0. Installation of the package
==============================

Run SCC-Install. If one (or more) of the patches fails PLEASE consult 
chapter 2 (and READ IT of course!)



1. Initialization and attachment of the channels
================================================

To use the driver, 3 steps must be performed:

     1. Global initialization of the driver in the kernel
     2. Setup of parameters with sccinit
     2. Attachment of each channel in the packet software

The global initialization is needed to reset all SCCs and to 
install a common interrupt handler.  Also, the hardware addresses 
of the chips are defined in this step.  In the second step, each 
channel is set up for the intended use.



1.1. Initialization
===================

Initialization of the hardware is performed by setting the defines and
variables in the file "/linux/drivers/char/scc_config.h". You can change 
a number of parameters.

After you changed a parameter you have to recompile a new kernel image file.

The channel number ranges from 0 to (2 * Nchips) - 1,
where Nchips is the number of chips.

The crystal clock is specified as 4.9152 MHz.  Other frequencies 
can be used, and this parameter should be adjusted accordingly.


You can define your scc type with Board

   BayCom (U)SCC card       BAYCOM


NOTE:
=====

If you only know the parameters for the PE1CHL driver for DOS,
run gencfg. It will generate the correct port addresses (I hope).
Its parameters are exactly the same as the ones you use with
the "attach scc" command in net, except that the string "init" must 
not appear. Example:

gencfg 2 0x150 4 2 0 1 0x168 9 4915200 

will print a short form of scc_config.h for the OptoSCC to stdout. 
("short" <=> few comments).

gencfg 2 0x300 2 4 5 -4 0 7 4915200 0x10

does the same for the BayCom USCC card. I my opinion it is much easier
to edit scc_config.h... 


1.2 initializing the driver on bootup
=====================================


To setup a number parameters you must run /sbin/sccinit from one
of your rc.*-files. This has to be done BEFORE the start of
NET or the ax25attach. Sccinit reads the file /etc/z8530drv.rc
and sets the MODEM and KISS parameters. A sample file is
delivered with this package. Change it to your needs:

Each channel definition is divided into three sections. An
example for /dev/sc1:

# DEVICE

device /dev/sc1         # the device for the following params

# MODEM

speed 1200              # the default baudrate
clock dpll              # clock source: 
                        #       dpll     = normal halfduplex operation
                        #       external = MODEM provides own Rx/Tx clock
                        #       divider  = use fullduplex divider if
                        #                  installed (1)
mode nrzi               # HDLC encoding mode
                        #       nrzi = 1k2 MODEM, G3RUH 9k6 MODEM
                        #       nrz  = DF9IC 9k6 MODEM
# KISS (Layer 1)

txdelay 36              # (see chapter 1.4)
persist 64
slot    8
tail    8
fulldup 0
wait    12
min     3
maxkey  7
idle    3
maxdef  120
group   0
txoff   off
softdcd on                   
slip    off

The order WITHIN these sections is unimportant. The order OF these
sections IS important. The MODEM parameters are set with the first
recognized KISS paramer...

Please note that you can initialize the board only once after boot. 
You can change all paramters but "mode" and "clock" later with the
Sccparam program or through KISS. Just to avoid securety holes... 

(1) this divider is usually mounted on the SCC-PBC (PA0HZP) or not
    present at all (BayCom). It feeds back the output of the DPLL 
    (digital pll) as transmit clock. Using this mode without a divider 
    installed will normally result in keying the transceiver until 
    maxkey expires --- of course without sending anything (useful).


1.3. Attach commands
====================

When the linux has startup, the SCC driver has been initialized,
you can attach the channels in your packet software. This is done
by open the scc devices by using the attach asy command.
The SCC-drivers emulates the scc devices as serial asy ports,
this means e.g. that the baudrate can be set in the attach command.


Example Wampes:

#############################################################################################
# Wampes device attach
# NOTE: Interfacename and the device must be the same!!
# Usage: attach asy 0 0 slip|vjslip|ax25ui|ax25i|nrs|kissui <label> 0 <mtu> <speed> [ip_addr]
#
attach asy 0 0 kissi sc1 256 256 1200    # Attach SCC channel 1 in 1200 baud
attach asy 0 0 kissi sc2 256 256 1200    # Attach SCC channel 2 in 1200 baud
attach asy 0 0 kissui sc3 256 256 38400  # Attach SCC channel 3 in 38400 baud
attach asy 0 0 kissui sc4 256 256 9600   # Attach SCC channel 4 in 9600 baud
#                ^
#                 for WAMPES 921229 use here: ax25
#

Example JNOS:

############################################
# JNOS device attach
#
#attach asy sc1 0 ax25 sc1 256 256 1200
#attach asy sc2 0 ax25 sc2 256 256 1200
#attach asy sc3 0 ax25 sc3 256 256 300
#attach asy sc4 0 ax25 sc4 256 256 4800
#
#


It allows AX.25 communication without a TNC.  Only a MODEM is
needed. The parameters have the same meaning as in KISS mode.
In fact, the AX.25 mode is emulating an extended KISS TNC, so
the same commands can be used to set the parameters of the
interface (see below).

