Integrating NS16550 Serial Driver and pcPentium BSP

VxWorks 5.5, gnu toolchain.

Has anyone attempted to use the NS16550 serial driver with the stock
pcPentium BSP?

I'm trying to do this, but target/src/drv/sio/ns16650Serial.c appears to
be written for a memory-mapped interface, and tweaking
target/config/pcPentium/sysSerial.c is a little unclear because of the
differences in the channel descriptor structure.

I can't believe that nobody has done this yet, but a search of google
(web and groups) as well as WindSurf came up negative!

Also, it looks like the ns16550 driver doesn't really take proper
advantage of the receive FIFO. Anyone done any tweaks to get it to do a
block read?

You might be able to use the evbNs16550Sio driver. It doesn't
use a memory mapped interface. Don't know about the FIFO
though.
