C. Installation
	
	C.1 Driver install
		Please create a directory under root directory,  e.g /temp, do commands:

		# cd /
		# mkdir temp

		After get driver file "snx_Vx.x.x.x.tar.gz". Copy file to /temp
		directory, then extract and install, do commands:

		# cp snx_Vx.x.x.x.tar.gz /temp 
		# cd /temp
		# tar xvf snx_Vx.x.x.x.tar.gz
		# cd /temp/snx
		# make clean ; make install

		*************************************************************
		* If system is Suse 9.0 and errors occur when               *
		* "make clean ; make install", do commands:                 *
		*                                                           *
		* # cd /usr/src/linux/                                      *
		* # make cloneconfig                                        *
		* # make dep                                                * 
		*                                                           *
		* then do "make clean ; make install" again in /temp/snx    *
		*************************************************************

		Load driver module, do command:

		# modprobe snx
		or
		# insmod /temp/snx/driver/snx.ko (snx.o for kernel 2.4)


		Check driver module, do command:
		# lsmod | grep snx


		Unload driver, do command:
		# rmmod snx


	C.2 Device node creation 
		Each serial port has one device node which is named "ttySNX?",
		maximum up to 32 serial ports.
		
		Each parallel port has two device node which is name "lp?" and
		"parport?". This step will backup lp2~lp3 and parport2~parport3 
		to lp?.bak and parport?.bak in /dev for your system first. Then,
		create lp2~lp3 and parport2~parport3 in /dev for sunix driver,
		maximum up tp 2 parallel ports.
		
		This setp will be done when do "make clean ; make install", if
		device nodes aren't in /dev, do commands:
				
		# cd /temp/snx/snxmknod
		# ./snxmknod

		This will create device nodes in /dev.

		If there are more than two boards installed, serial port device
		nameing convention please refer to E1.

D. Loading driver automatic after system bootup

  	
	D.1 
	    After finish item C. Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local for loading driver 
	    automatic after system bootup. Use vi or other editor to open rc.local, 
	    and add "modprobe snx" in last line.


	D.2 
	    After finish item C.
	    Edit /etc/rc.d/boot.local for loading driver automatic after system bootup. 
	    Use vi or other	editor to open boot.local, and add "modprobe snx" in last line.
	    Edit /etc/rc.d/halt.lAfter finish item D. Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local for loading driver 
	    automatic after system bootup. Use vi or other editor to open rc.local, 
	    and add "modprobe snx" in last line.ocal for unloading driver when system halt. 
	    Use vi or other editor to open halt.local, and add "rmmod snx" in last line.
	    
	    
	D.3 
	    After finish item C. Edit /etc/init.d/rc.local for loading driver 
	    automatic after system bootup. Use vi or other editor to open rc.local, 
	    and add words as below in last line.

			mv /dev/lp2 /dev/lp2.bak
			mv /dev/lp3 /dev/lp3.bak
			mknod /dev/lp2 c 246 2
			mknod /dev/lp3 c 246 3
			chmod a+w /dev/lp2
			chmod a+w /dev/lp3
	
			mv /dev/parport2 /dev/parport2.bak
			mv /dev/parport3 /dev/parport3.bak
			mknod /dev/parport2 c 247 2
			mknod /dev/parport3 c 247 3
			chmod a+w /dev/parport2
			chmod a+w /dev/parport3
				
			modprobe snx

		
	D.4 
	    After finish item C. Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local for loading driver 
	    automatic after system bootup. Use vi or other editor to open rc.local, 
	    and add words as below in last lien. 

			
			mv /dev/lp2 /dev/lp2.bak
			mv /dev/lp3 /dev/lp3.bak
			mknod /dev/lp2 c 246 2

			mknod /dev/parport2 c 247 2
			mknod /dev/parport3 c 247 3
		
			modprobe snx
		
		
	D.5 
	    In general, other distributions will loading driver automatic after system bootup.		
	    If it doesn't, please refer to item D.1 or D.2. or D.3 or D.4
				
				
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E. Utility

	E1. snxdump - dump port informations, do command:

		# snxdump

		the informations should be like this

		================ Found  2 SUNIX port , list informations ====================
        		                                     SUNIX driver ver -- 2.0.0.0

		ttySNX0 --
		SUNIX 5037 Series (bus:2 device: 1) , base address = a000,    irq = 21

		ttySNX1 --
		SUNIX 5037 Series (bus:2 device: 1) , base address = a008,    irq = 21
		

		=============================================================================


		In this case, 

		Driver version is 2.0.0.0

		ttySNX0 is the 1st serial port on sunix 5037 series board, 
		base address is 0xa000 and irq is 21.

		ttySNX1 is the 2nd serial port on sunix 5037 series board, 
		base address is 0xa008 and irq is 21.		

		bus:2 means the bus number of board is 2.
		
		device:1 means the device number of board is 1.


		If no information print on screen. Make sure the device node
		exist in /dev and driver module loaded.
		
		
	E2. snxterm - dumb terminal for test tty device node data transmitting and receiving
		      , do command:

		# snxterm
