For R[23]000 systems you should install Dave's util-linux package BEFORE going multi-user. I've tried that on a 3100, a 5000/150, and a 5000/260. My 5000/240 still resists booting.

That reminds me that I should upload a System.map file together with kernel binaries. When there is a reason to upgrade the binaries, I'll will upload the maps too.

The RM300 is basically identiac with the RM200, so basically Linux *should* run on it but I never received any reports.

I would like to report that the last release of the root system, along with Dave Airlie's util-linux works almost perfectly on my DECstation 5000/25. I even got ambitious enough to try to compile the kernel on this machine and hook up a DAT drive. All problems that I listed before are solved now, to whit: fdisk, cfdisk and vipw all work, and I have been able to hook up a daisy chain of SCSI drives and create and populate new file systems on them. I haven't tried the NetBSD bootblocks yet, but as I'm a fan of this OS, I'll try it soon. The system goes directly into multiuser mode without a hitch. However, it's still easier to log in remotely, rather than on the console. This is not a problem for me, but I should report that the direct console login still requires a lot of break key hits, and even then it sometimes misses the login, and you have to try again. This could be machine-specific however. I've got several models of these /25's, and they all act slightly differently. One of them won't even let me use the serial console, but spews out constant garbage. However, I think I can help a bit with your missing row of the table on the install.html page. I'm doing "setenv console s", and to get into single user mode "boot 3/tftp console=ttyS0 single rw". There is only one serial port on the back, and it's marked like the other 5000 series. The boot seems to work whether or not I give the console=ttyS0 argument, maybe due to the fact that this is the only tty. I have an HP35470a DAT drive that I'd like to try to hook up to this machine, but the kernel I first compiled on my Intel didn't have SCSI tape support, and I wanted to try doing the kernel this time on the Maxine. I've followed your latest instructions, and everything seems to be working. She's 45 minutes into the compile, and still chomping. I'll let you know the results.

Please sorry if this reply is not what you are waiting for, but your script is so pretty that we have tested it during last night on our Baget (MIPS R3000 BE, 16MB RAM diskless computer). Saying 'virtual memory exhausted' (script invokes 10 compilers in parallel) our system (RedHat 5.2 from 'roughcuts CD' which we just installed yesterday) looks today quite alive and happy :-) It indirectly shows that reason your are looking for is probably located outside of shared code for all R3Ks.

Here's a question about compile flags. I'd like to port a little program called cftp, which is a very convenient ftp client for Linux. I tried to get it working with ./configure && make && make install, and it compiles, but doesn't quite work right, asking me for passwords to anonymous sites, even though they are in the .cftprc file. Should I add the "-mcpu=r3000 -mips1" flags to the makefile, or is something else likely necessary to get it to work on the DECstations. I guess the general question I'm asking is: what has to be done to port a program from Intel Redhat Linux 5.1 to mipsel Redhat?

That's actually all stuff documented in the gcc info pages ... -mips1 is the compiler default. -mcpu= does instruction scheduling optimal for . -mcpu however does not choose any instructions that are not part of the current isa, that is MIPS1 in that case. So for example -mcpu=r8000 -mips1 will generate code optimized for the r8000 but still usable on MIPS 1 like R3000. > I guess the general question I'm asking is: what has to be done to port a > program from Intel Redhat Linux 5.1 to mipsel Redhat? Usually just recompiling. A few broken packages need fixes but most of the just compile. Btw, a large number 5.2 packages plus binaries are already available on ftp.linux.sgi.com.

My HP 35470a shows up in the SCSI list of devices at boot, but, unlike when connected to an Intel machine, it does not get assigned st0. And sure enough, when I try to do: mt -f /dev/st0 status or mt -f /dev/rmt0 status, I see "device not configured". I also have a TK50 I plugged in, but this is not detected by the kernel at all. Interesting that the same machine when booting NetBSD recognizes and works with the TK50 just fine, but refuses to see the 35470.

I'll upload the patch later today, my router was acting up this morning and I have to prepare lots of things for LinuxTag (it looks like we're presenting Linux on almost every PowerPC system that exists ;-) - but we also take a DECstation with us ...). There is a nice schematic for connecting a PC keyboard to a Sparc (which also uses a serial port for kbd and mouse), I'll have to dig out the URL. This circuit uses a Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller.

