SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======================================== +The COPS LocalTalk Linux driver (cops.c) +======================================== + +By Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org> + +This driver has two modes and they are: Dayna mode and Tangent mode. +Each mode corresponds with the type of card. It has been found +that there are 2 main types of cards and all other cards are +the same and just have different names or only have minor differences +such as more IO ports. As this driver is tested it will +become more clear exactly what cards are supported. + +Right now these cards are known to work with the COPS driver. The +LT-200 cards work in a somewhat more limited capacity than the +DL200 cards, which work very well and are in use by many people. + +TANGENT driver mode: + - Tangent ATB-II, Novell NL-1000, Daystar Digital LT-200 + +DAYNA driver mode: + - Dayna DL2000/DaynaTalk PC (Half Length), COPS LT-95, + - Farallon PhoneNET PC III, Farallon PhoneNET PC II + +Other cards possibly supported mode unknown though: + - Dayna DL2000 (Full length) + +The COPS driver defaults to using Dayna mode.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=========== +LTPC Driver +=========== + +This is the ALPHA version of the ltpc driver. + +In order to use it, you will need at least version 1.3.3 of the +netatalk package, and the Apple or Farallon LocalTalk PC card. +There are a number of different LocalTalk cards for the PC; this +driver applies only to the one with the 65c02 processor chip on it. + +To include it in the kernel, select the CONFIG_LTPC switch in the +configuration dialog. You can also compile it as a module. + +While the driver will attempt to autoprobe the I/O port address, IRQ +line, and DMA channel of the card, this does not always work. For +this reason, you should be prepared to supply these parameters +yourself. (see "Card Configuration" below for how to determine or +change the settings on your card) + +When the driver is compiled into the kernel, you can add a line such +as the following to your /etc/lilo.conf:: + + append="ltpc=0x240,9,1" + +where the parameters (in order) are the port address, IRQ, and DMA +channel. The second and third values can be omitted, in which case +the driver will try to determine them itself. + +If you load the driver as a module, you can pass the parameters "io=", +"irq=", and "dma=" on the command line with insmod or modprobe, or add +them as options in a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/ directory:: + + alias lt0 ltpc # autoload the module when the interface is configured + options ltpc io=0x240 irq=9 dma=1 + +Before starting up the netatalk demons (perhaps in rc.local), you +need to add a line such as:: + + /sbin/ifconfig lt0 127.0.0.42 + +The address is unimportant - however, the card needs to be configured +with ifconfig so that Netatalk can find it. + +The appropriate netatalk configuration depends on whether you are +attached to a network that includes AppleTalk routers or not. If, +like me, you are simply connecting to your home Macintoshes and +printers, you need to set up netatalk to "seed". The way I do this +is to have the lines:: + + dummy -seed -phase 2 -net 2000 -addr 2000.26 -zone "1033" + lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1033 -addr 1033.27 -zone "1033" + +in my atalkd.conf. What is going on here is that I need to fool +netatalk into thinking that there are two AppleTalk interfaces +present; otherwise, it refuses to seed. This is a hack, and a more +permanent solution would be to alter the netatalk code. Also, make +sure you have the correct name for the dummy interface - If it's +compiled as a module, you will need to refer to it as "dummy0" or some +such. + +If you are attached to an extended AppleTalk network, with routers on +it, then you don't need to fool around with this -- the appropriate +line in atalkd.conf is:: + + lt0 -phase 1 + + +Card Configuration +================== + +The interrupts and so forth are configured via the dipswitch on the +board. Set the switches so as not to conflict with other hardware. + + Interrupts -- set at most one. If none are set, the driver uses + polled mode.

However, you can't just +treat the LocalTalk device like an ordinary Ethernet device, even if +that's what it looks like to Netatalk. + +Instead, you follow the same procedure as for doing IP in EtherTalk. +See Documentation/networking/ipddp.rst for more information about the +kernel driver and userspace tools needed. + + +Bugs +==== + +IRQ autoprobing often doesn't work on a cold boot. To get around +this, either compile the driver as a module, or pass the parameters +for the card to the kernel as described above. + +Also, as usual, autoprobing is not recommended when you use the driver +as a module. (though it usually works at boot time, at least) + +Polled mode is *really* slow sometimes, but this seems to depend on +the configuration of the network. + +It may theoretically be possible to use two LTPC cards in the same +machine, but this is unsupported, so if you really want to do this, +you'll probably have to hack the initialization code a bit. + + +Thanks +====== + +Thanks to Alan Cox for helpful discussions early on in this +work, and to Denis Hainsworth for doing the bleeding-edge testing. + +Bradford Johnson <bradford@math.umn.edu> + +Updated 11/09/1998 by David Huggins-Daines <dhd@debian.org> diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/atm/cxacru-cf.py b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/atm/cxacru-cf.py new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..b41d298398c8 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/atm/cxacru-cf.py @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python +# Copyright 2009 Simon Arlott +# +# This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it +# under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free +# Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) +# any later version. +# +# This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT +# ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or +# FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +.. include:: <isonum.txt> + +======================================= +Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet MAC driver +======================================= + +Copyright |copy| 2008-2014 Altera Corporation + +This is the driver for the Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet (TSE) controllers +using the SGDMA and MSGDMA soft