* Device driver optimized for the Symbios/LSI 53C896/53C895A/53C1010
* PCI-SCSI controllers.
*
* Copyright (C) 1999 Gerard Roudier <groudier@club-internet.fr>
*
* This driver also supports the following Symbios/LSI PCI-SCSI chips:
* 53C810A, 53C825A, 53C860, 53C875, 53C876, 53C885, 53C895.
*
* but does not support earlier chips as the following ones:
* 53C810, 53C815, 53C825.
*
* This driver for FreeBSD-CAM is derived from the Linux sym53c8xx driver.
* Copyright (C) 1998-1999 Gerard Roudier
*
* The sym53c8xx driver is derived from the ncr53c8xx driver that had been
* a port of the FreeBSD ncr driver to Linux-1.2.13.
*
* The original ncr driver has been written for 386bsd and FreeBSD by
* Wolfgang Stanglmeier <wolf@cologne.de>
* Stefan Esser <se@mi.Uni-Koeln.de>
* Copyright (C) 1994 Wolfgang Stanglmeier
*
* The initialisation code, and part of the code that addresses
* FreeBSD-CAM services is based on the aic7xxx driver for FreeBSD-CAM
* written by Justin T. Gibbs.

* NVRAM detection and reading.

Status: (switched back to EXPERIMENTAL due to some heavy changes)
EXPERIMENTAL
This driver is currently developped under the following O/S:
FreeBSD 4.0 SNAPSHOT July 5th 1999
Starting with version 0.9.0, the driver contains conditionnal code
for using pre-4.0 BUS stuff for PCI. I have successfully tested driver
version 0.9.0 under:
FreeBSD 3.2 RELEASE
Given that the old bus stuff is still supported under FreeBSD, the driver
should also compile and work just fine under FreeBSD 3.3 RELEASE.
Latest revision:
sym-0.9.0-19991024
Supported SCSI features:
- Initiator mode
- Wide 16 SCSI BUS
- FAST10 up to FAST80-DT synchronous data transfers (1)
(depends on controller capabilities)
- 64 luns per target
- 256 tags per lun
- MDP (2)
- BUS DEVICE RESET message
- ABORT, ABORT TAG message (2)
Supported generic chip features:
- On chip RAM
- PCI optimized transactions.
Supported features of 896/895A/1010:
- Full SCRIPTS in on-board RAM (8K)
- Phase mismatch handling from SCRIPTS.
Others:
- SYMBIOS NVRAM layout using 24c16 EEPROM
- TEKRAM NVRAM layout using 24c16 EEPROM (2)
- TEKRAM NVRAM layout using 93c46 EEPROM (2)
- Transfer residuals
- 0(1) for both SCRIPTS and C code, allowing
100% scalability.
Notes:
(1) Only supported by the LSI53C1010 and not yet
tested due to lack of C1010 based controller.
(2) Not yet checked. May not work as expected.
Files:
README.sym this file
sym_conf.h driver configuration
sym_defs.h driver definitions
sym_hipd.c driver code
sym_sys.patch kernel patch for FreeBSD 4
sym_sys_3.patch kernel patch for FreeBSD 3
These patches apply a change to the ncr.c driver that forces it to
ignore SYM53C8XX chips that support LOAD/STORE. These devices will
be attached by the sym_hipd.c driver.
Installation:
1) Untar SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz
2) Copy README.sym, sym_conf.h, sym_defs.h and sym_hipd.c to
/usr/src/sys/pci/
3) Change to /usr/src/sys/ directory
4) If FreeBSD-4, apply the unified patch sym_sys.patch
(patch -p0 <sym_sys.patch)
Otherwise,
If FreeBSD-3, apply the unified patch sym_sys_3.patch
(patch -p0 <sym_sys_3.patch)
Otherwise, leave here. ;)
5) Add sym0 to your kernel configuration as indicated in patched LINT file.
Configure and make your kernel.
Warnings:
- This driver uses LOAD/STORE instructions from SCRIPTS and therefore does
not support earliest NCR chips (NCR53C810, NCR53C815, NCR53C825).
Versionning:
- The version number consists in 3 numbers X.Y.Z, starting with 0.0.0.
- Z will not be used for incremental patches, but may be used for
quick fixes.
- Incremental diff files are of the following pattern:
PATCH-SYM-X.Y.Z-YYYYMMDD
They must be applied from directory: /usr/src/sys/pci/
- Version 1.0.0 will add support for the C1010 (Ultra-3 DT data transfers)
- Version 2.0.0 is not planned for now, but will add support for host target
mode if it will ever exist.
Change log:
* SYM-0.0.0-19990915
Initial release.
* SYM-0.1.0-19990919 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.1.0-19990919
Add NVRAM support for latest Tekram boards using 24c16 EEPROM.
* SYM-0.2.0-19990922 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.2.0-19990922
Add PPR negotiation and Ultra3 DT transfers for the LSI53C1010.
This corresponding code is untested since I haven't yet the
hardware. But the driver is not broken for current chips.
* SYM-0.3.0-19990925 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.3.0-19990925
Source review.
Testing of the QUEUE FULL handling (some fixes applied).
* SYM-0.4.0-19990925 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.4.0-19990928)
Fixes, notably the QUEUE FULL handling that requeued everything
without telling the XPT about the error. Note that this did not
break anything, but the queue depth was never reduced.
* SYM-0.5.0-19991001 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.5.0-19991001)
Problem of not discovering LUNs != 0 hopefully fixed.
Some other minor fixes.
* SYM-0.6.0-19991003 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.6.0-19991003)
Test error recovery pathes and residual calculation.
Improve Symbios NVRAM support by applying the SCAN_LUNS flag. The driver
answers DEV_NOT_THERE to INQUIRYs for LUNs that are not to be scanned.
Switch the driver status for SPI2 support to BETA-RELEASE.
* SYM-0.7.0-19991006 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.7.0-19991006)
Add support of the LSI1510D that emulates a 895 (infos sent by Compaq
that seems to be the only supplier of this chip)
Return CAM_REQ_ABORTED on HS_ABORT host status.
Fix a tiny bug that let the driver miss the TAG setting.
* SYM-0.8.0-19991016 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.8.0-19991016)
Heavy rewrite/rewamping of the error handling code in order to conform
to FreeBSD-CAM expectation of commands having to be requeued and device
queue to be freezed on any kind of error. Driver status switched back
to EXPERIMENTAL due to these changes.
Warn user about targets that are not flagged for SCAN AT BOOT in the
NVRAM, since the driver will not allow the corresponding devices to be
discovered by XPT.
And numerous minor changes.
* SYM-0.9.0-19991024 (Tar file SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz)
Add support for previous PCI BUS stuff, for the driver to be useable
under FreeBSD 3.X RELEASES. The source is #ifdefed for using the old
PCI BUS code under __FreeBSD_version < 400000 and the new one otherwise.
Tested under RELENG_3_2_0_RELEASE, but should also be just fine for 3.3.
Other changes against version 0.8.0 are only minor buglet fixes.
