2Amiga Buddha and Catweasel IDE Driver
3=====================================
4
5The Amiga Buddha and Catweasel IDE Driver (part of ide.c) was written by
6Geert Uytterhoeven based on the following specifications:
7
8------------------------------------------------------------------------
9
10Register map of the Buddha IDE controller and the
11Buddha-part of the Catweasel Zorro-II version
12
13The Autoconfiguration has been implemented just as Commodore
14described  in  their  manuals, no tricks have been used (for
15example leaving some address lines out of the equations...).
16If you want to configure the board yourself (for example let
17a  Linux  kernel  configure the card), look at the Commodore
18Docs.  Reading the nibbles should give this information::
19
20  Vendor number: 4626 ($1212)
21  product number: 0 (42 for Catweasel Z-II)
22  Serial number: 0
23  Rom-vector: $1000
24
25The  card  should be a Z-II board, size 64K, not for freemem
26list, Rom-Vektor is valid, no second Autoconfig-board on the
27same card, no space preference, supports "Shutup_forever".
28
29Setting  the  base address should be done in two steps, just
30as  the Amiga Kickstart does:  The lower nibble of the 8-Bit
31address is written to $4a, then the whole Byte is written to
32$48, while it doesn't matter how often you're writing to $4a
33as  long as $48 is not touched.  After $48 has been written,
34the  whole card disappears from $e8 and is mapped to the new
35address just written.  Make sure $4a is written before $48,
36otherwise your chance is only 1:16 to find the board :-).
37
38The local memory-map is even active when mapped to $e8:

40==============  ===========================================
41$0-$7e		Autokonfig-space, see Z-II docs.
42
43$80-$7fd	reserved
44
45$7fe		Speed-select Register: Read & Write
46		(description see further down)
47
48$800-$8ff	IDE-Select 0 (Port 0, Register set 0)
49
50$900-$9ff	IDE-Select 1 (Port 0, Register set 1)
51
52$a00-$aff	IDE-Select 2 (Port 1, Register set 0)
53
54$b00-$bff	IDE-Select 3 (Port 1, Register set 1)
55
56$c00-$cff	IDE-Select 4 (Port 2, Register set 0,
57                Catweasel only!)
58
59$d00-$dff	IDE-Select 5 (Port 3, Register set 1,
60		Catweasel only!)
61
62$e00-$eff	local expansion port, on Catweasel Z-II the
63		Catweasel registers are also mapped here.
64		Never touch, use multidisk.device!
65
66$f00		read only, Byte-access: Bit 7 shows the
67		level of the IRQ-line of IDE port 0.
68
69$f01-$f3f	mirror of $f00
70
71$f40		read only, Byte-access: Bit 7 shows the
72		level of the IRQ-line of IDE port 1.
73
74$f41-$f7f	mirror of $f40
75
76$f80		read only, Byte-access: Bit 7 shows the
77		level of the IRQ-line of IDE port 2.
78		(Catweasel only!)
79
80$f81-$fbf	mirror of $f80
81
82$fc0		write-only: Writing any value to this
83		register enables IRQs to be passed from the
84		IDE ports to the Zorro bus. This mechanism
85		has been implemented to be compatible with
86		harddisks that are either defective or have
87		a buggy firmware and pull the IRQ line up
88		while starting up. If interrupts would
89		always be passed to the bus, the computer
90		might not start up. Once enabled, this flag
91		can not be disabled again. The level of the
92		flag can not be determined by software
93		(what for? Write to me if it's necessary!).
94
95$fc1-$fff	mirror of $fc0
96
97$1000-$ffff	Buddha-Rom with offset $1000 in the rom
98		chip. The addresses $0 to $fff of the rom
99		chip cannot be read. Rom is Byte-wide and
100		mapped to even addresses.
101==============  ===========================================
102
103The  IDE ports issue an INT2.  You can read the level of the
104IRQ-lines  of  the  IDE-ports by reading from the three (two
105for  Buddha-only)  registers  $f00, $f40 and $f80.  This way
106more  than one I/O request can be handled and you can easily
107determine  what  driver  has  to serve the INT2.  Buddha and
108Catweasel  expansion  boards  can issue an INT6.  A separate
109memory  map  is available for the I/O module and the sysop's
110I/O module.
