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.