To be able to run fullduplex using an SCC in AX.25 mode, an 
external divider must be available, that divides the baudrate 
generator clock available on the TRxC pin by 32, and puts the 
resulting signal on the RTxC pint of the same channel of the SCC.  
Such a divider is not necessary for normal CSMA packet radio 
operation, but interrupt overhead is slightly reduced if you 
still install it.  



1.4. Displaying SCC Parameters:
===============================

Once a SCC channel has been attached, the parameter settings and 
some statistic information can be shown using the param program:

dl1bke-u:~$ sccstat /dev/sc1

Parameters:

speed       : 1200 baud
txdelay     : 36
persist     : 255
slottime    : 0
txtail      : 8
fulldup     : 1
waittime    : 12
mintime     : 3 sec
maxkeyup    : 7 sec
idletime    : 3 sec
maxdefer    : 120 sec
group       : 0x00
txoff       : off
softdcd     : on
SLIP        : off

Status:

HDLC                  Z8530           Interrupts         Queues
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sent       :     273  RxOver :     0  RxInts :   125074  RxQueue :    0
Received   :    1095  TxUnder:     0  TxInts :     4684  TxQueue :    0
RxErrors   :    1591                  ExInts :    11776
KissErrors :       0                  SpInts :     1503  NoSpace :    0
Tx State   :    idle

Memory allocated:

Total  :    1
RxAlloc:    0
TxAlloc:    1


The status info shown is:

Sent            - number of frames transmitted
Received        - number of frames received
RxErrors        - number of receive errors (CRC, ABORT)
KissErrors      - number of KISS errors (should be zero...)
Tx State        - status of the Tx interrupt handler: idle/busy/active/tail (2)
RxOver          - number of receiver overruns
TxUnder         - number of transmitter underruns     
RxInts          - number of receiver interrupts
TxInts          - number of transmitter interrupts
EpInts          - number of receiver special condition interrupts
SpInts          - number of external/status interrupts
RxQueue         - number of received packets enqueued for this channel
TxQueue         - number of packets enqueued for Tx
NoSpace         - number of times the receiver buffer pool was found empty


An overrun is abnormal. If lots of these occur, the product of
baudrate and number of interfaces is too high for the processing
power of you computer. If "Space" errors occur, specify a higher
number of buffers in the "scc.h" file.


1.5 Setting Parameters
======================


The setting of parameters of the emulated KISS TNC is done in the 
same way in the SCC driver. You can change parameters by using
the command param in NET or NOS

     param <iface> <paramname> <value>

or use the program "sccparam":

     sccparam <device> <paramname> <decimal-|hexadecimal value>

You can change the following parameters:

param       : value
------------------------
speed       : 1200
txdelay     : 36
persist     : 255
slottime    : 0
txtail      : 8
fulldup     : 1
waittime    : 12
mintime     : 3
maxkeyup    : 7
idletime    : 3
maxdefer    : 120
group       : 0x00
txoff       : off
softdcd     : on
SLIP        : off


The parameters have the following meaning:

speed:
     The baudrate on this channel in bits/sec

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc4 speed 9600

txdelay:
     The delay (in units of 10ms) after keying of the 
     transmitter, until the first byte is sent. This is usually 
     called "TXDELAY" in a TNC.  When 0 is specified, the driver 
     will just wait until the CTS signal is asserted. This 
     assumes the presence of a timer or other circuitry in the 
     MODEM and/or transmitter, that asserts CTS when the 
     transmitter is ready for data.
     A normal value of this parameter is 30-36.

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc1 txd 20

persist:
     This is the probability that the transmitter will be keyed 
     when the channel is found to be free.  It is a value from 0 
     to 255, and the probability is (value+1)/256.  The value 
     should be somewhere near 50-60, and should be lowered when 
     the channel is used more heavily.

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc3 persist 20

slottime:
     This is the time between samples of the channel. It is 
     expressed in units of 10ms.  About 200-300 ms (value 20-30) 
     seems to be a good value.

