ppbus microseqencer developer's guide
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd "#include <sys/types.h>"
.Fd "#include <dev/ppbus/ppbconf.h>"
.Fd "#include <dev/ppbus/ppb_msq.h>"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
See
.Xr ppbus 4
for ppbus description and general info about the microsequencer.
.Pp
The purpose of this document is to encourage developers to use the
microsequencer mechanism in order to have:
.Bl -enum -offset indent
.It
a uniform programming model
.It
efficient code
.El
.Pp
Before using microsequences, you are encouraged to look at
.Xr ppc 4
microsequencer implementation and an example of how using it in
.Xr vpo 4 .
.Sh PPBUS register model
.Ss Background
The parallel port model chosen for ppbus is the PC parallel port model.
Thus, any register described later has the same semantic than its counterpart
in a PC parallel port. For more info about ISA/ECP programming, get the
Microsoft standard referenced as "Extended Capabilities Port Protocol and
ISA interface Standard". Registers described later are standard parallel port
registers.
.Pp
Mask macros are defined in the standard ppbus include files for each valid
bit of parallel port registers.
.Ss Data register
In compatible or nibble mode, writing to this register will drive data to the
parallel port data lines. In any other mode, drivers may be tri-stated by
setting the direction bit (PCD) in the control register. Reads to this register
return the value on the data lines.
.Ss Device status register
This read-only register reflects the inputs on the parallel port interface.
.Pp
.Bl -column "Bit" "Name" "Description" -compact
.It Em Bit Ta Em Name Ta Em Description
.It 7 Ta nBUSY Ta "inverted version of parallel port Busy signal"
.It 6 Ta nACK Ta "version of parallel port nAck signal"
.It 5 Ta PERROR Ta "version of parallel port PERROR signal"
.It 4 Ta SELECT Ta "version of parallel port Select signal"
.It 3 Ta nFAULT Ta "version of parallel port nFault signal"
.El
.Pp
Others are reserved and return undefined result when read.
.Ss Device control register
This register directly controls several output signals as well as enabling
some functions.
.Pp
.Bl -column "Bit" "Name    " "Description" -compact
.It Em Bit Ta Em Name Ta Em Description
.It 5 Ta PCD Ta "direction bit in extended modes"
.It 4 Ta IRQENABLE Ta "1 enables an interrupt on the rising edge of nAck"
.It 3 Ta SELECTIN Ta "inverted and driven as parallel port nSelectin signal"
.It 2 Ta nINIT Ta "driven as parallel port nInit signal"
.It 1 Ta AUTOFEED Ta "inverted and driven as parallel port nAutoFd signal"
.It 0 Ta STROBE Ta "inverted and driven as parallel port nStrobe signal"
.El
.Sh MICROINSTRUCTIONS
.Ss Description
.Em Microinstructions
are either parallel port accesses, program iterations, submicrosequence or
C calls. The parallel port must be considered as the logical model described in

.Ss Execution context
The
.Em execution context
of microinstructions is:
.Bl -bullet -item -offset indent
.It
the
.Em program counter
which points to the next microinstruction to execute either in the main
microsequence or in a subcall

provide a very efficient control of the parallel port. Triggering a register
is writing data, wait a while, write data, wait a while... This allows to
write magic sequences to the port.

simplify and reduce the size of the array.
.El
.Pp
Predefined macro: MS_TRIG(reg,len,array)
.Sh MICROSEQUENCES
.Ss C structures
.Bd -literal
union ppb_insarg {
     int     i;
     char    c;
     void    *p;
     int     (* f)(void *, char *);
};

struct ppb_microseq {
     int                     opcode;         /* microins. opcode */
     union ppb_insarg        arg[PPB_MS_MAXARGS];    /* arguments */
};
.Ed
.Ss Using microsequences
To instantiate a microsequence, just declare an array of ppb_microseq
structures and initialize it as needed. You may either use predefined macros
or code directly your microinstructions according to the ppb_microseq
definition. For example,
.Bd -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, 2 /* ready */),
	     MS_DBRA(-2 /* loop */),
/* error: */    MS_RET(1),
/* ready: */    MS_RET(0)
     };
.Ed
.Pp
Here, some parameters are undefined and must be filled before executing
the microsequence. In order to initialize each microsequence, one
should use the ppb_MS_init_msq() function like this:
.Bd -literal
     ppb_MS_init_msq(select_microseq, 2,
		     SELECT_TARGET, 1 << target,
		     SELECT_INITIATOR, 1 << initiator);
.Ed
.Pp
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). Most of the microsequencer is executed
at ppc level to avoid ppbus to adapter function call overhead. But some
actions like deciding whereas the transfer is IEEE1284-1994 compliant are
executed at ppbus layer.
.Sh BUGS
Only one level of submicrosequences is allowed.
.Pp
When triggering the port, maximum delay allowed is 255 us.
