NAME
gtsc —
GVP low level SCSI
interface
SYNOPSIS
gtsc0 at gvpbus0
DESCRIPTION
The Amiga architecture uses a common machine independent scsi sub-system
provided in the kernel source. The machine independent drivers that use this
code access the hardware through a common interface. (see
scsibus(4)) This common
interface interacts with a machine dependent interface, such as
gtsc, which then handles the hardware specific issues.
The
gtsc interface handles things such as DMA and interrupts
as well as actually sending commands, negotiating synchronous or asynchronous
transfers and handling disconnect/reconnect of SCSI targets. The hardware that
gtsc uses is based on the WD33c93 SCSI chip.
DIAGNOSTICS
- sbicwait TIMEO @%d with asr=x%x
csr=x%x
- The 33c93 code (sbic) has been waiting too long for a SCSI
chip operation to complete. %d is the line in the source file
amiga/dev/sbic.c at which the SCSI chip timed-out. Asr
and csr are status registers within the SCSI chip.
- gtsc%d: abort %s: csr = 0x%02x, asr =
0x%02x
- A SCSI operation %s was aborted due to an error.
- gtsc%d: csr == 0x%02i
- A error has occurred within the SCSI chip code.
- gtsc%d: unexpected phase %d in icmd
from %d
- The target described by ‘from %d’ has taken
the SCSI bus into a phase which is not expected during polled IO.
- gtsc%d: unexpected phase %d in icmd
from %d
- The target described by ‘from %d’ has taken
the SCSI bus into a phase which is not expected during DMA IO setup.
