|
||
|
||
|
||
2. Rebuild the kernel with RR232x support
|
||
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
|
||
|
||
2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
|
||
|
||
# cd /usr/src/sys/
|
||
# tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr232x-freebsd-src.tgz
|
||
|
||
3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source.
|
||
Assume the configure file is GENERIC, and new kernel configure file is
|
||
MYKERNEL:
|
||
|
||
# cd i386/conf (or amd64/conf for AMD64)
|
||
# cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
|
||
|
||
4) Edit MYKERNEL, and add the following line under "RAID controllers
|
||
interfaced to the SCSI subsystem":
|
||
|
||
device "rr232x" #HighPoint RocketRAID 232x
|
||
|
||
5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines
|
||
shown below:
|
||
|
||
rr232x_lib.o optional rr232x \
|
||
dependency "$S/dev/rr232x/i386-elf.rr232x_lib.o.uu" \
|
||
compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/rr232x/i386-elf.rr232x_lib.o.uu" \
|
||
no-implicit-rule
|
||
|
||
dev/rr232x/os_bsd.c optional rr232x
|
||
dev/rr232x/osm_bsd.c optional rr232x
|
||
dev/rr232x/rr232x_config.c optional rr232x
|
||
|
||
For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines
|
||
shown below:
|
||
|
||
rr232x_lib.o optional rr232x \
|
||
dependency "$S/dev/rr232x/amd64-elf.rr232x_lib.o.uu" \
|
||
compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/rr232x/amd64-elf.rr232x_lib.o.uu" \
|
||
no-implicit-rule
|
||
|
||
dev/rr232x/os_bsd.c optional rr232x
|
||
dev/rr232x/osm_bsd.c optional rr232x
|
||
dev/rr232x/rr232x_config.c optional rr232x
|
||
|
||
Note FreeBSD 5.3/5.4 i386 already have a built-in RR232x driver, you should
|
||
replace the old configuration lines with the lines listed above.
|
||
|
||
|
||
6) Rebuild and install the kernel:
|
||
|
||
a) for FreeBSD 5.x-i386:
|
||
|
||
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
|
||
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
|
||
# cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
|
||
# make depend
|
||
# make
|
||
# make install
|
||
|
||
b) for FreeBSD 5.x-amd64:
|
||
|
||
# cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/
|
||
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
|
||
# cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
|
||
# make depend
|
||
# make
|
||
# make install
|
||
|
||
c) for FreeBSD 4.x:
|
||
|
||
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
|
||
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
|
||
# cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/
|
||
# make depend
|
||
# make
|
||
# make install
|
||
|
||
If the driver was previously configured as an auto-loaded module by
|
||
/boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry rr232x_load="YES"
|
||
from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice.
|
||
|
||
7) Reboot from the new kernel.
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module
|
||
------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
|
||
|
||
2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
|
||
|
||
# cd /usr/src/sys/
|
||
# tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr232x-opensource-v1.12-bsd.tgz
|
||
|
||
|
||
4) Build the driver module:
|
||
|
||
# cd modules/rr232x
|
||
# make
|
||
|
||
5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory
|
||
|
||
For FreeBSD 4.x:
|
||
|
||
# cp rr232x.ko /modules/
|
||
|
||
For FreeBSD 5.x:
|
||
|
||
# cp rr232x.ko /boot/kernel/
|
||
|
||
6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g:
|
||
|
||
BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
|
||
Console: internal video/keyboard
|
||
BIOS driver A: is disk0
|
||
BIOS driver C: is disk2
|
||
BIOS 636kB/74512kB available memory
|
||

||

|
||

|
||
/modules/rr232x.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254
|
||
ok boot
|
||
|
||
For FreeBSD 5.x, you can select 6 on the boot menu to get a loader prompt.
|
||
|
||
7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the
|
||
driver automatically:
|
||
|
||
rr232x_load="YES"
|
||
|
||
