As an aside, I have since determined that putting a PIO device and a UDMA device on the same channel does not affect the performance of the UDMA device, unless the PIO device is in use. So, sharing a low use CD rom drive with a disk wouldn't be so bad. I am puzzled about the fallback to PIO concept. If a disk has gives some sort of timeout error or whatever, why would trying PIO correct the problem ? That seems equivalent to asking the disk to do the same thing, just more slowly. In my case, some sort of timeout error occurs on ad0, so it falls back to PIO, and works. A later access to ad1 also yields a timeout error, and then it drops to PIO, and works too. I'm fairly confident both disks did not experience media errors at the same time, which suggests a problem with the onboard IDE controller, or a driver bug.

Let's be more realistic : suppose I get a digital thermometer and would like to connect it to a port to treat data afterwards with my code: where could I get the information that would help me read (and write) data to the selected port ?

These questions are more depending > upon the FreeBSD part of the stuff, aren't they? Interfacing to FreeBSD is probably easiest through the serial port and most microcontrollers have one. USB requires a complicated protocol and dedicated chips which are hard to get. Designing your own ISA card is possible and not too complicated (if you're able to make double sided PCBs). The reserved I/O space is at $300-$330 or so. I would not recommend for measuring analog values, though. You can't use the PC's power supply because it's too noisy and you need to shield all your circuits from the electrical noise in the PC. Any other interface (reading in through the "paper out" pin of the parallel port, etc.) is most likely causing problems since Windows 98 and let you access I/O directly, but FreeBSD doesn't and you would have to replace the parallel port driver. There is some sort of driver for a I2C ISA card in the FreeBSD collection of drivers. You could use that and ready-to-use I2C temperature sensors (LM34?). I did an 8 channel 10 bit temperature measuring module once. It uses one opamp (LM324 - very cheap) and a Philips KTY-81 sensor per channel. An 80C552 Philips processer transmits the values via the serial port. If you're interested, I can send you the design. Hope this helps, Axel.

This is my configuration: The server is an Athlon @1.4Ghz on an Asus motherboard. The SCSI card is an Adaptec AHA3940UWD: two UltraSCSI2 (68 pins) channels. On the first channel I have a 18Gb UltraSCSI disk (and a terminator at the end of the cable), in single-ended mode: da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 8 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 17501MB (35843670 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2231C) On the second channel (a different cable, which is also 68 pins), I have connected the DAT drive using a 68<->50 pin adapter, on the SCSI ID 0, with another terminator at the end of this cable. It is recognized correctly at boot time: sa0 at ahc1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) The switches in the unit are all ON, but switch number 3, which is OFF. The 'Clean' LED in the unit is off, so it doesn't need cleaning. This is the output of an 'mt status' when I insert a blank tape: giskard:~# mt status Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x25:DDS-3 variable 97000 DCLZ ---------available modes--------- 0: 0x25:DDS-3 variable 97000 DCLZ 1: 0x25:DDS-3 variable 97000 DCLZ 2: 0x25:DDS-3 variable 97000 DCLZ 3: 0x25:DDS-3 variable 97000 DCLZ --------------------------------- Current Driver State: at rest. --------------------------------- File Number: 0 Record Number: 0 Residual Count 8192 The problem is that I cannot write anything to the tape. For example, an 'mt fsf 1' takes forever (I got tired of waiting after 30 minutes, with the tape going from one side to the other). The following error appears in /var/log/messages when I stop the operation by ejecting the tape manually (pressing the 'Eject' button): Jan 8 02:22:08 giskard /kernel: (sa0:ahc1:0:0:0): SPACE.

I normally talk to them from FreeBSD through the ugen driver; the uftdi driver should be a more specific solution, but it didn't seem to work too well last time I tried it (and I had already developed a lot of stuff using ugen before uftdi appeared). You can buy pre-assembled boards with the FTDI parts and related support components - giving you a simple bidirectional 8-bits plus strobe/ready, including a version with a Scenix/Ubicom SX48 (PIC-alike) MCU attached. The latter make great universal do-anything interfaces for small volume products. See http://www.gigatechnology.com/ or http://www.dlpdesign.com/ for suppliers of such boards.

