AHD(4)

NAME
ahd - Adaptec PCI/PCI-X AIC79xx-based Ultra320 SCSI interface

SYNOPSIS
ahd* at pci?

DESCRIPTION
ahd provides access to the SCSI bus(es) connected to Adaptec AIC79xx host adapter chips.

ahd supports narrow and wide buses; synchronous and asynchronous operation; fast, ultra, ultra2, ultra160, and ultra320 (packetized) transfers; tagged queuing and 512 SCBs.

ahd does not support target mode operation.

The ahd driver supports the following:

•   Adaptec AIC7901 host adapter chip
•   Adaptec AIC7901A host adapter chip
•   Adaptec AIC7902 host adapter chip
•   Adaptec 29320 host adapter
•   Adaptec 39320 host adapter
•   Many motherboards with on-board SCSI support

To compile in debugging code:

option AHD_DEBUG option AHD_DEBUG_OPTS=<bitmask of options>

The AHD_DEBUG_OPTS option is used to control which diagnostic messages are printed to the console when AHD_DEBUG is enabled. Logically OR the following bits together:
Value | Function
0x0001 | Show miscellaneous information
0x0002 | Show sense data
0x0004 | Show Serial EEPROM contents
0x0008 | Show bus termination settings
0x0010 | Show host memory usage
0x0020 | Show SCSI protocol messages
0x0040 | Show mode pointer of the chip register window
0x0080 | Show selection timeouts
0x0100 | Show FIFO usage messages
0x0200 | Show Queue Full status
0x0400 | Show SCB queue status
0x0800 | Show inbound packet information
0x1000 | Show S/G list information
0x2000 | Enable extra diagnostic code in the firmware

Per target configuration performed in the SCSI-Select menu, accessible at boot, is honored by this driver. This includes synchronous/asynchronous transfers, maximum synchronous negotiation rate, wide transfers, disconnection, and the host adapters SCSI ID.