DMA IP components. The driver uses the +platform bus to obtain component resources. The designs used to test this +driver were built for a Cyclone(R) V SOC FPGA board, a Cyclone(R) V FPGA board, +and tested with ARM and NIOS processor hosts separately. The anticipated use +cases are simple communications between an embedded system and an external peer +for status and simple configuration of the embedded system. + +For more information visit www.altera.com and www.rocketboards.org. Support +forums for the driver may be found on www.rocketboards.org, and a design used +to test this driver may be found there as well. Support is also available from +the maintainer of this driver, found in MAINTAINERS. + +The Triple-Speed Ethernet, SGDMA, and MSGDMA components are all soft IP +components that can be assembled and built into an FPGA using the Altera +Quartus toolchain. Quartus 13.1 and 14.0 were used to build the design that +this driver was tested against. The sopc2dts tool is used to create the +device tree for the driver, and may be found at rocketboards.org. + +The driver probe function examines the device tree and determines if the +Triple-Speed Ethernet instance is using an SGDMA or MSGDMA component. The +probe function then installs the appropriate set of DMA routines to +initialize, setup transmits, receives, and interrupt handling primitives for +the respective configurations. + +The SGDMA component is to be deprecated in the near future (over the next 1-2 +years as of this writing in early 2014) in favor of the MSGDMA component. +SGDMA support is included for existing designs and reference in case a +developer wishes to support their own soft DMA logic and driver support. Any +new designs should not use the SGDMA. + +The SGDMA supports only a single transmit or receive operation at a time, and +therefore will not perform as well compared to the MSGDMA soft IP. Please +visit www.altera.com for known, documented SGDMA errata. + +Scatter-gather DMA is not supported by the SGDMA or MSGDMA at this time. +Scatter-gather DMA will be added to a future maintenance update to this +driver. + +Jumbo frames are not supported at this time. + +The driver limits PHY operations to 10/100Mbps, and has not yet been fully +tested for 1Gbps. This support will be added in a future maintenance update. + +1. Kernel Configuration +======================= + +The kernel configuration option is ALTERA_TSE: + + Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> Ethernet driver support ---> + Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet MAC support (ALTERA_TSE) + +2. Driver parameters list +========================= + + - debug: message level (0: no output, 16: all); + - dma_rx_num: Number of descriptors in the RX list (default is 64); + - dma_tx_num: Number of descriptors in the TX list (default is 64). + +3. Command line options +======================= + +Driver parameters can be also passed in command line by using:: + + altera_tse=dma_rx_num:128,dma_tx_num:512 + +4. Driver information and notes +=============================== + +4.1. Transmit process +--------------------- +When the driver's transmit routine is called by the kernel, it sets up a +transmit descriptor by calling the underlying DMA transmit routine (SGDMA or +MSGDMA), and initiates a transmit operation. Once the transmit is complete, an +interrupt is driven by the transmit DMA logic. The driver handles the transmit +completion in the context of the interrupt handling chain by recycling +resource required to send and track the requested transmit operation. + +4.2. Receive process +-------------------- +The driver will post receive buffers to the receive DMA logic during driver +initialization. Receive buffers may or may not be queued depending upon the +underlying DMA logic (MSGDMA is able queue receive buffers, SGDMA is not able +to queue receive buffers to the SGDMA receive logic). When a packet is +received, the DMA logic generates an interrupt. The driver handles a receive +interrupt by obtaining the DMA receive logic status, reaping receive +completions until no more receive completions are available. + +4.3. Interrupt Mitigation +------------------------- +The driver is able to mitigate the number of its DMA interrupts +using NAPI for receive operations. Interrupt mitigation is not yet supported +for transmit operations, but will be added in a future maintenance release. + +4.4) Ethtool support +-------------------- +Ethtool is supported. Driver statistics and internal errors can be taken using: +ethtool -S ethX command. It is possible to dump registers etc. + +4.5) PHY Support +---------------- +The driver is compatible with PAL to work with PHY and GPHY devices. + +4.7) List of source files: +-------------------------- + - Kconfig + - Makefile + - altera_tse_main.c: main network device driver + - altera_tse_ethtool.c: ethtool support + - altera_tse.h: private driver structure and common definitions + - altera_msgdma.h: MSGDMA implementation function definitions + - altera_sgdma.h: SGDMA implementation function definitions + - altera_msgdma.c: MSGDMA implementation + - altera_sgdma.c: SGDMA implementation + - altera_sgdmahw.h: SGDMA register and descriptor definitions + - altera_msgdmahw.h: MSGDMA register and descriptor definitions + - altera_utils.c: Driver utility functions + - altera_utils.h: Driver utility function definitions + +5. Debug Information +==================== + +The driver exports debug information such as internal statistics, +debug information, MAC and DMA registers etc. + +A user may use the ethtool support to get statistics: +e.g. using: ethtool -S ethX (that shows the statistics counters) +or sees the MAC registers: e.g. using: ethtool -d ethX + +The developer can also use the "debug" module parameter to get +further debug information. + +6. Statistics Support +===================== + +The controller and driver support a mix of IEEE standard defined statistics, +RFC defined statistics, and driver or Altera defined statistics. The four +specifications containing the standard definitions for these statistics are +as follows: + + - IEEE 802.3-2012 - IEEE Standard for Ethernet. + - RFC 2863 found at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2863.txt. + - RFC 2819 found at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2819.txt. + - Altera Triple Speed Ethernet User Guide, found at http://www.altera.com + +The statistics supported by the TSE and the device driver are as follows: + +"tx_packets" is equivalent to aFramesTransmittedOK defined in IEEE 802.3-2012, +Section 5.2.2.1.2.

