Kernel Interfaces Manual ✨ okay so this is the uvscom man page, and it's literally about USB support for SUNTAC Slipper U VS-10U serial adapters, no cap πŸ¦‹


🌸 NAME 🌸

uvscom β€” USB support for the SUNTAC Slipper U VS-10U serial adapters driver πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so if you wanna compile this driver into the kernel, you gotta drop these lines into your kernel configuration file, periodt:

device usb
device ucom
device uvscom

and alternatively?? if you'd rather load the driver as a module at boot time (which is giving low-effort main character energy tbh), you put this line in loader.conf(5):

uvscom_load="YES"

πŸŽ€ HARDWARE πŸŽ€

the uvscom driver supports these adapters, bestie, write them down:

  • DDI Pocket Air H" C@rd
  • DDI Pocket Air H" C@rd 64
  • NTT P-in
  • NTT P-in m@ster

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so uvscom provides support for the SUNTAC Slipper U VS-10U chip 🌈 and like, Slipper U is a PC Card to USB converter for data communication card adapters. it's giving adapter-ception fr fr.

the device gets accessed through the ucom(4) driver, which is what makes it behave like a tty(4). so it's basically a tty in a trenchcoat 🫢
