NCR53c400 extensions Copyright |copy| 1994,1995,1996 Kevin Lentin |
|
|
|
This file documents the NCR53c400 extensions by Kevin Lentin and some |
|
enhancements to the NCR5380 core. |
|
|
|
This driver supports NCR5380 and NCR53c400 and compatible cards in port or |
|
memory mapped modes. |
|
|
|
Use of an interrupt is recommended, if supported by the board, as this will |
|
allow targets to disconnect and thereby improve SCSI bus utilization. |
|
|
|
If the irq parameter is 254 or is omitted entirely, the driver will probe |
|
for the correct IRQ line automatically. If the irq parameter is 0 or 255 |
|
then no IRQ will be used. |
|
|
|
The NCR53c400 does not support DMA but it does have Pseudo-DMA which is |
|
supported by the driver. |
|
|
|
This driver provides some information on what it has detected in |
|
/proc/scsi/g_NCR5380/x where x is the scsi card number as detected at boot |
|
time. More info to come in the future. |
|
|
|
This driver works as a module. |
|
When included as a module, parameters can be passed on the insmod/modprobe |
|
command line: |
|
|
|
============= =============================================================== |
|
irq=xx[,...] the interrupt(s) |
|
base=xx[,...] the port or base address(es) (for port or memory mapped, resp.) |
|
card=xx[,...] card type(s): |
|
|
|
== ====================================== |
|
0 NCR5380, |
|
1 NCR53C400, |
|
2 NCR53C400A, |
|
3 Domex Technology Corp 3181E (DTC3181E) |
|
4 Hewlett Packard C2502 |
|
== ====================================== |
|
============= =============================================================== |
|
|
|
These old-style parameters can support only one card: |
|
|
|
============= ================================================= |
|
ncr_irq=xx the interrupt |
|
ncr_addr=xx the port or base address (for port or memory |
|
mapped, resp.) |
|
ncr_5380=1 to set up for a NCR5380 board |
|
ncr_53c400=1 to set up for a NCR53C400 board |
|
ncr_53c400a=1 to set up for a NCR53C400A board |
|
dtc_3181e=1 to set up for a Domex Technology Corp 3181E board |
|
hp_c2502=1 to set up for a Hewlett Packard C2502 board |
|
============= ================================================= |
|
|
|
E.g. Trantor T130B in its default configuration:: |
|
|
|
modprobe g_NCR5380 irq=5 base=0x350 card=1 |
|
|
|
or alternatively, using the old syntax:: |
|
|
|
modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=5 ncr_addr=0x350 ncr_53c400=1 |
|
|
|
E.g. a port mapped NCR5380 board, driver to probe for IRQ:: |
|
|
|
modprobe g_NCR5380 base=0x350 card=0 |
|
|
|
or alternatively:: |
|
|
|
modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_addr=0x350 ncr_5380=1 |
|
|
|
E.g. a memory mapped NCR53C400 board with no IRQ:: |
|
|
|
modprobe g_NCR5380 irq=255 base=0xc8000 card=1 |
|
|
|
or alternatively:: |
|
|
|
modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0xc8000 ncr_53c400=1 |
|
|
|
E.g. two cards, DTC3181 (in non-PnP mode) at 0x240 with no IRQ |
|
and HP C2502 at 0x300 with IRQ 7:: |
|
|
|
modprobe g_NCR5380 irq=0,7 base=0x240,0x300 card=3,4 |