The board is a single attachment station and +it was manufactured in two variations, both of which are supported. + +First is the SAS MMF DEFZA-AA option, the original design implementing +the standard MMF-PMD, however with a pair of ST connectors rather than +the usual MIC connector. The other one is the SAS ThinWire/STP DEFZA-CA +option, denoted 700-C, with the network medium selectable by a switch +between the DEC proprietary ThinWire-PMD using a BNC connector and the +standard STP-PMD using a DE-9F connector. This option can interface to +a DECconcentrator 500 device and, in the case of the STP-PMD, also other +FDDI equipment and was designed to make it easier to transition from +existing IEEE 802.3 10BASE2 Ethernet and IEEE 802.5 Token Ring networks +by providing means to reuse existing cabling. + +This driver handles any number of cards installed in a single system. +They get fddi0, fddi1, etc. interface names assigned in the order of +increasing TURBOchannel slot numbers. + +The board only supports DMA on the receive side. Transmission involves +the use of PIO. As a result under a heavy transmission load there will +be a significant impact on system performance. + +The board supports a 64-entry CAM for matching destination addresses. +Two entries are preoccupied by the Directed Beacon and Ring Purger +multicast addresses and the rest is used as a multicast filter. An +all-multi mode is also supported for LLC frames and it is used if +requested explicitly or if the CAM overflows.

With this new SMT version, the yellow + LED works as a ring operational indicator. An active yellow LED + indicates that the ring is down. The green LED on the adapter now + works as a link indicator where an active GREEN LED indicates that + the respective port has a physical connection. + + With versions of SMT prior to v2.82 a ring up was indicated if the + yellow LED was off while the green LED(s) showed the connection + status of the adapter.

Its devices + are called bcsh0 through bcsh3. Use this driver only if baycom_ser_fdx + does not work with your UART. + +baycom_par: + This driver supports the par96 and picpar modems. + Its devices are called bcp0 through bcp3. + +baycom_epp: + This driver supports the EPP modem. + Its devices are called bce0 through bce3. + This driver is work-in-progress. + +The following modems are supported: + +======= ======================================================================== +ser12 This is a very simple 1200 baud AFSK modem. The modem consists only + of a modulator/demodulator chip, usually a TI TCM3105. The computer + is responsible for regenerating the receiver bit clock, as well as + for handling the HDLC protocol. The modem connects to a serial port, + hence the name. Since the serial port is not used as an async serial + port, the kernel driver for serial ports cannot be used, and this + driver only supports standard serial hardware (8250, 16450, 16550) + +par96 This is a modem for 9600 baud FSK compatible to the G3RUH standard. + The modem does all the filtering and regenerates the receiver clock. + Data is transferred from and to the PC via a shift register. + The shift register is filled with 16 bits and an interrupt is signalled. + The PC then empties the shift register in a burst. This modem connects + to the parallel port, hence the name. The modem leaves the + implementation of the HDLC protocol and the scrambler polynomial to + the PC. + +picpar This is a redesign of the par96 modem by Henning Rech, DF9IC. The modem + is protocol compatible to par96, but uses only three low power ICs + and can therefore be fed from the parallel port and does not require + an additional power supply. Furthermore, it incorporates a carrier + detect circuitry. + +EPP This is a high-speed modem adaptor that connects to an enhanced parallel + port. + + Its target audience is users working over a high speed hub (76.8kbit/s). + +eppfpga This is a redesign of the EPP adaptor. +======= ======================================================================== + +All of the above modems only support half duplex communications. However, +the driver supports the KISS (see below) fullduplex command. It then simply +starts to send as soon as there's a packet to transmit and does not care +about DCD, i.e. it starts to send even if there's someone else on the channel. +This command is required by some implementations of the DAMA channel +access protocol. + + +The Interface of the drivers +============================ + +Unlike previous drivers, these drivers are no longer character devices, +but they are now true kernel network interfaces. Installation is therefore +simple. Once installed, four interfaces named bc{sf,sh,p,e}[0-3] are available. +sethdlc from the ax25 utilities may be used to set driver states etc. +Users of userland AX.25 stacks may use the net2kiss utility (also available +in the ax25 utilities package) to convert packets of a network interface +to a KISS stream on a pseudo tty. There's also a patch available from +me for WAMPES which allows attaching a kernel network interface directly. + + +Configuring the driver +====================== + +Every time a driver is inserted into the kernel, it has to know which +modems it should access at which ports. This can be done with the setbaycom +utility. If you are only using one modem, you can also configure the +driver from the insmod command line (or by means of an option line in +``/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf``). + +Examples:: + + modprobe baycom_ser_fdx mode="ser12*" iobase=0x3f8 