Setting IRQ handler for Altera UART

HI,

I am working on a custom board with 3 UATRS. All 3 always active. I have written an polling based uart driver for this taking U-Boot driver as reference. This works fine. I am using this in application written in NIOS 2 IDE.

Since it is polling based i am losing data on other 2 uarts when working on 1 uart. So Best way to receive data is by setting an IRQ handler for all 3 uarts.

how do i set an interrupt handler for uart ????????????????

    if you use nios2 uclinux, the uart driver code is in drivers/serial/NIOSserial.c .

    up to 4 uarts are supported. (you may add more)

    irq handler is registered with request_irq() kernel api.
