.Dd June 6, 1998 .Dt MICROSEQ 9 .Os FreeBSD .Sh NAME .Nm microseq .Nd 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.

p The purpose of this document is to encourage developers to use the microsequencer mechanism in order to have: l -enum -offset indent t a uniform programming model t efficient code .El .Sh INTERFACE .Ss C structures d -literal union ppb_insarg { int i; char c; void *p; int (* f)(void *, char *); }; .Ed d -literal struct ppb_microseq { int opcode; /* microins. opcode */ union ppb_insarg arg[PPB_MS_MAXARGS]; /* arguments */ }; .Ed .Ss Using microsequences

p 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, d -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

p 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: d -literal ppb_MS_init_msq(select_microseq, 2, SELECT_TARGET, 1 << target, SELECT_INITIATOR, 1 << initiator); .Ed

p 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). .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ppbus 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm manual page first appeared in .Fx 3.0 . .Sh AUTHOR This manual page was written by .An Nicolas Souchu .