irq=4 + sethdlc -i bcsf0 -p mode "ser12*" io 0x3f8 irq 4 + +Both lines configure the first port to drive a ser12 modem at the first +serial port (COM1 under DOS). The * in the mode parameter instructs the driver +to use the software DCD algorithm (see below):: + + insmod baycom_par mode="picpar" iobase=0x378 + sethdlc -i bcp0 -p mode "picpar" io 0x378 + +Both lines configure the first port to drive a picpar modem at the +first parallel port (LPT1 under DOS). (Note: picpar implies +hardware DCD, par96 implies software DCD). + +The channel access parameters can be set with sethdlc -a or kissparms. +Note that both utilities interpret the values slightly differently. + + +Hardware DCD versus Software DCD +================================ + +To avoid collisions on the air, the driver must know when the channel is +busy. This is the task of the DCD circuitry/software. The driver may either +utilise a software DCD algorithm (options=1) or use a DCD signal from +the hardware (options=0). + +======= ================================================================= +ser12 if software DCD is utilised, the radio's squelch should always be + open. It is highly recommended to use the software DCD algorithm, + as it is much faster than most hardware squelch circuitry. The + disadvantage is a slightly higher load on the system. + +par96 the software DCD algorithm for this type of modem is rather poor. + The modem simply does not provide enough information to implement + a reasonable DCD algorithm in software. Therefore, if your radio + feeds the DCD input of the PAR96 modem, the use of the hardware + DCD circuitry is recommended. + +picpar the picpar modem features a builtin DCD hardware, which is highly + recommended. +======= ================================================================= + + + +Compatibility with the rest of the Linux kernel +=============================================== + +The serial driver and the baycom serial drivers compete +for the same hardware resources. Of course only one driver can access a given +interface at a time. The serial driver grabs all interfaces it can find at +startup time. Therefore the baycom drivers subsequently won't be able to +access a serial port. You might therefore find it necessary to release +a port owned by the serial driver with 'setserial /dev/ttyS# uart none', where +# is the number of the interface. The baycom drivers do not reserve any +ports at startup, unless one is specified on the 'insmod' command line. Another +method to solve the problem is to compile all drivers as modules and +leave it to kmod to load the correct driver depending on the application. + +The parallel port drivers (baycom_par, baycom_epp) now use the parport subsystem +to arbitrate the ports between different client drivers. + +vy 73s de + +Tom Sailer, sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch + +hb9jnx @ hb9w.ampr.org diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/hamradio/index.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/hamradio/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..7e731732057b --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/hamradio/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +..

Attach each channel to the Linux kernel AX.25 with "ifconfig" + +Unlike the versions below 2.4 this driver is a real network device +driver. If you want to run xNOS instead of our fine kernel AX.25 +use a 2.x version (available from above sites) or read the +AX.25-HOWTO on how to emulate a KISS TNC on network device drivers. + + +1.1 Loading the module +====================== + +(If you're going to compile the driver as a part of the kernel image, + skip this chapter and continue with 1.2) + +Before you can use a module, you'll have to load it with:: + + insmod scc.o + +please read 'man insmod' that comes with module-init-tools. + +You should include the insmod in one of the /etc/rc.d/rc.* files, +and don't forget to insert a call of sccinit after that. It +will read your /etc/z8530drv.conf. + +1.2. /etc/z8530drv.conf +======================= + +To setup all parameters you must run /sbin/sccinit from one +of your rc.*-files. This has to be done BEFORE you can +"ifconfig" an interface. Sccinit reads the file /etc/z8530drv.conf +and sets the hardware, MODEM and KISS parameters. A sample file is +delivered with this package. Change it to your needs. + +The file itself consists of two main sections. + +1.2.1 configuration of hardware parameters +========================================== + +The hardware setup section defines the following parameters for each +Z8530:: + + chip 1 + data_a 0x300 # data port A + ctrl_a 0x304 # control port A + data_b 0x301 # data port B + ctrl_b 0x305 # control port B + irq 5 # IRQ No. 5 + pclock 4915200 # clock + board BAYCOM # hardware type + escc no # enhanced SCC chip?

Different chips can use different + IRQs or the same. If they share an interrupt, it needs to be + specified within one chip-definition only. + +pclock - the clock at the PCLK pin of the Z8530 (option, 4915200 is + default), measured in Hertz + +board + - the "type" of the board: + + ======================= ======== + SCC type value + ======================= ======== + PA0HZP SCC card PA0HZP + EAGLE card EAGLE + PC100 card PC100 + PRIMUS-PC (DG9BL) card PRIMUS + BayCom (U)SCC card BAYCOM + ======================= ======== + +escc + - if you want support for ESCC chips (8580, 85180, 85280), set + this to "yes" (option, defaults to "no") + +vector + - address of the vector latch (aka "intack port") for PA0HZP + cards.

