For UART type, I see the permitted types are none, 8250, 16450, 16550,
16550A, 16650, 16650V2, 16654, 16750, 16850, 16950, and 16954 etc.
Looking into the data sheet I haven’t found any register or parameter
defining any of those UART types. Is ‘UART type’ is determined from a
register settings point of view or a pinout point of view?

From data sheet point of view I'm clear on how to set the non-standard
baud rate, even I exposed a custom Ioctl for this. But here I’m trying
to understand how it is achieved by using available UART kernel
framework.
For non-standard baud rate requests, observed that
tty->termios.c_ispeed & tty->termios.c_ospeed set to 38400. I did not
understood why it changes?

register settings point of view.
I suggest you do some basic research into how UARTs work before
continuing with this effort, it will save you a lot of time in the end

Have you read the documentation on how to set custom baud rates? I
can't find the link to it at the moment, but it is very possible to do
that today, no special ioctls are needed at all. I think someone was
finally working on getting glibc to support it directly, but I do not
know if those patches ever got merged, so you would just have to "open
code" it in userspace if you want to do this.
good luck!

Thanks for you suggestion. I will study on this, I’m glad if you can
point some good documentation links on this.

I could not find clear documentation on this, I’m very much thankful
if someone point me on this. I thought of exploring TIOCGSERIAL and
TIOCSSERIAL Ioctl’s to set custom baud rates. Now it looks like I
should read the kernel code to understand how to achieve this without
special ioctls.

You should try to set a custom baudrate with help of TCSETS2:
----8<----
static int set_speed(int fd, speed_t speed)
{
struct termios2 tio;
int ret;
ret = ioctl(fd, TCGETS2, &tio);
if (ret) {
printf("TCGETS2 failed: %d\n", ret);
return ret;
}
tio.c_cflag &= ~CBAUD;
tio.c_cflag |= BOTHER;
tio.c_ispeed = speed;
tio.c_ospeed = speed;
ret = ioctl(fd, TCSETS2, &tio);
if (ret) {
printf("TCSETS2 failed to set speed %u: %d\n", speed, ret);
return ret;
}
return 0;
}
----8<----

Best wishes,
Vladimir

You use the termios2 structure and TCGETS2/TCSETS ioctl calls:

Hi All,
I’ve an UART ports on Xilinx FPGA board and it gets connected to PC
via PCIe bus. I could not find any kernel serial driver which supports
our hardware so I plan to develop a new driver. I see two approaches
to develop an UART driver i.e. either by using tty_register_driver()
or an uart_register_driver().
Regarding my UART module, it has a counter of 16 bits and runs on a
32Mhz clock. It supports all the standard & non-standard baud’s up to
4Mbps.
If I used struct tty_operations, I noticed that baud rate changing is
done via “.set_termios” API, but this method only supports standard
baud rates. I’d like to know why this API does not support
non-standard baud rates?
Okay, what methods a good driver should implement to support
non-standard baud rates?
Thanks