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc1 slot 20

tail:
     The time the transmitter will remain keyed after the last 
     byte of a packet has been transferred to the SCC. This is 
     necessary because the CRC and a flag still have to leave the 
     SCC before the transmitter is keyed down. The value depends 
     on the baudrate selected.  A few character times should be 
     sufficient, e.g. 40ms at 1200 baud. (value 4)
     The value of this parameter is in 10ms units.

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc3 4

full:
     The full-duplex mode switch. This can be one of the folowing 
     values:

     0:   The interface will operate in CSMA mode (the normal 
          half-duplex packet radio operation)
     1:   Fullduplex mode, i.e. the transmitter will be keyed at 
          any time, without checking the received carrier.  It 
          will be unkeyed when there are no packets to be sent.
     2:   Like 1, but the transmitter will remain keyed, also 
          when there are no packets to be sent.  Flags will be 
          sent in that case, until a timeout (parameter 10) 
          occurs.

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc1 fulldup off

wait:
     The initial waittime before any transmit attempt, after the 
     frame has been queue for transmit.  This is the length of 
     the first slot in CSMA mode.  In fullduplex modes it is
     set to 0 for maximum performance.
     The value of this parameter is in 10ms units. 

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc2 wait 4

maxkey:
     The maximal time the transmitter will be keyed to send 
     packets, in seconds.  This can be useful on busy CSMA 
     channels, to avoid "getting a bad reputation" when you are 
     generating a lot of traffic.  After the specified time has 
     elapsed, no new frame will be started. Instead, the trans-
     mitter will be switched off for a specified time (parameter 
     min), and then the selected algorithm for keyup will be 
     started again.
     The value 0 as well as "off" will disable this feature, 
     and allow infinite transmission time. 

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc1 maxk 20

min:
     This is the time the transmitter will be switched off when 
     the maximum transmission time is exceeded.

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc4 min 10

idle
     This parameter specifies the maximum idle time in fullduplex 
     2 mode, in seconds.  When no frames have been sent for this 
     time, the transmitter will be keyed down.  A value of 0 is
     has same result as the fullduplex mode 1. This parameter
     can be disabled.

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc3 idle off        # transmit forever

maxdefer
     This is the maximum time (in seconds) to wait for a free channel
     to send. When this timer expires the transmitter will be keyed 
     IMMEDIATLY. If you love to get trouble with other users you
     should set this to a very low value ;-)

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc1 maxdefer 240    # 2 minutes


txoff:
     When this parameter has the value 0, the transmission of packets
     is enable. Otherwise it is disabled.

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc3 txoff on

group:
     It is possible to build special radio equipment to use more than 
     one frequency on the same bad, e.g. using several receivers and 
     only one transmitter that can be switched between frequencies.
     Also, you can connect several radios that are active on the same 
     band.  In these cases, it is not possible, or not a good idea, to 
     transmit on more than one frequency.  The SCC driver provides a 
     method to lock transmitters on different interfaces, using the 
     "param <interface> group <x>" command.  This will only work when 
     you are using CSMA mode (parameter full = 0).
     The number <x> must be 0 if you want no group restrictions, and 
     can be computed as follows to create restricted groups:
     <x> is the sum of some OCTAL numbers:

     200  This transmitter will only be keyed when all other 
          transmitters in the group are off.
     100  This transmitter will only be keyed when the carrier 
          detect of all other interfaces in the group is off.
     0xx  A byte that can be used to define different groups.  
          Interfaces are in the same group, when the logical AND 
          between their xx values is nonzero.

     Examples:
     When 2 interfaces use group 201, their transmitters will never be 
     keyed at the same time.
     When 2 interfaces use group 101, the transmitters will only key 
     when both channels are clear at the same time.  When group 301, 
     the transmitters will not be keyed at the same time.

     Don't forget to convert the octal numbers into decimal before
     you set the parameter.

     Example: (to be written)

softdcd:
     use a software dcd instead of the real one... Useful for a very
     slow squelch.

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc1 soft on


slip:
     use slip encoding instead of kiss

     Example: sccparam /dev/sc2 slip on



2. Problems
===========

We are poking around in somebody else's code, so everything may change
from one patchlevel to another... If the patches fail, try the
following:

2.1 /linux/drivers/char/Makefile
================================

Add "scc.o" to the definition of OBJS and "scc.c" to SRCS


2.2 /linux/include/linux/tty_driver.h
=====================================

add the following DEFINE:

#define TTY_DRIVER_TYPE_SCC 0x0005


2.3 /linux/drivers/char/tty_io.c
================================

in tty_init() add the line

        kmem_start=scc_init(kmem_start);

just before "return kmem_start".