Use "mode dpll" for clock source (see below). + +This is based on information provided by Mike Bilow (and verified +by Paul Helay) + +The utility "gencfg" +-------------------- + +If you only know the parameters for the PE1CHL driver for DOS, +run gencfg. It will generate the correct port addresses (I hope). +Its parameters are exactly the same as the ones you use with +the "attach scc" command in net, except that the string "init" must +not appear. Example:: + + gencfg 2 0x150 4 2 0 1 0x168 9 4915200 + +will print a skeleton z8530drv.conf for the OptoSCC to stdout. + +:: + + gencfg 2 0x300 2 4 5 -4 0 7 4915200 0x10 + +does the same for the BAYCOM USCC card. In my opinion it is much easier +to edit scc_config.h... + + +1.2.2 channel configuration +=========================== + +The channel definition is divided into three sub sections for each +channel: + +An example for scc0:: + + # DEVICE + + device scc0 # the device for the following params + + # MODEM / BUFFERS + + speed 1200 # the default baudrate + clock dpll # clock source: + # dpll = normal half duplex operation + # external = MODEM provides own Rx/Tx clock + # divider = use full duplex divider if + # installed (1) + mode nrzi # HDLC encoding mode + # nrzi = 1k2 MODEM, G3RUH 9k6 MODEM + # nrz = DF9IC 9k6 MODEM + # + bufsize 384 # size of buffers. Note that this must include + # the AX.25 header, not only the data field! + # (optional, defaults to 384) + + # KISS (Layer 1) + + txdelay 36 # (see chapter 1.4) + persist 64 + slot 8 + tail 8 + fulldup 0 + wait 12 + min 3 + maxkey 7 + idle 3 + maxdef 120 + group 0 + txoff off + softdcd on + slip off + +The order WITHIN these sections is unimportant. The order OF these +sections IS important. The MODEM parameters are set with the first +recognized KISS parameter... + +Please note that you can initialize the board only once after boot +(or insmod). You can change all parameters but "mode" and "clock" +later with the Sccparam program or through KISS. Just to avoid +security holes... + +(1) this divider is usually mounted on the SCC-PBC (PA0HZP) or not + present at all (BayCom). It feeds back the output of the DPLL + (digital pll) as transmit clock. Using this mode without a divider + installed will normally result in keying the transceiver until + maxkey expires --- of course without sending anything (useful). + +2. Attachment of a channel by your AX.25 software +================================================= + +2.1 Kernel AX.25 +================ + +To set up an AX.25 device you can simply type:: + + ifconfig scc0 44.128.1.1 hw ax25 dl0tha-7 + +This will create a network interface with the IP number 44.128.20.107 +and the callsign "dl0tha". If you do not have any IP number (yet) you +can use any of the 44.128.0.0 network. Note that you do not need +axattach. The purpose of axattach (like slattach) is to create a KISS +network device linked to a TTY. Please read the documentation of the +ax25-utils and the AX.25-HOWTO to learn how to set the parameters of +the kernel AX.25. + +2.2 NOS, NET and TFKISS +======================= + +Since the TTY driver (aka KISS TNC emulation) is gone you need +to emulate the old behaviour. The cost of using these programs is +that you probably need to compile the kernel AX.25, regardless of whether +you actually use it or not. First setup your /etc/ax25/axports, +for example:: + + 9k6 dl0tha-9 9600 255 4 9600 baud port (scc3) + axlink dl0tha-15 38400 255 4 Link to NOS + +Now "ifconfig" the scc device:: + + ifconfig scc3 44.128.1.1 hw ax25 dl0tha-9 + +You can now axattach a pseudo-TTY:: + + axattach /dev/ptys0 axlink + +and start your NOS and attach /dev/ptys0 there. The problem is that +NOS is reachable only via digipeating through the kernel AX.25 +(disastrous on a DAMA controlled channel). To solve this problem, +configure "rxecho" to echo the incoming frames from "9k6" to "axlink" +and outgoing frames from "axlink" to "9k6" and start:: + + rxecho + +Or simply use "kissbridge" coming with z8530drv-utils:: + + ifconfig scc3 hw ax25 dl0tha-9 + kissbridge scc3 /dev/ptys0 + + +3. Adjustment and Display of parameters +======================================= + +3.1 Displaying SCC Parameters: +============================== + +Once a SCC channel has been attached, the parameter settings and +some statistic information can be shown using the param program:: + + dl1bke-u:~$ sccstat scc0 + + Parameters: + + speed : 1200 baud + txdelay : 36 + persist : 255 + slottime : 0 + txtail : 8 + fulldup : 1 + waittime : 12 + mintime : 3 sec + maxkeyup : 7 sec + idletime : 3 sec + maxdefer : 120 sec + group : 0x00 + txoff : off + softdcd : on + SLIP : off + + Status: + + HDLC Z8530 Interrupts Buffers + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + Sent : 273 RxOver : 0 RxInts : 125074 Size : 384 + Received : 1095 TxUnder: 0 TxInts : 4684 NoSpace : 0 + RxErrors : 1591 ExInts : 11776 + TxErrors : 0 SpInts : 1503 + Tx State : idle + + +The status info shown is: + +============== ============================================================== +Sent number of frames transmitted +Received number of frames received +RxErrors number of receive errors (CRC, ABORT) +TxErrors number of discarded Tx frames (due to various reasons) +Tx State status of the Tx interrupt handler: idle/busy/active/tail (2) +RxOver number of receiver overruns +TxUnder number of transmitter underruns +RxInts number of receiver interrupts +TxInts number of transmitter interrupts +EpInts number of receiver special condition interrupts +SpInts number of external/status interrupts +Size maximum size of an AX.25 frame (*with* AX.25 headers!) +NoSpace number of times a buffer could not get allocated +============== ============================================================== + +An overrun is abnormal. If lots of these occur, the product of +baudrate and number of interfaces is too high for the processing +power of your computer. NoSpace errors are unlikely to be caused by the +driver or the kernel AX.25. + + +3.2 Setting Parameters +====================== + + +The setting of parameters of the emulated KISS TNC is done in the +same way in the SCC driver. You can change parameters by using +the kissparms program from the ax25-utils package or use the program +"sccparam":: + + sccparam <device> <paramname> <decimal-|hexadecimal value> + +You can change the following parameters: + +=========== ===== +param value +=========== ===== +speed 1200 +txdelay 36 +persist 255 +slottime 0 +txtail 8 +fulldup 1 +waittime 12 +mintime 3 +maxkeyup 7 +idletime 3 +maxdefer 120 +group 0x00 +txoff off +softdcd on +SLIP off +=========== ===== + + +The parameters have the following meaning: + +speed: + The baudrate on this channel in bits/sec + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc3 speed 9600 + +txdelay: + The delay (in units of 10 ms) after keying of the + transmitter, until the first byte is sent. This is usually + called "TXDELAY" in a TNC. When 0 is specified, the driver + will just wait until the CTS signal is asserted. This + assumes the presence of a timer or other circuitry in the + MODEM and/or transmitter, that asserts CTS when the + transmitter is ready for data. + A normal value of this parameter is 30-36. