Hartmut Brandt 591f4054cb This is a driver for the physical layer chips used in ATM interfaces.
It currently supports the PMC Sierra Lite, Ultra and 622 chips and
the IDT 77105. The driver handles media options and state in a consistent
manner for ATM drivers. The next commit to the midway driver will make
it use utopia.

.Sh NAME
.Nm utopia
.Nd Driver module for ATM PHY chips
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd device utopia
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This module is used by all ATM drivers for cards that use S/Uni and IDT77105
chips to provide uniform functionality.
The module implements status monitoring
in either interrupt or polling mode, media option handling and application
access to chip registers.
.Pp
The driver implements several sysctls that accessible under the
.Cm hw.atm.XXX
tree, where
.Cm XXX
is the name of the ATM interface:
.Bl -tag -width XXX
.It Cm phy_regs
When reading this sysctl an array of 8-bit unsigned integers is returned
containing all accessible chip registers starting at register 0.
A register can be written by writing three 8-bit unsigned integers to the
sysctl: the register number, the new value and a bit mask.
This changes all bits in the register for which the corresponding bit in the
mask is one to the bit values from value.
Note, that not all registers may
be writeable.
.It Cm phy_loopback
allows to put the interface in one of several loopback modes.
Not all modes and all combinations of modes are supported on all chips.
The possible modes are:
.Bl -tag -width XXX
.It Dv UTP_LOOP_NONE (0x00)
No loopback, normal operation.
.It Dv UTP_LOOP_TIME (0x01)
Timing source loopback. When this is set the transmitter's clock is
derived from the receiver's clock.
.It Dv UTP_LOOP_DIAG (0x02)
Diagnostic loopback. In this mode the receiver's input is connected to the
transmitter's output. The receiver gets back everything that is sent. The
transmitter operates normally.
.It Dv UTP_LOOP_LINE (0x04)
Serial line loopback. This connects the line receiver to the line transmitter.
The chip transmits all cells back that it receives. The receiver operates
normally.
.It Dv UTP_LOOP_PARAL (0x08)
Parallel diagnostic loopback. This feeds back all transmitted cells into the
receiver between the parallel/serial converters. The transmitter
operates normally.
.It Dv UTP_LOOP_TWIST (0x10)
Twisted pair diagnostic loopback. Connects the high speed receive data to the
high speed transmit data. All received data is sent back. The receiver
operates normally.
.It Dv UTP_LOOP_PATH (0x20)
Diagnostic path loopback. This connectes the receiver input to the transmitter
output just between the path overhead processor and the byte mux. The
transmitter operates normally.
.El
.It Cm phy_type
This is the detected type of the phy chip. Currently the following chips are
supported:
.Bl -tag -width XXX
.It Dv UTP_TYPE_UNKNOWN (0)
The module could not determine the type of the PHY chip.
.It Dv UTP_TYPE_SUNI_LITE (1)
PMC-5346 (S/Uni-Lite)
.It Dv UTP_TYPE_SUNI_ULTRA (2)
PMC-5350 (S/Uni-Ultra)
.It Dv UTP_TYPE_SUNI_622 (3)
PMC-5355 (S/Uni-622)
.It Dv UTP_TYPE_IDT77105 (4)
IDT77105 (25.6MBit UTP interface)
.El
.It Cm phy_name
This is a string describing the type of the PHY chip.
.El
.Pp
The
.Nm
module also interfaces with the ifmedia system.
The module reports the current state of the carrier and will issue a
warning message when the carrier state changes.
While the physical media itself cannot be changed, several media options can:
.Bl -tag -width XXX
.It Cm SDH
If the PHY is a S/Uni this flag switches the interface into SDH mode.
If this option is not set (the default) the interface is in Sonet mode.
.It Cm noscramb
If the PHY is a S/Uni disable scrambling.
This may be useful for debugging purposes.
.It Cm unassigned
Normally the interface emits idle cells when there are no other cells to
transmit. This changes the default cell type to unassigned cells. This
may be needed for interworking with public networks. Works only for S/Unis.