Unfortunately, S/Linux uses own serial console implementation. I'd like to see a solution which works with standard serial console. What I was thinking is an intermediate driver which connects to a serial driver (in the way ppp or slip or IrDa or whatever does) and provides neccessary interfaces to pc_keyb (via mips kbd-ops). Perhaps, I'll need own line discipline, but overall looks like clean solution to me. > > OTOH, you could probably try to get a LK201 or LK401 keyboard from a > dead DEC terminal.

I already have custom keyboard that implements standard PC scan codes (along with ANSI codes) and might be connected via both keyboard or just ordinary serial port.

The interrupt pending bits (RR3) are only valid when read from Port A but show the interrupts pending for both channels. Yes, Michael, I know that zs.c isn't ready for Keyboard/Mouse handling and is in badly need of an overhaul. Maybe you should have a look at drivers/sbus/zs.c.

We spend last month periodically fixing code in this file to make it able to provide robust console on our MIPS BE Baget-202 computer (like some DECstations, it has two Zilog chips). The result we have now is very closed to original zs.c, and at least we know some problems, looking linked with reported in this conference last time (for instance, Gleb Raiko has idea, that permanent problems with 'login' on DECstations can be linked with some 'zs.c' features: hacking our computer we detected same effect at login stage). First of all, why we are sure that channel with lowest address is channel A ? Is it true that chip should select channel by address bit 0x8 ? Our friend who deeply know about electronic side of our computer, said that Zilog decodes channel just by this bit. So, if our Baget has another internal mapping of Zilog registers by modulo 8, we have (we detected it in practice first :-) another order of channels. But interrupts are handled by channel A only, so it leads to 'nothing works'. Second, we detected that we have problems with interrupts until we add following string to the end of interrupt handler: // FIXME: is it really needed (and why) ? write_zsreg(info->zs_channel, 0, RES_H_IUS); This command explicitly marks end of interrupt. Without it Zilog think IRQ is not handled by software. It is strange, because the driver should set mode which forces automatic IACK... Third, we found the routines linked with blocked operation are waiting infinite time in procedure: /* * rs_wait_until_sent() --- wait until the transmitter is empty */ static void rs_wait_until_sent(struct tty_struct *tty, int timeout) { struct dec_serial *info = (struct dec_serial *) tty->driver_data; unsigned long orig_jiffies, char_time; if (serial_paranoia_check(info, tty->device, "rs_wait_until_sent")) return; orig_jiffies = jiffies; /* * Set the check interval to be 1/5 of the estimated time to * send a single character, and make it at least 1. The check * interval should also be less than the timeout. */ char_time = (info->timeout - HZ/50) / info->xmit_fifo_size; char_time = char_time / 5; // FIXME: added line char_time = 1; if (char_time == 0) char_time = 1; if (timeout) char_time = MIN(char_time, timeout); while (0/*FIXME*/ && (read_zsreg(info->zs_channel, 1) & ALL_SNT) == 0) { // printk("scc: wait_until_send in loop, char_time=%d, timeout=%d, orig_jiffies=%d, jiffies = %d\n", // char_time, timeout, orig_jiffies, jiffies); current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE; current->counter = 0; /* make us low-priority */ schedule_timeout(char_time); if (signal_pending(current)) break; if (timeout && ((orig_jiffies + timeout) < jiffies)) break; } current->state = TASK_RUNNING; } See how we were forced to place hacks nead FIXME words. Really, this function need some attention: we found it can wait a HUGE time obtaining negative 'char_time' ! More interesting: our chip may forget to said ALL_SNT in some cases (!) It is not all, but most important things. If somebody found our fixes useful, please inform us. Yet another activity: We need nearest time to add support for serial keyboard (that is, keyboard which looks like a normal keyboard, but is connected via serial port). It looks relatively easy to add support for it in zs.c, like in Sparc Zilog driver, like Harald already suggested. If anybody already doing it, please mail about results. Happy Ziloging, Best wishes, Vladimir.

