SCC(4)

✨ scc(4) — the Kernel Interfaces Manual glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to scc(4), the Serial Communications Controller driver page. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

scc — the Serial Communications Controller driver. yeah. that's the whole vibe. iconic, brief, effective. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

device scc
device uart

two lines. that's it. that's the whole config moment. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the scc device driver is out here providing support for various classes of SCCs, and honestly? it's an umbrella driver, which means it does the big-picture delegation thing — it hands off control of each independent communication channel to its subordinate drivers. very main-character-manager energy. 👑

those subordinate drivers, like uart(4), are the ones actually taking care of the details of the communication itself. so scc is like the group-chat admin and uart(4) is the one actually replying to messages. teamwork. we love to see it. 🫶

💖 HARDWARE 💖

the scc driver supports the following classes of Serial Communications Controllers, no cap:

• QUICC — Freescale/NXP QUad Integrated Communications Controllers.
• Z8530 — Zilog 8530 based serial communications controllers.

two whole families of hardware. highkey impressive. 🔥

🌈 HISTORY 🌈

The scc device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0. a whole era. a whole moment in time. we respect the heritage. 🕰️