111
112The IDE ports are fed by the address lines A2 to A4, just as
113the  Amiga  1200  and  Amiga  4000  IDE ports are.  This way
114existing  drivers  can be easily ported to Buddha.  A move.l
115polls  two  words  out of the same address of IDE port since
116every  word  is  mirrored  once.  movem is not possible, but
117it's  not  necessary  either,  because  you can only speedup
11868000  systems  with  this  technique.   A 68020 system with
119fastmem is faster with move.l.
120
121If you're using the mirrored registers of the IDE-ports with
122A6=1,  the Buddha doesn't care about the speed that you have
123selected  in  the  speed  register (see further down).  With
124A6=1  (for example $840 for port 0, register set 0), a 780ns
125access  is being made.  These registers should be used for a
126command   access   to  the  harddisk/CD-Rom,  since  command
127accesses  are Byte-wide and have to be made slower according
128to the ATA-X3T9 manual.
129
130Now  for the speed-register:  The register is byte-wide, and
131only  the  upper  three  bits are used (Bits 7 to 5).  Bit 4
132must  always  be set to 1 to be compatible with later Buddha
133versions  (if  I'll  ever  update this one).  I presume that
134I'll  never use the lower four bits, but they have to be set
135to 1 by definition.
136
137The  values in this table have to be shifted 5 bits to the
138left and or'd with $1f (this sets the lower 5 bits).
139
140All  the timings have in common:  Select and IOR/IOW rise at
141the  same  time.   IOR  and  IOW have a propagation delay of
142about  30ns  to  the clocks on the Zorro bus, that's why the
143values  are no multiple of 71.  One clock-cycle is 71ns long
144(exactly 70,5 at 14,18 Mhz on PAL systems).
145
146value 0 (Default after reset)
147  497ns Select (7 clock cycles) , IOR/IOW after 172ns (2 clock cycles)
148  (same timing as the Amiga 1200 does on it's IDE port without
149  accelerator card)
150
151value 1
152  639ns Select (9 clock cycles), IOR/IOW after 243ns (3 clock cycles)
153
154value 2
155  781ns Select (11 clock cycles), IOR/IOW after 314ns (4 clock cycles)
156
157value 3
158  355ns Select (5 clock cycles), IOR/IOW after 101ns (1 clock cycle)
159
160value 4
161  355ns Select (5 clock cycles), IOR/IOW after 172ns (2 clock cycles)
162
163value 5
164  355ns Select (5 clock cycles), IOR/IOW after 243ns (3 clock cycles)
165
166value 6
167  1065ns Select (15 clock cycles), IOR/IOW after 314ns (4 clock cycles)
168
169value 7
170  355ns Select, (5 clock cycles), IOR/IOW after 101ns (1 clock cycle)
171
172When accessing IDE registers with A6=1 (for example $84x),
173the timing will always be mode 0 8-bit compatible, no matter
174what you have selected in the speed register:
175
176781ns select, IOR/IOW after 4 clock cycles (=314ns) active.
177
178All  the  timings with a very short select-signal (the 355ns
179fast  accesses)  depend  on the accelerator card used in the
180system:  Sometimes two more clock cycles are inserted by the
181bus  interface,  making  the  whole access 497ns long.  This
182doesn't  affect  the  reliability  of the controller nor the
183performance  of  the  card,  since  this doesn't happen very
184often.
185
186All  the  timings  are  calculated  and  only  confirmed  by
187measurements  that allowed me to count the clock cycles.  If
188the  system  is clocked by an oscillator other than 28,37516
189Mhz  (for  example  the  NTSC-frequency  28,63636 Mhz), each
190clock  cycle is shortened to a bit less than 70ns (not worth
191mentioning).   You  could think of a small performance boost
192by  overclocking  the  system,  but  you would either need a
193multisync  monitor,  or  a  graphics card, and your internal
194diskdrive would go crazy, that's why you shouldn't tune your
195Amiga this way.
196
197Giving  you  the  possibility  to  write  software  that  is
198compatible  with both the Buddha and the Catweasel Z-II, The
199Buddha  acts  just  like  a  Catweasel  Z-II  with no device
200connected  to  the  third  IDE-port.   The IRQ-register $f80
201always  shows a "no IRQ here" on the Buddha, and accesses to
202the  third  IDE  port  are  going into data's Nirwana on the
203Buddha.
