1 GENERAL INFORMA TION Introduction The MVME147 MPU VMEmodule contains a port to the Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) bus. The hardware interface is the WD33C93 SCSI interface controller. To relieve you of having to follow SCS I bus protocol, the SCS I firmware allows you to pass commands to the bus through high le vel command packets.
GENERAL INFO RMATION 1-2 1 Interrupt mode is the most processor-efficien t mode of operation. Multitas king is allowed fo r TA RGETs that su pport a rbitration, res e lectio n, and the message-out phase. When using the interrupt mode, you must specify the interrupt level in the packet description (refer to the packet descriptions in Chapter 7) .

4 SCSI FIRMW A RE INTERRUPT STRUCTU RE SCSI Firm ware Interru pt Structure The SCSI interface firmwa re was designed for processo r efficiency. Whenever the SCSI bus is in a state that does not need monitoring, the f irmware releases the processor so it may perfor m other function s such as user tasks and lower priority events.
SCSI FI RMWAR E INTE RR UPT S TRUCTU RE 4-2 4 the REACTIVATION entry point of the SCSI firmware. The WAIT FOR INTERRUPT (OPE N) sta tus is usually given when a particula r TARGET is "threaded" to th e MVME147 on the SCSI bus, and is slow in tran sitioning between information tra nsfer phases.
5 WRITING A DRIVER Introduction This chapter covers information essential in writing a driver to support the SCSI interface in interrupt mode. A driver for non-interrupt mode is a trivi al subset of the interrupt mode driver. The approach taken is to describe the major sections of a driver that need to be w ritten.
WRITING A DRIVER 5-2 5 Return from the SCSI firmware to th e driver is done through the vector supplied in the packet. The VERSAdos driver uses vector $4E (offset $138), and tape driver uses vector $4D (offset $134). These vectors must be initialized to point to a driver ro utine which handles the return.
Interface Rules for the S CSI Fi rmware 5-3 5 information; it does imply that only one routine handles the exit conditions dictated by bit 13 of the s econd word in the user packet (also known as the status word).
WRITING A DRIVER 5-4 5 Command status processing is the result of a firm ware return to the vector specified in the command packet. If this decoupling exists, the command entry execution can only occur if the processor is not tied up performing SCSI firmware functions or perform ing command status functions.
Interface Rules for the S CSI Fi rmware 5-5 5 RTE required, or the RTE entry ($FFFE079A) RTE r equired as status code $xx04 abo ve. This intermediate status only happens when the TARGET ro le is enabled.
WRITING A DRIVER 5-6 5 IF BIT 13 IS SET THEN RETURN TO THE CALLER OF YOUR CODE THROUGH (command 1. AN RTS IF HE CA LLED YOU WITH A BSR/JSR thread) 2. AN RTE IF HE CA LLED YOU WITH A TRAP THAT REQUIRES AN RTE RETURN. ELSE: (bit 13 is cl ear) 1. RESTORE THE REGISTER SET POINTED TO BY A3.
Interface Rules for the S CSI Fi rmware 5-7 5 FUNNEL module queued the request an d returned to you w ith a $A002 intermediate status code. In or der for this packet to r esu me pr ocessing, the firmwar e sets the software interrupt to reenter the interrupt entry point ($FFFE0788) .
WRITING A DRIVER 5-8 5 error because if a subsequent co mmand is queued in the FUNNEL queue or the wait queue, no busy error is given. In average, a device could have on e packet in FUNNEL queue, four packets in wait queue, and an active command in attach table.

6 T ARGET ROLE ROUTINES Introduction According to SCSI definition s, an initiator is an SCSI device that initiates a command on the bus to be executed by the TARGET; a TARGET is an SCSI device that is selected by an initiator and executes what is requested by the initiator.
TARGET ROLE ROUTINE S 6-2 6 particular device on the SCSI bus. The in dexing is accom plish ed by simply splitting the 64 entries into 8 entries of 8 peripheral devices. Each block of eight devices correspond ed to each SCSI device. Th e MVME147 is one of these SCSI devices.

TARGET ROLE ROUTINE S 6-6 6 the user command table. The service of this command is pro vided by you. This service is provided by a custom SCSI sequen ce -- T ARGET sequence, which is described in the next section. IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: The TAR GET LUN is deciphered from the identify message sent immediately after the selection phase.
Servicing the TARGET Requests 6-7 6 service performed by the fir mware is now complete. Finishing some housekeeping, the firmware returns to the user service routine for the selected LUN and gives it a final status code of $ xx17.
TARGET ROLE ROUTINE S 6-8 6 The operation code of $0A is for the SEND command. The LUN should match the logical u nit for the MVME14 7 TARGET. The trans fer length tells you how many bytes are going to be excha nged during the data-out phase.
Servicing the TARGET Requests 6-9 6 STEP 3: Data Preparation a. Decode the transfer length fr om the command descriptor block an d load this length into the co mmand table wor ds $16 and $18 -- data length.
TARGET ROLE ROUTINE S 6-10 6 The operation code of $08 is for the R ECEIVE command. The L UN should match the logical unit for the MVME1 47 TARGET. The transfer len gth tells you how many bytes are going to be exchanged during the data-out phase. The flag and link bits should be treated in the sam e manner as for the SE ND command example abo ve.
Servicing the TARGET Requests 6-11 6 c. Decode the link and flag bits and store the proper message to be presented during the message-in phase into th e message-in buff er (pointed to by wor ds $20 an d $22 of t he comm and tabl e).
