NAME
dcons
- dumb console device driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
options GDBdevice firewiredevice dcons
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time,
place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
options GDB
and in
loader.conf5:
dcons_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The
device is a simple console device which just reads from and writes to
an allocated buffer for input and output respectively.
It is of no use by itself and it is supposed that the buffer is accessed
via a bus like
firewire(4)
or
kvm(3)
for interaction.
The buffer consists of 4 channels.
There are 2 ports, one for the console TTY and another is GDB port,
then each port has an input channel and an output channel.
FILES
/dev/dcons
/etc/ttys
EXAMPLES
If you want to run
getty(8)
on
,
insert the following line into
ttys(5)
and send a
HUP
signal to
init(8)
using
kill(1).
dcons "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
Once the
fwohci(4)
device is initialized to allow physical access,
the buffer can be accessed from another host via a
firewire(4)
bus using the
dconschat(8)
application.
See
dconschat(8)
for more details.