I originally thought that these chips were supported on -CURRENT but not on -STABLE because I had no problems installing -CURRENT. On further investigation I find that the chip is properly initialized on reboot only 50% of the time on both -CURRENT and -STABLE, so it was just a matter of chance. I find that half the time the chip will not properly sense the 100baseTX medium it is connected to and defaults to 1000baseSX and complains about 'no carrier'. If this happens then it will respond to an 'ifconfig media 100baseTX' with a 'device not configured' error, although it will accept other ifconfig commands to change address, netmask, etc. Anyone else seeing this?

I never got much help with that request so I am reposting with some additional information I have collected since then. My system is currently running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE from Dec 4. The system is a ASUS TUSL2-C motherboard with a Pentium III-1.133ghz. This motherboard has the Intel ICH2 chipset on it for the IDE controller. I purchased a WD 180GB hard drive (2MB cache -- non-special edition): ATA/ATAPI revision 6 device model WDC WD1800BB-00DAA0 serial number WD-WMACK1027562 firmware revision 63.13F63 cylinders 16383 heads 16 sectors/track 63 lba supported 268435455 sectors lba48 supported 351651888 sectors dma supported overlap not supported Feature Support Enable Value Vendor write cache yes yes read ahead yes yes dma queued no no 0/00 SMART yes yes microcode download yes yes security yes yes power management yes yes advanced power management no no 0/00 automatic acoustic management yes no 254/FE 128/80 At first, I attached this to the onboard ICH2-based controller and I was seeing hard hangs about every 1-2 days that required a power-off to correct. On the console I would see: ad4: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting something about removing the drive from the config then the system slowly grinded to a halt. If I just hit the reset button then the system will not find the hard drive on the reboot. I have to hit the power button to make it find the hard drive again. The hard drive also came with a "free" ATA100 controller made by promise that supoported the ATA6 command-set so I then tried this controller: atapci0: port 0xb400-0xb40f,0xb800-0xb803,0xd000-0xd007,0xd400-0xd403,0xd800-0xd807 mem 0xf3800000-0xf3803fff irq 9 at device 10.0 on pci2 With this controller the system lasts longer than 1-2 days but still crashes in the same way after about 1 week. In the original setup (on the onboard controller) I had the hard drive on channel 0 configured as an only drive and had an LS-120 and DVD-ROM on channel 1. When I moved the hard drive over to the Promise PCI card, I left the LS-120 and CD-ROM drive on the onbaord controller and moved only the hard drive. Next, I tried swapping out the hard drive for a another one. This one was a WD 200GB special edition (8MB cache): ATA/ATAPI revision 6 device model WDC WD2000JB-00DUA0 serial number WD-WMACK1058547 firmware revision 63.13F63 cylinders 16383 heads 16 sectors/track 63 lba supported 268435455 sectors lba48 supported 390721968 sectors dma supported overlap not supported Feature Support Enable Value Vendor write cache yes yes read ahead yes yes dma queued no no 0/00 SMART yes no microcode download yes yes security yes no power management yes yes advanced power management no no 0/00 automatic acoustic management yes no 254/FE 128/80 With this drive I tried both controllers as above and got the same results. Then i saw some thread about how bad cables could potentially contribute to this problem so I tried three different "new" cables I had. None of these worked either so I went to the local computer parts store and purchased a ATA100/ATA133 cable and that didn't work either. So then I tried disable DMA, tags, etc: hw.ata.ata_dma: 0 hw.ata.wc: 0 hw.ata.tags: 0 hw.ata.atapi_dma: 0 This still didn't work. I should also mention that I have two other FreeBSD boxes here with similar configurations to this box (same mb, same processor) but use a Seagate ATAV drive. Both of those systems work fine. So I'm not sure if the problem has something to do with the WD drives or if it has something to do with the ATA6 support (for larger than 137GB hard drives). For reference the info on the two segate drives (both of these are configured as master drives on chanell 0 of the onboard controller -- like wise a LS-120 and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM are on channel 1) in their respective computers: ATA/ATAPI revision 5 device model ST360021A serial number 3HR02PJF firmware revision 3.05 cylinders 16383 heads 16 sectors/track 63 lba supported 117231408 sectors lba48 not supported dma supported overlap not supported Feature Support Enable Value Vendor write cache yes yes read ahead yes yes dma queued no no 0/00 SMART yes no microcode download yes yes security yes no power management yes yes advanced power management no no 65278/FEFE automatic acoustic management yes yes 128/80 128/80 ATA/ATAPI revision 5 device model ST340016A serial number 3HS031PZ firmware revision 3.05 cylinders 16383 heads 16 sectors/track 63 lba supported 78165360 sectors lba48 not supported dma supported overlap not supported Feature Support Enable Value Vendor write cache yes yes read ahead yes yes dma queued no no 0/00 SMART yes no microcode download yes yes security yes no power management yes yes advanced power management no no 65278/FEFE automatic acoustic management yes yes 128/80 128/80 When I took the 180GB out of the FreeBSD box and replace it with the 200GB drive, I put the 180GB drive in my Mac and it has been working flawlessly over there since the middle of november. Has anyone had any luck with large hard drives or these WD drives? I can't think of anything else to try. -- Keith Mitchell Email: kmitch@guru.org PGP key available upon request To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Jan 10 6:51:39 2003 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 BCD0637B401 for ; Fri, 10 Jan 2003 06:51:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from greendale.ukc.ac.uk (greendale.ukc.ac.uk [129.12.21.13]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B32D543F5B for ; Fri, 10 Jan 2003 06:51:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from A.Simon@ukc.ac.uk) Received: from myrtle.ukc.ac.uk ([129.12.3.176] ident=root) by greendale.ukc.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 3.22 #4) id 18X0VG-0007ls-00; Fri, 10 Jan 2003 14:51:22 +0000 Received: from as49 by myrtle.ukc.ac.uk with local (Exim 3.36 #1) id 18X0VF-0007Un-00; Fri, 10 Jan 2003 14:51:21 +0000 Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 14:51:21 +0000 From: Axel Simon To: Keith Mitchell Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ATA problems (still) Message-ID: <20030110145121.GE16712@myrtle.ukc.ac.uk> References: <20030110142540.GA1179@weenix.guru.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20030110142540.GA1179@weenix.guru.org> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i X-UKC-Mail-System: No virus detected Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi Keith, the only thing that comes to my mind is overheating.

