ppbus microseqencer developer's guide
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd "#include <dev/ppbus/ppb_msq.h>"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
See
.Xr ppbus 4
for ppbus description and general info about the microsequencer.
.Pp
The purpose of this document is to encourage developers to use the
microsequencer mechanism in order to have:
.Bl -enum -offset indent
.It
a uniform programming model
.It
efficient code
.El
.Sh INTERFACE
.Ss C structures
.Bd -literal
union ppb_insarg {
int i;
char c;
void *p;
int (* f)(void *, char *);
};
.Ed
.Bd -literal
struct ppb_microseq {
int opcode; /* microins. opcode */
union ppb_insarg arg[PPB_MS_MAXARGS]; /* arguments */
};
.Ed
.Ss Using microsequences
.Pp
To instanciate a microsequence, just declare an array of ppb_microseq
structures and initialize it as needed. You may either use defined macros
or code directly your microinstructions according to the ppb_microseq
definition. For example,
.Bd -literal
struct ppb_microseq select_microseq[] = {
/* parameter list
*/
#define SELECT_TARGET MS_PARAM(0, 1, MS_TYP_INT)
#define SELECT_INITIATOR MS_PARAM(3, 1, MS_TYP_INT)
/* send the select command to the drive */
MS_DASS(MS_UNKNOWN),
MS_CASS(H_nAUTO | H_nSELIN | H_INIT | H_STROBE),
MS_CASS( H_AUTO | H_nSELIN | H_INIT | H_STROBE),
MS_DASS(MS_UNKNOWN),
MS_CASS( H_AUTO | H_nSELIN | H_nINIT | H_STROBE),
/* now, wait until the drive is ready */
MS_SET(VP0_SELTMO),
/* loop: */ MS_BRSET(H_ACK, 3 /* ready */),
MS_DBRA(-1 /* loop */),
/* error: */ MS_RET(1),
/* ready: */ MS_RET(0)
};
.Ed
.Pp
Here, some parameters are undefined and must be filled before executing
the microsequence. In order to initialize seach a microsequence, one should
use the ppb_MS_init_msq() function like this:
.Bd -literal
ppb_MS_init_msq(select_microseq, 2,
SELECT_TARGET, 1 << target,
SELECT_INITIATOR, 1 << initiator);
.Ed
.Pp
and then execute the microsequence.
.Ss The microsequencer
The microsequencer is executed either at ppbus or adapter level (see
.Xr ppbus 4
for info about ppbus system layers).
