50 is used to download the firmware code to Stallion Technologies intelligent
51 multiport serial boards.
52 A firmware download is only required for those boards that use the Stallion
55 This includes the EasyConnection 8/64, ONboard and Brumby families of boards.
57 Different board types require different firmware images.
58 If the wrong firmware is loaded into a board it will fail to operate.
60 The Stallion EasyConnection 8/64 Host Adapter PCI cards DO NOT require
61 firmware to be loaded.
63 The download process is achieved through the Stallion
65 driver control device,
67 This device implements a file type device that can read and write into the
68 boards shared memory region.
69 It also implements a number of special

91 and start up the board.
94 .It Fl r Ar rx-buf-size
95 Specify the size of the boards shared memory Receive Data buffer.
96 By default the buffer is dynamically sized to use the maximum
97 available shared memory.
98 .It Fl t Ar tx-buf-size
99 Specify the size of the boards shared memory Transmit Data buffer.

103 Enable the slave debug trace flag during download.
104 This enables debug trace output from the firmware code.
105 This trace is output on port 0 of the board,
106 and the port is set to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