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc0 txd 20 + +persist: + This is the probability that the transmitter will be keyed + when the channel is found to be free. It is a value from 0 + to 255, and the probability is (value+1)/256. The value + should be somewhere near 50-60, and should be lowered when + the channel is used more heavily. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc2 persist 20 + +slottime: + This is the time between samples of the channel. It is + expressed in units of 10 ms. About 200-300 ms (value 20-30) + seems to be a good value. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc0 slot 20 + +tail: + The time the transmitter will remain keyed after the last + byte of a packet has been transferred to the SCC. This is + necessary because the CRC and a flag still have to leave the + SCC before the transmitter is keyed down. The value depends + on the baudrate selected. A few character times should be + sufficient, e.g. 40ms at 1200 baud. (value 4) + The value of this parameter is in 10 ms units. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc2 4 + +full: + The full-duplex mode switch. This can be one of the following + values: + + 0: The interface will operate in CSMA mode (the normal + half-duplex packet radio operation) + 1: Fullduplex mode, i.e. the transmitter will be keyed at + any time, without checking the received carrier. It + will be unkeyed when there are no packets to be sent. + 2: Like 1, but the transmitter will remain keyed, also + when there are no packets to be sent. Flags will be + sent in that case, until a timeout (parameter 10) + occurs. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc0 fulldup off + +wait: + The initial waittime before any transmit attempt, after the + frame has been queue for transmit. This is the length of + the first slot in CSMA mode. In full duplex modes it is + set to 0 for maximum performance. + The value of this parameter is in 10 ms units. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc1 wait 4 + +maxkey: + The maximal time the transmitter will be keyed to send + packets, in seconds. This can be useful on busy CSMA + channels, to avoid "getting a bad reputation" when you are + generating a lot of traffic. After the specified time has + elapsed, no new frame will be started. Instead, the trans- + mitter will be switched off for a specified time (parameter + min), and then the selected algorithm for keyup will be + started again. + The value 0 as well as "off" will disable this feature, + and allow infinite transmission time. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc0 maxk 20 + +min: + This is the time the transmitter will be switched off when + the maximum transmission time is exceeded. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc3 min 10 + +idle: + This parameter specifies the maximum idle time in full duplex + 2 mode, in seconds. When no frames have been sent for this + time, the transmitter will be keyed down. A value of 0 is + has same result as the fullduplex mode 1. This parameter + can be disabled. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc2 idle off # transmit forever + +maxdefer + This is the maximum time (in seconds) to wait for a free channel + to send. When this timer expires the transmitter will be keyed + IMMEDIATELY. If you love to get trouble with other users you + should set this to a very low value ;-) + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc0 maxdefer 240 # 2 minutes + + +txoff: + When this parameter has the value 0, the transmission of packets + is enable. Otherwise it is disabled. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc2 txoff on + +group: + It is possible to build special radio equipment to use more than + one frequency on the same band, e.g. using several receivers and + only one transmitter that can be switched between frequencies. + Also, you can connect several radios that are active on the same + band. In these cases, it is not possible, or not a good idea, to + transmit on more than one frequency. The SCC driver provides a + method to lock transmitters on different interfaces, using the + "param <interface> group <x>" command. This will only work when + you are using CSMA mode (parameter full = 0). + + The number <x> must be 0 if you want no group restrictions, and + can be computed as follows to create restricted groups: + <x> is the sum of some OCTAL numbers: + + + === ======================================================= + 200 This transmitter will only be keyed when all other + transmitters in the group are off. + 100 This transmitter will only be keyed when the carrier + detect of all other interfaces in the group is off. + 0xx A byte that can be used to define different groups. + Interfaces are in the same group, when the logical AND + between their xx values is nonzero. + === ======================================================= + + Examples: + + When 2 interfaces use group 201, their transmitters will never be + keyed at the same time. + + When 2 interfaces use group 101, the transmitters will only key + when both channels are clear at the same time. When group 301, + the transmitters will not be keyed at the same time. + + Don't forget to convert the octal numbers into decimal before + you set the parameter. + + Example: (to be written) + +softdcd: + use a software dcd instead of the real one... Useful for a very + slow squelch. + + Example: sccparam /dev/scc0 soft on + + +4. Problems +=========== + +If you have tx-problems with your BayCom USCC card please check +the manufacturer of the 8530. SGS chips have a slightly +different timing. Try Zilog... A solution is to write to register 8 +instead to the data port, but this won't work with the ESCC chips. +*SIGH!* + +A very common problem is that the PTT locks until the maxkeyup timer +expires, although interrupts and clock source are correct. In most +cases compiling the driver with CONFIG_SCC_DELAY (set with +make config) solves the problems. For more hints read the (pseudo) FAQ +and the documentation coming with z8530drv-utils. + +I got reports that the driver has problems on some 386-based systems. +(i.e. Amstrad) Those systems have a bogus AT bus timing which will +lead to delayed answers on interrupts. You can recognize these +problems by looking at the output of Sccstat for the suspected +port.

