Configuring serial ports in TD

I have a hardware platform that has a quad 16C550 based UART.
In order to utilize the 4 additional serial ports, I have to manually
configure them in XP after FBA.
I know the hardware address and IRQ of each port but can't figure out how to
just automatically add them in TD.
I had tried once to monitor it with a registry change program but got myself
lost with all the registry edits that happened during the configuration.

Anyone know how to do this?
 
I think I found what I needed.
XP generates some registry entries in controlset001 and currentcontrolset. I
can export this as a reg file.
Any way to import a reg file in TD?
 
David,
I think I found what I needed.
XP generates some registry entries in controlset001 and currentcontrolset.

Of course it does! This is where all hardware related configurations go.
First there are only branches in registry of SYSTEM\ControlSet??? type.
CurrentControlSet is just a link to one of the control sets in most cases to
ControlSet001.

So you should choose values from only one of them either CurrentControlSet,
or ControlSet001 no matter which since they are same thing.

For you there are few specific branches of interest:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Serial
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\......\
Key "Device Parameters" might interest you as well.
...... are representing your specific hardware PnP ID for each port. For
instance PNP0501\1

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE
10318}\

Thanks,
I"m trying a build now.
I imported the registry info directly into the project.
If that works I'll think about a component.
