the platform data and in ioctls.
+
+   Any driver for devices capable of working both as RS232 and RS485 should
+   provide at least the following ioctls:
+
+    - TIOCSRS485 (typically associated with number 0x542F). This ioctl is used
+      to enable/disable RS485 mode from user-space
+
+    - TIOCGRS485 (typically associated with number 0x542E). This ioctl is used
+      to get RS485 mode from kernel-space (i.e., driver) to user-space.
+
+   In other words, the serial driver should contain a code similar to the next
+   one:
+
+	static struct uart_ops atmel_pops = {
+		/* ... */
+		.ioctl		= handle_ioctl,
+	};
+
+	static int handle_ioctl(struct uart_port *port,
+		unsigned int cmd,
+		unsigned long arg)
+	{
+		struct serial_rs485 rs485conf;
+
+		switch (cmd) {
+		case TIOCSRS485:
+			if (copy_from_user(&rs485conf,
+				(struct serial_rs485 *) arg,
+				sizeof(rs485conf)))
+					return -EFAULT;
+
+			/* ... */
+			break;
+
+		case TIOCGRS485:
+			if (copy_to_user((struct serial_rs485 *) arg,
+				...,
+				sizeof(rs485conf)))
+					return -EFAULT;
+			/* ... */
+			break;
+
+		/* ... */
+		}
+	}
+
+
+4. USAGE FROM USER-LEVEL
+
+   From user-level, RS485 configuration can be get/set using the previous
+   ioctls. For instance, to set RS485 you can use the following code:
+
+	#include <linux/serial.h>
+
+	/* Driver-specific ioctls: */
+	#define TIOCGRS485      0x542E
+	#define TIOCSRS485      0x542F
+
+	/* Open your specific device (e.g., /dev/mydevice): */
+	int fd = open ("/dev/mydevice", O_RDWR);
+	if (fd < 0) {
+		/* Error handling. See errno. */
+	}
+
+	struct serial_rs485 rs485conf;
+
+	/* Set RS485 mode: */
+	rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_ENABLED;
+
+	/* Set rts delay before send, if needed: */
+	rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_RTS_BEFORE_SEND;
+	rs485conf.delay_rts_before_send = ...;
+
+	/* Set rts delay after send, if needed: */
+	rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND;
+	rs485conf.delay_rts_after_send = ...;
+
+	if (ioctl (fd, TIOCSRS485, &rs485conf) < 0) {
+		/* Error handling. See errno. */
+	}
+
+	/* Use read() and write() syscalls here... */
+
+	/* Close the device when finished: */
+	if (close (fd) < 0) {
+		/* Error handling. See errno. */
+	}