The kernel provides a +core interface layer that is designed to make it easy to provide WAN +services using this chip. + +The current driver only support synchronous operation. Merging the +asynchronous driver support into this code to allow any Z85x30 device to +be used as both a tty interface and as a synchronous controller is a +project for Linux post the 2.4 release + +Driver Modes +============ + +The Z85230 driver layer can drive Z8530, Z85C30 and Z85230 devices in +three different modes. Each mode can be applied to an individual channel +on the chip (each chip has two channels). + +The PIO synchronous mode supports the most common Z8530 wiring. Here the +chip is interface to the I/O and interrupt facilities of the host +machine but not to the DMA subsystem. When running PIO the Z8530 has +extremely tight timing requirements. Doing high speeds, even with a +Z85230 will be tricky. Typically you should expect to achieve at best +9600 baud with a Z8C530 and 64Kbits with a Z85230. + +The DMA mode supports the chip when it is configured to use dual DMA +channels on an ISA bus. The better cards tend to support this mode of +operation for a single channel. With DMA running the Z85230 tops out +when it starts to hit ISA DMA constraints at about 512Kbits. It is worth +noting here that many PC machines hang or crash when the chip is driven +fast enough to hold the ISA bus solid. + +Transmit DMA mode uses a single DMA channel. The DMA channel is used for +transmission as the transmit FIFO is smaller than the receive FIFO. it +gives better performance than pure PIO mode but is nowhere near as ideal +as pure DMA mode. + +Using the Z85230 driver +======================= + +The Z85230 driver provides the back end interface to your board. To +configure a Z8530 interface you need to detect the board and to identify +its ports and interrupt resources. It is also your problem to verify the +resources are available. + +Having identified the chip you need to fill in a struct z8530_dev, +which describes each chip. This object must exist until you finally +shutdown the board. Firstly zero the active field. This ensures nothing +goes off without you intending it. The irq field should be set to the +interrupt number of the chip. (Each chip has a single interrupt source +rather than each channel). You are responsible for allocating the +interrupt line. The interrupt handler should be set to +:c:func:`z8530_interrupt()`. The device id should be set to the +z8530_dev structure pointer. Whether the interrupt can be shared or not +is board dependent, and up to you to initialise. + +The structure holds two channel structures. Initialise chanA.ctrlio and +chanA.dataio with the address of the control and data ports. You can or +this with Z8530_PORT_SLEEP to indicate your interface needs the 5uS +delay for chip settling done in software. The PORT_SLEEP option is +architecture specific. Other flags may become available on future +platforms, eg for MMIO. Initialise the chanA.irqs to &z8530_nop to +start the chip up as disabled and discarding interrupt events. This +ensures that stray interrupts will be mopped up and not hang the bus. +Set chanA.dev to point to the device structure itself. The private and +name field you may use as you wish. The private field is unused by the +Z85230 layer. The name is used for error reporting and it may thus make +sense to make it match the network name. + +Repeat the same operation with the B channel if your chip has both +channels wired to something useful. This isn't always the case. If it is +not wired then the I/O values do not matter, but you must initialise +chanB.dev. + +If your board has DMA facilities then initialise the txdma and rxdma +fields for the relevant channels. You must also allocate the ISA DMA +channels and do any necessary board level initialisation to configure +them. The low level driver will do the Z8530 and DMA controller +programming but not board specific magic. + +Having initialised the device you can then call +:c:func:`z8530_init()`. This will probe the chip and reset it into +a known state. An identification sequence is then run to identify the +chip type. If the checks fail to pass the function returns a non zero +error code. Typically this indicates that the port given is not valid. +After this call the type field of the z8530_dev structure is +initialised to either Z8530, Z85C30 or Z85230 according to the chip +found. + +Once you have called z8530_init you can also make use of the utility +function :c:func:`z8530_describe()`. This provides a consistent +reporting format for the Z8530 devices, and allows all the drivers to +provide consistent reporting. + +Attaching Network Interfaces +============================ + +If you wish to use the network interface facilities of the driver, then +you need to attach a network device to each channel that is present and +in use. In addition to use the generic HDLC you need to follow some +additional plumbing rules. They may seem complex but a look at the +example hostess_sv11 driver should reassure you. + +The network device used for each channel should be pointed to by the +netdevice field of each channel. The hdlc-> priv field of the network +device points to your private data - you will need to be able to find +your private data from this. + +The way most drivers approach this particular problem is to create a +structure holding the Z8530 device definition and put that into the +private field of the network device. The network device fields of the +channels then point back to the network devices. + +If you wish to use the generic HDLC then you need to register the HDLC +device. + +Before you register your network device you will also need to provide +suitable handlers for most of the network device callbacks. See the +network device documentation for more details on this. + +Configuring And Activating The Port +=================================== + +The Z85230 driver provides helper functions and tables to load the port +registers on the Z8530 chips. When programming the register settings for +a channel be aware that the documentation recommends initialisation +orders. Strange things happen