could cause a solid system lockup in the driver attach:
These chips do not abort an access to the internal SRAM, when
the driver set the software reset bit in the istat register. But
the chip will never acknowledge the requested PCI bus transfer
in the situation, causing an infinite wait and a lockout of other
bus-masters.
The problem has been reported for rev 0x11 of the 53c825a and
rev 0x01 of the 53c875.
Revisions 0x13 of the 53c825a and 0x03 of the 53c875 are known
to support SRAM accesses, even in the software reset state.
- Do not malloc SCRIPTS memory for those parts of the microcode that
are to be loaded into the on-chip SRAM of the 53c825a or 875 ...
- Modify ncr_chip_lookup to make adding new entries easier.
- Disable use of on-chip SRAM for the 53c825 rev 0x10 to 0x12, since
there seems to be a problem with rev 0x11, while 0x13 is known to
work. (Tested by Chuck Robey <chuckr@glue.umd.edu>).
This code will be merged into 2.2-stable after a few more days of
testing in -current.
should work with no driver changes, though not all features are currently
used.
Remove code that was conditional on NEW_SCSICONF not being defined. This
was temporary code, that at a time got excluded correctly, until the new
scsiconf became the default, and NEW_SCSICONF was no longer specified.
Add support for quirks defined in scsiconf.c. For now only the HP3724/5
needs an entry, since that drive can't be used with tags.
type mismatches. There was no problem in practice (at least on 386's).
Removed NetBSD-related TIMEOUT macro. NetBSD uses the same BSD4.4Lite
timeout interface as FreeBSD. As a concession to portability, declare
the timeout function without using the FreeBSD timeout_t typedef.
form `tv = time'. Use a new function gettime(). The current version
just forces atomicicity without fixing precision or efficiency bugs.
Simplified some related valid accesses by using the central function.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
NCR driver dies when "xmcd" accesses the CD-ROM drive
Restrict cacheing of INQUIRY results to LUN 0.
Thanks to Dave Huang <khym@bga.com> for reporting the problem
and suggesting a fix, though I chose a slightly different one.
Tekram DC390W/U/F, whose config EEPROM can now be dumped, if the kernel
is built with option NCR_TEKRAM_EEPROM.
Other changes:
- add brackets to expansion of OUTB/W/L macro arguments.
- remove unused NCB structure element ns_async
- support sync. SCSI offset of 16 (instead of only 8) on 825A and 875
- correctly identify 53c810A and 53c825A chips
- preserve SCSI BIOS settings of PCI performance options
- remove (already disabled) support for NCR reset because of command timeout
- reverse order of reading of SCSI and DMA specific interrupt cause registers
- add definition of Tekram config EEPROM contents (not currently used)
I've added an installation from optical disk drive facility.
This enables FreeBSD to be installed from an optical disk, which
may be formatted in "super floppy" style or sliced into MSDOS-FS
and UFS partitions.
Note: ncr.c should be reviewed by Stefan Esser <se@freebsd.org>
and cd.c by Joerg Wunsch <joerg@freebsd.org> before bringing this
into 2.2.

This follows more closely the suggestions in the latest NCR docs, and has
been running on my system for weeks with no problem. It does improve the
quality of diagnostic messages and does allow to better understand the
sequence of events in case of an error.
This should go into 2.2 and 2.1.6.
Still no support for Ultra-SCSI and other new features, but the code
should now correctly initialize the clock pre-scaler (based on freqency
measurement results, if necessary).
Fix support of 16 targets for WIDE SCSI.
Disable bus reset in case no progress is made for too long ("ncr dead"
message), which did not work too well with scanners and other slow devices.
logic clock signal, which had been erroneously commented out by the
previous commit. This will re-enable support for sync. transfer negotiation,
which depends on one of those values.
calculate an optimum value from (constant) parameters.
This should set the SCNTL3 register of the 53c860 and 53c875 to twice
the divider it used to be, since cards based on those chips seem to use
an 80MHz clock instead of the Clock Doubler feature and a 40MHz clock.
Use new XS_SELTIMEOUT error code for selection timeouts.
aic7870.c:
Move SCB walking code to aic7xxx.c and make it work for all card types.
The flag AHC_EXTSCB is no longer needed since the SCBs are walked in
all cases now.
vm_offset_t is currently unsigned long but should probably be plain
unsigned for i386's to match the choice of minimal types to represent
for fixed-width types in Lite2. Anyway, it shouldn't be assumed
to be unsigned long.
I only fixed the type mismatches that were detected when I changed
vm_offset_t to unsigned. Only pointer type mismatches were detected.
- Do not enable tagged commands by default
- Probe only 1 LUN
- Do not negotiate sync. transfer with CDROM drives
Defining FAILSAFE will result in a driver that will tolerate
marginal hardware for the price of a slight loss of performance
It is intended for use in install kernels.
Cleanse the SCSI subsystem of its internally defined types
u_int32, u_int16, u_int8, int32, int16, int8.
Use the system defined *_t types instead.
aic7870.c:
Handle Seeprom data a little better.
that don't announce support for command queues.
SCSI_NCR_DFLT_TAGS can be specified in the kernel config file
and sets the default number of tags per disk drive.
A value of 0 means "no tags".
Minor correction in debug messages: Values from the msg_in
buffer were being printed in the msg_out trace message ...
