UnixWare 7 and OpenServer 6 Sample HBA driver
The hbasample package contains
the source code of a functional driver for
the Distributed Processing Technology (DPT) Host Bus Adapter (HBA).
This driver conforms to UnixWare DDI version 8 and SDI version 4.
It also contains the graphical bldscript utility that is used to
generate HBA floppy disks.
Version 7.1.0 of this package differs from previous versions in the
following ways:
-
It includes a significantly improved build environment to build and
package your HBA driver.
-
It includes a pass-thru fix where SDI_SEND was incorrectly used by
the driver to send controller specific command. A new ioctl is now
used to send controller specific commands to the driver.
-
A pass-thru fix where a block size of 512 bytes was hard coded in
the driver. This prevented the pass-thru commands from being sent
to devices which are configured with a block size other than 512.
-
A fix for a problem where the driver returned a valid inquiry strings
for logical units (LUNs) at controllers SCSI ID. This problem caused
sdiadd(1M) to add non-existing devices during hot-plug of SCSI devices.
-
The hbasample package is no longer installed by default with the HDK
set; it must be explicitly selected for installation when you install
the HDK set, or installed individually later from the CD.
For current information about the entire UnixWare/OpenServer
Hardware Developers Kit (HDK) release, see the
HDK Release Notes.
Note: Documentation references on this page link to the
Product Documentation.
They are also available on your local system when the
BASEman, HDKdoc, and HDKman
packages are installed.
System requirements
The hbasample package requires that the following UnixWare 7 or OpenServer 6
packages are installed on your system:
- cmds
-
Advanced Commands
- uccs
-
UDK Optimizing C Compilation System (included with the UDK)
- usoftint
-
Software Packaging Tools (included with the UDK)
The UnixWare/OpenServer Development Kit (UDK), with the uccs
and usoftint packages selected, must be installed on your
system before installing the hbasample package.
See the UDK documentation for more information.
This package cannot be installed on OpenServer 5 systems.
The O5hbasamp package contains sample drivers and
tools for similar OpenServer 5 devices.
Installation
To install the package from:
downloaded files
- Log in as root.
- Download the package to an installation directory; for example,
/tmp.
- Use the
pkgadd(1M)
command to install it by entering:
- pkgadd -d /tmp/hbasample
media distribution
- Log in as root.
- Insert the CD-ROM in the drive
- Use the
pkgadd(1M)
command to install it by entering:
- pkgadd -d cdrom1 hbasample
This will place the HBA sample driver files in the /usr/src/hdk/sdi
directory.