Good spotted! I just tried if your hack does any harm on the DECstations, and guess what, it does not only work, but switching runlevels doesn't take unnaturally long any more! It looks like the init problems on the DECstations are related to this. I've done some research and found that neither drivers/sbus/char/zs.c nor drivers/sgi/char/sgiserial.c are having rs_wait_until_sent(). After removing that from drivers/tc/zs.c everything seems to work well. Fellow DECstation hackers, could you please check wether the attached patch does any harm anywhere? --- Regards, Harald --_=XFMail.1.3.p0.Linux:990613184948:2809=_ Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="zs-patch" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: zs-patch Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name=zs-patch; SizeOnDisk=2263 --- zs.c.orig Sun Jun 13 18:04:55 1999 +++ zs.c Sun Jun 13 18:05:52 1999 @@ -135,7 +135,6 @@ static void probe_sccs(void); static void change_speed(struct dec_serial *info); -static void rs_wait_until_sent(struct tty_struct *tty, int timeout); static struct tty_struct *serial_table[NUM_CHANNELS]; static struct termios *serial_termios[NUM_CHANNELS]; @@ -1261,13 +1260,6 @@ info->zs_channel->curregs[1] = 0; /* disable any rx ints */ write_zsreg(info->zs_channel, 1, info->zs_channel->curregs[1]); ZS_CLEARFIFO(info->zs_channel); - if (info->flags & ZILOG_INITIALIZED) { - /* - * Before we drop DTR, make sure the SCC transmitter - * has completely drained. - */ - rs_wait_until_sent(tty, info->timeout); - } shutdown(info); if (tty->driver.flush_buffer) @@ -1291,41 +1283,6 @@ } /* - * rs_wait_until_sent() --- wait until the transmitter is empty - */ -static void rs_wait_until_sent(struct tty_struct *tty, int timeout) -{ - struct dec_serial *info = (struct dec_serial *) tty->driver_data; - unsigned long orig_jiffies, char_time; - - if (serial_paranoia_check(info, tty->device, "rs_wait_until_sent")) - return; - - orig_jiffies = jiffies; - /* - * Set the check interval to be 1/5 of the estimated time to - * send a single character, and make it at least 1.

The changes are too big and I finally want to use the freedem to use all the tricks in the box. It also means that we'll have some more of a maintenance pain for the common code for mips and mips64.

Well, I've just tried the folowing: Using a new kernel (fresh compile, CVS sources, r23k-patch, hz_patch, zs-patch), I used Richards script (sequential kernel compiles, 10 jobs parrallel), to get the system loaded from a telnet login, and then I logged in at the console (serial), and did ls -lsR / (to give the serial IO something to do). After a while, the system paniced. Tomorrow I'll try to do the same test with an older kernel, but this is a bug, maybe in the zs-patch, or in the previous kernel. Here my listing....

So that is not the source of the problem. I've run the compile script lots of times without using the serial console, and I had no problems. There must be something related to the serial driver.

Thus, zs really needs rs_wait_until_sent to ensure we switch any modes at the time transmitter is empty aned we don't get any garabge on the terminal. I'd like to note you switch from easy reproducable problem to hard reproducable one. BTW, that's the only reason I didn't send new patch for Baget yet, zs driver still needs a lot of hacking before it becomes functional. Regards, Gleb.

I have several empty DEC Storage Expansion Boxes, Model SZ12-CXA, also with the text BA42A on the back. I also have several full ones, with DEC RZ56 or RZ57 drives in them. Those enclosures come with these nice U-shaped brackets that attach to the drives, and make them very easy to install and remove. I'd like to get some more of these brackets, but I don't know where to find them. Does anyone know about getting ahold of some of these things?

I know that this is a dumb question, but are you sure that you have enabled the maxinefb in the kernelconfig? Did you compile the kernel yourself or did you take Michaels kernelimage from decstation.unix-ag.org? For further debugging you could try booting with an attached serial terminal and "boot 3/tftp/dec video=maxinefb:on root=/dev/sdb1 console=ttyS0". This should give you the kernel messages on the serial terminal. The maxinefb driver prints out several debugging messages during initialization, so we could find out wheter it is actually called or not.

I would like to now how to start a kernel without compiled in serial support, is it possible that a kernel boots without an initial console? I build such a kernel, but it didn't completly started, I guess it paniced not having a console. As Vladimir pointed out the instability on R3K DEC's is outside common R3k code, with that in mind I'm curious what the MAXine does with its native console supported. That's what I'm currently trying to do: building a kernel with the framebuffer supported.

