Well, until the soft-raid support is done, you do need a 'supported' PCI controller (sounds like you've already resigened yourself to that). If you're looking to just plug in a controller, hook up the drives and go, I've had good luck with the Intel SRCS16 SATA controller (which is a LSI MegaRAID SATA 150-6 basically) but that probably a bit more than you want. LSI also offeres the 150-4 (US$309 vs US$389 for the 6 channel) which should be supported by the amr driver. -Sam From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 3 20:58:20 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7574716A4CE; Mon, 3 Jan 2005 20:58:20 +0000 (GMT) Received: from users.altadena.net (users.altadena.net [207.151.161.11]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4ACEF43D3F; Mon, 3 Jan 2005 20:58:20 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from pete@users.altadena.net) Received: from pete by users.altadena.net with local (Exim 4.43) id 1ClZHQ-000Jpq-3x; Mon, 03 Jan 2005 12:58:20 -0800 Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2005 12:58:20 -0800 From: Pete Carah To: hardware@freebsd.org, current@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20050103205820.GA74545@users.altadena.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i Sender: Pete Carah Subject: Adaptec USB2Xchange X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2005 20:58:20 -0000 I have reason to use a USB to SCSI adapter under FBSD.

As far as I know the Adaptec parts can do multiple addreses, which is not part of umass specification. They may use a vendor extended umass or completely different protocol. Whatever it is - the device doesn't offer itself as beeing umass. With vendor specs it should be simple to teach our umass driver about this special device, even if it really isn't umass. Also firmware uploading in USB is very simple if you have vendor specs. Without specs all you can do is sniff Windows data and guess. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 3 21:59:28 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 816C716A4CE; Mon, 3 Jan 2005 21:59:28 +0000 (GMT) Received: from pooker.samsco.org (pooker.samsco.org [168.103.85.57]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0626343D1D; Mon, 3 Jan 2005 21:59:28 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from scottl@freebsd.org) Received: from [192.168.254.11] (junior-wifi.samsco.home [192.168.254.11]) (authenticated bits=0) by pooker.samsco.org (8.12.11/8.12.10) with ESMTP id j03M24Om010532; Mon, 3 Jan 2005 15:02:04 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from scottl@freebsd.org) Message-ID: <41D9BFDC.1050304@freebsd.org> Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2005 14:57:48 -0700 From: Scott Long User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040929 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: ticso@cicely.de References: <20050103205820.GA74545@users.altadena.net> <20050103214607.GB64429@cicely12.cicely.de> In-Reply-To: <20050103214607.GB64429@cicely12.cicely.de> X-Enigmail-Version: 0.86.1.0 X-Enigmail-Supports: pgp-inline, pgp-mime Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=3.8 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.63 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11) on pooker.samsco.org cc: hardware@freebsd.org cc: Pete Carah cc: current@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Adaptec USB2Xchange X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2005 21:59:28 -0000 Bernd Walter wrote: > On Mon, Jan 03, 2005 at 12:58:20PM -0800, Pete Carah wrote: > >>I have reason to use a USB to SCSI adapter under FBSD.

Most of the "Adaptec" products that are found on store shelves these days are just rebranded from other vendors, so it might be more fruitful to discover the OEM of this part and bother that vendor for specs. There doesn't appear to be a driver in the linux tree for this either, at least not for the Adaptec name of it.

For anyone who doesn't thrill to the sound of plastic yielding a satisfying *SNAP*, I happen to have one of these (1989100) thanks to a friend, who also gave me a different device that works without a need for firmware load or anything -- though I have no SCSI devices to test, in case anyone is interested in things that Just Probably Work As-Is: umass0 at uhub3 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 umass0: Microtech International, Inc. USB-SCSI-HD50, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 6 umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, 1 lun per target probe(umass0:0:0:0): generic HBA error That's under NetBSD; FreeBSD looked comparable. It also required being snapped apart, because at first it didn't work at all, and I discovered two things: The power USB wire had come detached, and secondly, a SMD inductor was missing, so I have no idea how it ever passed quality control, nor do I want to know. Anyway, I'll not post a `usbgen' or `usbctl' from this device, as there's not much to see that's not already known, unless there's a call for it. Inside my device seems to be a Cypress Semiconductor chip, something like CY7xx8013-56PVC where the `xx' is hard to make out CYP 608578 The mystery `xx' could be `C6'; or the first character could be `0' or perhaps `6'; the second character could be a `6' or `8' or maybe a `C' or `0' -- hard to tell as there's a thick blue marker line atop the chip, and my eyes aren't so good. The Cypress site disagrees with my excuse for a browser, and in order to obtain these numbers, I had to bend back a thin soldered metal plate, which, in addition to the above-mentioned snaps, could be off-putting for someone who cares about warranties. Perhaps this would be helpful for someone else.

System sees RAID controller (ips) and disk behind them but when I try to write disklabel I get following errors: unable to find device node for /dev/ipsd01b in /dev! The creation of systems will be aborted I tried to install system without swap (I thought it may work) but got the same error. Anyone here had installed FreeBSD 5.3 on this system? This system has serveRAID-7k in it. ----------------------- Omer Faruk Sen http://www.EnderUNIX.ORG Software Development Team @ Turkey http://www.Faruk.NET For Public key: http://www.enderunix.org/ofsen/ofsen.asc ******************************************************** First Turkish FreeBSD book is out!

Don't think thats usefull - we already know it's SCSI over bulk-Only.

Don't know about this special chip, but most of them are basicly Mikrocontrollers with embedded USB hardware and allow custom firmware. No clue how they do the SCSI part, since the chips typically are only fast with embedded hardware and the components I know all include ATA controllers. > I did notice this mailing list post for Linux, if not yet known: > http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg22138.html > but I haven't looked into it.