2.4 /linux/arch/i386/config.in
==============================

somewhere in that file add:

        comment 'Z8530 SCC driver for Amateur Packet Radio'
        bool 'KISS emulator for Z8530 based HDLC cards' CONFIG_SCC y
        comment ''
  


2.5 Other problems
==================

If you have tx-problems with your BayCom USCC card please check
the manufacturer of the 8530. SGS chips have a slightly
different timing. Try Zilog... I have no information if this
driver works with baudrates higher than 1200 baud. A solution is
to write to register 8 instead to the data port, but this won't
work with the ESCC chips *SIGH!*

I got reports that the driver has problems on some 386-based systems.
(i.e. Amstrad) Those systems have a bogus AT bus timing which will
lead to delayed answers on interrupts. You can recognize these
problems by looking at the output of Sccstat for the suspected
port. See if it shows under- and overruns you own such a system.
Perhaps it will help if you simplify the scc_isr() function a bit.
You'll find a slightly faster version in the files scc_isr_intack
or scc_isr_novec.


Delayed processing of received data: This depends on

- the kernel version

- kernel profiling compiled or not

- the rather slow receiver in tty_io.c

- a high interrupt load

- a high load of the maching --- running X, Xmorph, XV and Povray,
  while compiling the kernel... hmm ... even with 32 MB RAM ...  ;-)

- NET's speed itself.


Kernel panics (based on excerpts from /linux/README)


- if a bug results in a message like

        unable to handle kernel paging request at address C0000010
        Oops: 0002
        EIP:   0010:XXXXXXXX
        eax: xxxxxxxx   ebx: xxxxxxxx   ecx: xxxxxxxx   edx: xxxxxxxx
        esi: xxxxxxxx   edi: xxxxxxxx   ebp: xxxxxxxx
        ds: xxxx  es: xxxx  fs: xxxx  gs: xxxx
        Pid: xx, process nr: xx
        xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

  or similar kernel debugging information on your screen or in your
  system log, please duplicate it *exactly*.  The dump may look
  incomprehensible to you, but it does contain information that may
  help debugging the problem.  The text above the dump is also
  important: it tells something about why the kernel dumped code (in
  the above example it's due to a bad kernel pointer)

- in debugging dumps like the above, please look up what the EIP value 
  means.  The hex value as such doesn't help me or anybody else very much: 
  it will depend on your particular kernel setup.  What you should do is 
  take the hex value from the EIP line (ignore the "0010:"), and look it up 
  in the kernel namelist to see which kernel function contains the offending 
  address.

  To find out the kernel function name, you'll need to 

         less /linux/System.map

  This will give you a list of kernel addresses sorted in ascending
  order, from which it is simple to find the function that contains the
  offending address.  Note that the address given by the kernel
  debugging messages will not necessarily match exactly with the
  function addresses (in fact, that is very unlikely), so you can't
  just 'grep' the list: the list will, however, give you the starting
  point of each kernel function, so by looking for the function that
  has a starting address lower than the one you are searching for but
  is followed by a function with a higher address you will find the one
  you want.  In fact, it may be [IS!] a good idea to include a bit of
  "context" in your problem report, giving a few lines around the
  interesting one. 

  I included a small program which does this for you. Just call

         grep_eip /linux/System.map address

  for example: grep_eip /linux/System.map 182f98

- alternately, you can use gdb on a running kernel. (read-only; i.e. you
  cannot change values or set break points.) To do this, first compile the
  kernel with -g; edit arch/i386/Makefile appropriately, then do a "make
  clean". You'll also need to enable CONFIG_PROC_FS (via "make config").

  After you've rebooted with the new kernel, do "gdb vmlinux /proc/kcore".
  You can now use all the usual gdb commands. The command to look up the
  point where your system crashed is "l *0xXXXXXXXX". (Replace the XXXes
  with the EIP value.)

  gdb'ing a non-running kernel currently fails because gdb (wrongly)
  disregards the starting offset for which the kernel is compiled.



If you can't solve a problem, send me

- a description of the problem,
- information on your hardware (computer system, scc board, modem)
- your kernel version
- the output of sccstat /dev/sc# ("#" is the No. of the channel)
- the settings of "speed", "clock" and "mode" for that channel
  in /etc/z8530drv.rc
- your scc_config.h


And always remember: 
The 1.1.* kernel series is for alpha tests -- use at your own risk ;-)
The 1.2.* series should run reliable. This driver perhaps NOT!