when these are not followed. + +:c:func:`z8530_channel_load()` takes an array of pairs of +initialisation values in an array of u8 type. The first value is the +Z8530 register number. Add 16 to indicate the alternate register bank on +the later chips. The array is terminated by a 255. + +The driver provides a pair of public tables. The z8530_hdlc_kilostream +table is for the UK 'Kilostream' service and also happens to cover most +other end host configurations. The z8530_hdlc_kilostream_85230 table +is the same configuration using the enhancements of the 85230 chip. The +configuration loaded is standard NRZ encoded synchronous data with HDLC +bitstuffing. All of the timing is taken from the other end of the link. + +When writing your own tables be aware that the driver internally tracks +register values. It may need to reload values. You should therefore be +sure to set registers 1-7, 9-11, 14 and 15 in all configurations. Where +the register settings depend on DMA selection the driver will update the +bits itself when you open or close. Loading a new table with the +interface open is not recommended. + +There are three standard configurations supported by the core code. In +PIO mode the interface is programmed up to use interrupt driven PIO. +This places high demands on the host processor to avoid latency. The +driver is written to take account of latency issues but it cannot avoid +latencies caused by other drivers, notably IDE in PIO mode. Because the +drivers allocate buffers you must also prevent MTU changes while the +port is open. + +Once the port is open it will call the rx_function of each channel +whenever a completed packet arrived. This is invoked from interrupt +context and passes you the channel and a network buffer (struct +sk_buff) holding the data. The data includes the CRC bytes so most +users will want to trim the last two bytes before processing the data. +This function is very timing critical. When you wish to simply discard +data the support code provides the function +:c:func:`z8530_null_rx()` to discard the data. + +To active PIO mode sending and receiving the ``z8530_sync_open`` is called. +This expects to be passed the network device and the channel. Typically +this is called from your network device open callback. On a failure a +non zero error status is returned. +The :c:func:`z8530_sync_close()` function shuts down a PIO +channel. This must be done before the channel is opened again and before +the driver shuts down and unloads. + +The ideal mode of operation is dual channel DMA mode. Here the kernel +driver will configure the board for DMA in both directions. The driver +also handles ISA DMA issues such as controller programming and the +memory range limit for you. This mode is activated by calling the +:c:func:`z8530_sync_dma_open()` function. On failure a non zero +error value is returned. Once this mode is activated it can be shut down +by calling the :c:func:`z8530_sync_dma_close()`. You must call +the close function matching the open mode you used. + +The final supported mode uses a single DMA channel to drive the transmit +side. As the Z85C30 has a larger FIFO on the receive channel this tends +to increase the maximum speed a little. This is activated by calling the +``z8530_sync_txdma_open``. This returns a non zero error code on failure. The +:c:func:`z8530_sync_txdma_close()` function closes down the Z8530 +interface from this mode. + +Network Layer Functions +======================= + +The Z8530 layer provides functions to queue packets for transmission. +The driver internally buffers the frame currently being transmitted and +one further frame (in order to keep back to back transmission running). +Any further buffering is up to the caller. + +The function :c:func:`z8530_queue_xmit()` takes a network buffer +in sk_buff format and queues it for transmission. The caller must +provide the entire packet with the exception of the bitstuffing and CRC. +This is normally done by the caller via the generic HDLC interface +layer. It returns 0 if the buffer has been queued and non zero values +for queue full. If the function accepts the buffer it becomes property +of the Z8530 layer and the caller should not free it. + +The function :c:func:`z8530_get_stats()` returns a pointer to an +internally maintained per interface statistics block. This provides most +of the interface code needed to implement the network layer get_stats +callback. + +Porting The Z8530 Driver +======================== + +The Z8530 driver is written to be portable. In DMA mode it makes +assumptions about the use of ISA DMA. These are probably warranted in +most cases as the Z85230 in particular was designed to glue to PC type +machines. The PIO mode makes no real assumptions. + +Should you need to retarget the Z8530 driver to another architecture the +only code that should need changing are the port I/O functions. At the +moment these assume PC I/O port accesses. This may not be appropriate +for all platforms. Replacing :c:func:`z8530_read_port()` and +``z8530_write_port`` is intended to be all that is required to port +this driver layer. + +Known Bugs And Assumptions +========================== + +Interrupt Locking + The locking in the driver is done via the global cli/sti lock. This + makes for relatively poor SMP performance. Switching this to use a + per device spin lock would probably materially improve performance. + +Occasional Failures + We have reports of occasional failures when run for very long + periods of time and the driver starts to receive junk frames. At the + moment the cause of this is not clear. + +Public Functions Provided +========================= + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/wan/z85230.c + :export: + +Internal Functions +================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/wan/z85230.c + :internal: diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wifi/index.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wifi/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..bf91a87c7acf --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wifi/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,20 @@ +..
