ncrBsd2Linux 1.11 is available at the following location:
- sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/Incoming/ncrBsd2Linux-1.11-src.tar.gz
(I did'nt see "pub/incoming" at tsx-11)
Description: FreeBSD NCR53C8XX SCSI driver adapted to Linux Fast, Wide, Tagged Queue, Parity support
Primary-site: tsx-11.mit.edu /pub/linux/ALPHA/scsi
Alternate-site: sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/kernel/patches/scsi
Release notes:
New features using the proc file system have been added.
1 - Profile data support The command "cat /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0 now displays something like the following messages:
General informations: Chip NCR53C810, device id 0x1, revision id 0x2 IO port address 0x6000, IRQ number 10 Using memory mapped IO at virtual address 0x281a000 Profiling informations: num_trans = 149854 num_kbytes = 918325 num_disc = 190661 num_break = 1550 num_int = 1569 num_fly = 149889 ms_setup = 26780 ms_data = 673380 ms_disc = 1413580 ms_post = 9210
2 - Control commands
Commands can be sent to the driver by writing to the proc device associated with each controller (echo "<verb> <parameters>" >/proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0).
Summary of commands: Set minimum synchronous period Set wide size Set maximum number of concurrent tagged commands Set order type for tagged command Set debug mode
3 - New README file
The README file has been rewritten, here is the table of contents:
1. Introduction 2. Supported chips and SCSI features 3. Summary of other supported features 4. Memory mapped IO versus normal IO 5. Tagged command queueing 6. Parity checking 7. Profiling information 8. Control commands 8.1 Set minimum synchronous period 8.2 Set wide size 8.3 Set maximum number of concurrent tagged commands 8.4 Set order type for tagged command 8.5 Set debug mode 9. Configuration parameters 10. Some constants and flags of the ncr53c8xx.h header file 11. Provided files 12. Installation procedure for Linux version 1 13. Installation procedure for Linux version 2 14. Control commands under linux-1.2.13 15. Known problems 15.1 Tagged commands with Iomega Jaz device
I am not a native speaker of English and there is probably lots of mistakes in the README file. Any help would be welcome. Thanks per advance.
Gerard.
