DESCRIPTION

This library provides board-specific routines.

NOTE: This is a generic reference entry for a BSP-specific library; this description contains general information only. For features and capabilities specific to the system library included in your BSP, see your BSP's reference entry for sysLib.

The file sysLib.c provides the board-level interface on which VxWorks and application code can be built in a hardware-independent manner. The functions addressed in this file include:

    Initialization functions
        - initialize the hardware to a known state
        - identify the system
        - initialize drivers, such as SCSI or custom drivers

    Memory/address space functions
        - get the on-board memory size
        - make on-board memory accessible to external bus
        - map local and bus address spaces
        - enable/disable cache memory
        - set/get nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM)
        - define board's memory map (optional)
        - virtual-to-physical memory map declarations for processors with MMUs

    Bus interrupt functions
        - enable/disable bus interrupt levels
        - generate bus interrupts

    Clock/timer functions
        - enable/disable timer interrupts
        - set the periodic rate of the timer

    Mailbox/location monitor functions
        - enable mailbox/location monitor interrupts for VME-based boards

The sysLib library does not support every feature of every board; a particular board may have various extensions to the capabilities described here. Conversely, some boards do not support every function provided by this library. Some boards provide some of the functions of this library by means of hardware switches, jumpers, or PALs, instead of software-controllable registers.

Typically, most functions in this library are not called by the user application directly. The configuration modules usrConfig.c and bootConfig.c are responsible for invoking the routines at the appropriate time. Device drivers may use some of the memory mapping routines and bus functions.

sysScsiConfig( )

NAME

sysScsiConfig( ) - system SCSI configuration

SYNOPSIS


STATUS sysScsiConfig (void)

DESCRIPTION

This is an example SCSI configuration routine.

Most of the code found here is an example of how to declare a SCSI peripheral configuration. You must edit this routine to reflect the actual configuration of your SCSI bus. This example can also be found in src/config/usrScsi.c.

If you are just getting started, you can test your hardware configuration by defining SCSI_AUTO_CONFIG, which will probe the bus and display all devices found. No device should have the same SCSI bus ID as your VxWorks SCSI port (default = 7), or the same as any other device. Check for proper bus termination.

There are three configuration examples here. They demonstrate configuration of a SCSI hard disk (any type), an OMTI 3500 floppy disk, and a tape drive (any type).

Hard Disk

The hard disk is divided into two 32-Mbyte partitions and a third partition with the remainder of the disk. The first partition is initialized as a dosFs device. The second and third partitions are initialized as rt11Fs devices, each with 256 directory entries.

It is recommended that the first partition (BLK_DEV) on a block device be a dosFs device, if the intention is eventually to boot VxWorks from the device. This will simplify the task considerably.

Floppy Disk

The floppy, since it is a removable medium device, is allowed to have only a single partition, and dosFs is the file system of choice for this device, since it facilitates media compatibility with IBM PC machines.

In contrast to the hard disk configuration, the floppy setup in this example is more intricate. Note that the scsiPhysDevCreate( ) call is issued twice. The first time is merely to get a "handle" to pass to scsiModeSelect( ), since the default media type is sometimes inappropriate (in the case of generic SCSI-to-floppy cards). After the hardware is correctly configured, the handle is discarded via scsiPhysDevDelete( ), after which the peripheral is correctly configured by a second call to scsiPhysDevCreate( ). (Before the scsiModeSelect( ) call, the configuration information was incorrect.) Note that after the scsiBlkDevCreate( ) call, the correct values for sectorsPerTrack and nHeads must be set via scsiBlkDevInit( ). This is necessary for IBM PC compatibility.

Tape Drive

The tape configuration is also somewhat complex because certain device parameters need to turned off within VxWorks and the fixed-block size needs to be defined, assuming that the tape supports fixed blocks.

The last parameter to the dosFsDevInit( ) call is a pointer to a DOS_VOL_CONFIG structure. By specifying NULL, you are asking dosFsDevInit( ) to read this information off the disk in the drive. This may fail if no disk is present or if the disk has no valid dosFs directory. Should this be the case, you can use the dosFsMkfs( ) command to create a new directory on a disk. This routine uses default parameters (see dosFsLib) that may not be suitable for your application, in which case you should use dosFsDevInit( ) with a pointer to a valid DOS_VOL_CONFIG structure that you have created and initialized. If dosFsDevInit( ) is used, a diskInit( ) call should be made to write a new directory on the disk, if the disk is blank or disposable.

NOTE

The variable pSbdFloppy is global to allow the above calls to be made from the VxWorks shell, for example: 

    -> dosFsMkfs "/fd0/", pSbdFloppy
If a disk is new, use diskFormat( ) to format it.

    (
    int    adrsSpace,  /* bus address space in which busAdrs resides */
    char * busAdrs,    /* bus address to convert */
    char * *pLocalAdrs /* where to return local address */
    )

DESCRIPTION

This routine gets the local address that accesses a specified bus memory address.

RETURNS

OK, or ERROR if the address space is unknown or the mapping is not possible.

sysSerialHwInit( )

NAME

sysSerialHwInit( ) - initialize the BSP serial devices to a quiesent state

SYNOPSIS

 

void sysSerialHwInit (void)

DESCRIPTION

This routine initializes the BSP serial device descriptors and puts the devices in a quiesent state. It is called from sysHwInit( ) with interrupts locked.

sysSerialHwInit2( )

NAME

sysSerialHwInit2( ) - connect BSP serial device interrupts

SYNOPSIS

 

void sysSerialHwInit2 (void)

DESCRIPTION

This routine connects the BSP serial device interrupts. It is called from sysHwInit2( ). Serial device interrupts could not be connected in sysSerialHwInit( ) because the kernel memory allocator was not initialized at that point, and intConnect( ) calls malloc( ).

sysSerialReset( )

NAME

sysSerialReset( ) - reset all SIO devices to a quiet state

SYNOPSIS

 

void sysSerialReset (void)

DESCRIPTION

This routine is called from sysToMonitor( ) to reset all SIO device and prevent them from generating interrupts or performing DMA cycles.

sysSerialChanGet( )

NAME

sysSerialChanGet( ) - get the SIO_CHAN device associated with a serial channel

SYNOPSIS

SIO_CHAN * sysSerialChanGet
    (
    int channel /* serial channel */
    )

DESCRIPTION

This routine gets the SIO_CHAN device associated with a specified serial channel.

NOTE

This is a generic page for a BSP-specific routine; this description contains general information only. To determine if this routine is supported by your BSP, or for information specific to your BSP's version of this routine, see the reference pages for your BSP.*

RETURNS

A pointer to the SIO_CHAN structure for the channel, or ERROR if the channel is invalid.
