在Linux中，UART串口驱动完全遵循tty驱动的框架结构，但是进行了底层操作的再次封装，所以先介绍tty终端设备驱动。
一、终端设备
1.串行端口终端（/dev/ttySACn）
2.伪终端（/dev/pty/）
3.控制台终端（/dev/ttyn,/dev/console）
二、驱动结构
1.tty分层结构如下图所示：
![[1]ARM-Linux S5PV210 UART驱动](https://image.shishitao.com:8440/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaXRkYWFuLmNvbS9nby8%3D.jpg?w=700&webp=1 "[1]ARM-Linux S5PV210 UART驱动")
包含tty核心、tty线路规程、tty驱动，其中tty规程的工作是以特殊的方式格式化从一个用户或者硬件接收到的数据，常采用一个协议转换的形式，如PPP、Bluetooth。
特定的tty设备驱动的主体工作是填充tty_driver结构体中的成员，实现tty_operations结构体中的一系列成员函数:
struct tty_driver {
int magic; /* magic number for this structure */
struct kref kref; /* Reference management */
struct cdev cdev;
struct module *owner;
const char *driver_name;//驱动名字
const char *name;//驱动设备结点名字
int name_base; /* offset of printed name */
int major; /* major device number */
int minor_start; /* start of minor device number */
int minor_num; /* number of *possible* devices */
int num; /* number of devices allocated */
short type; /* type of tty driver */
short subtype; /* subtype of tty driver */
struct ktermios init_termios; /* Initial termios */
int flags; /* tty driver flags */
struct proc_dir_entry *proc_entry; /* /proc fs entry */
struct tty_driver *other; /* only used for the PTY driver */
/*
* Pointer to the tty data structures
*/
struct tty_struct **ttys;
struct ktermios **termios;
struct ktermios **termios_locked;
void *driver_state;
/*
* Driver methods
*/
const struct tty_operations *ops;
struct list_head tty_drivers;
};
tty_operations中的成员函数需在特定设备tty驱动模块初始化函数中被赋值；
tty_struct结构体被tty核心用来保存当前tty端口的状态。

tty_io.c：
【1】定义了tty 设备通用的file_operations结构体：
static const struct file_operations tty_fops = {
.llseek = no_llseek,
.read = tty_read,
.write = tty_write,
.poll = tty_poll,
.unlocked_ioctl = tty_ioctl,
.compat_ioctl = tty_compat_ioctl,
.open = tty_open,
.release = tty_release,
.fasync = tty_fasync,
};
【2】实现了接口函数alloc_tty_driver()用于分配tty驱动：
/*tty driver 的所有操作都包含在 tty_driver 中。内核即供了一个名叫 alloc_tty_driver()
来分配这个 tty_driver。当然我们也可以在自己的驱动中将它定义成一个静态的结构。对
tty_driver 进行一些必要的初始化之后，调用 tty_register_driver()将其注册. */

driver = kzalloc(sizeof(struct tty_driver), GFP_KERNEL);
if (driver) {
kref_init(&driver->kref);
driver->magic = TTY_DRIVER_MAGIC;
driver->num = lines;
/* later we'll move allocation of tables here */
}
return driver;
}
【3】实现了接口函数tty_set_operations()用于设置tty驱动操作：
/*将tty_operations结构体中的函数指针拷贝给tty_driver对应的函数指针*/
void tty_set_operations(struct tty_driver *driver,
const struct tty_operations *op)
{
driver->ops = op;
};
【4】实现了接口函数tty_register_driver()用于注册tty设备：
/*
* Called by a tty driver to register itself.
* 注册 tty 驱动成功时返回 0；参数为由 alloc_tty_driver()分配的 tty_driver 结构体指针。
*这个函数操作比较简单。就是为 tty_driver 创建字符设备。然后将字符设备的操作集指定
*为 tty_fops.并且将 tty_driver 挂载到 tty_drivers 链表中。以设备号为关键字找到对应
*的 driver.