There is no need to port GCC to this device. It has had support for a long time. Should be realistic to move to the Vr41xx, but there might be lots of irritating issues.

I AFAIK not without _any_ initial console, but without serial console and with framebuffer console instead should be no problem.

I implemented the appropriate handler and am heavily testing the zs driver. After that, I'll post the patch. Considering your changes, I thing the second way won't help.

Good spotting, the CPU detection code has a bug causes only V4 CPUs to be detected as R4400. The difference is just cosmetics; R4000 and R4400 are almost the same. Especially it's unrelated to the file corruption problem.

As Gleb already pointed out, there seems to be a strange behaviour wrt ALL-SNT. Maybe I'm simple naive but do we really need rs_wait_until_sent? Neither the sgi nor the sparc serial drivers have one and I'm wondering if tty_wait_until_sent(...) would do the trick.

Anybody interested in maintaining this facility? IRIX 4.* binaries are COFF binaries, not ELF, and have a very different ABI from IRIX 5.* binaries. The present support is really for IRIX 5 binaries, which are much closer in interface semantics to Linux native binaries.

There is a possibility that zs state is changed while tx buffer isn't empty. Either we should reimplement driver for synchronous mode when we wait for empty tx buffer at every transmit (and it will slow down ppp/slip links). Or implement wait_until_sent. > > Personally I'd prefer kicking zs.c in the bin and write a new one. zs.c > is and was never ment to be anything else but a bad hack. I'd like to note that I debugged DECstation zs at the point where it's stable enough to carry terminal, keyboard, and mouse. The only thing I have in TODO list is wait_until_sent. I think I'll ready to send a patch during next week. > > IMHO we really should think about a more general approach.

Let's wait until new implementation of the driver layer will come to life. I mean the idea when we'll have bus independent drivers, dropped Space.c, and driver initilization routines in an ELF section. It might appear even in 2.3 series.

I copied most interesting parts from the real patch I am prepearing and removed all Baget stuff. Also, the part of the patch I sent before (considering wait_until_send) was removed. There is two fatal bugs fixed. First, missed check for NULL tty before doing flip_buffer_push. Second, oversimplified switch with one default case in change_spped which leads to division by zero.

As a side note, the B ports on the DECstations can do DMA... > BTW, we've got at least 5 lance drivers (PC, Sparc, Atari, DECstation, > and Baget). Not to forget the HP 300 Series. Yes, i noticed that too. I was thinking about using 7990.c and writing a DECstation backend similar to hplance.c. I didn't do this because the layouts of the shared memory (yes, there are three different ones for three lance implementations!) are so weird that it's hardly possible to write a driver that covers all three DECstation interfaces. That's why the support for PMAD-AA cards (TURBOchannel ethernet interfaces) is broken. The NetBSD people are working with shadow copies of the init block and the ring descriptors. They're manipulating the copies and copy them to the shared memory afterwards with specialzed copy routines. Although this is an elegant solution from a code point of view I was trying to avoid this additional copy. Nevertheless, I haven't given up yet and I still have some ideas for a unified lance driver. --- Regards, Harald From Harald.Koerfgen@home.ivm.de Wed Jun 30 18:40:46 1999 Received: from mail.ivm.net (mail.ivm.net [62.204.1.4]) by guadalquivir.fnet.fr with ESMTP (8.8.8/97.02.12/Guadalquivir); id SAA00788; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 18:40:45 +0200 (MET DST) Received-Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 18:40:45 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from franz.no.dom (port7.koeln.ivm.de [195.247.239.7]) by mail.ivm.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA13729 for ; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 17:42:31 +0200 X-To: Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.3 [p0] on Linux X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 18:43:37 +0200 (MEST) Reply-To: "Harald Koerfgen" Organization: none Sender: harry@franz.no.dom From: Harald Koerfgen To: linux-mips@fnet.fr Subject: r2300_patch and hz_patch updated Content-Length: 427 Lines: 15 Gang, I just uploaded new versions of hz_patch.gz and r2300_patch.gz to linux.sgi.com.
