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