If it was heat related I would think it would have roughly the same time before failing. I would also think that if there was a heat problem in my case, then one of the SCSI hard drives I had in there before would have had problems as well (previously I had 4 7200 RPM SCSI drives in the system). -- Keith Mitchell Email: kmitch@guru.org PGP key available upon request To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Jan 10 11:13:48 2003 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 2F0F037B401; Fri, 10 Jan 2003 11:13:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtp-3.paradise.net.nz (smtp-3a.paradise.net.nz [202.0.32.196]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 63EC943F18; Fri, 10 Jan 2003 11:13:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from james.pole@paradise.net.nz) Received: from 203-79-102-113.tnt14.paradise.net.nz (203-79-102-113.tnt14.paradise.net.nz [203.79.102.113]) by smtp-3.paradise.net.nz (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0FB7DAE361; Sat, 11 Jan 2003 08:13:42 +1300 (NZDT) Subject: Re: ATA problems (still) From: James Pole To: Keith Mitchell Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org, freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org, sos@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <20030110142540.GA1179@weenix.guru.org> References: <20030110142540.GA1179@weenix.guru.org> Content-Type: text/plain Organization: Message-Id: <1042226012.32941.11.camel@localhost> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.2.0 Date: 11 Jan 2003 08:13:32 +1300 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Sat, 2003-01-11 at 03:25, Keith Mitchell wrote: > Then i saw some thread about how bad cables could potentially contribute > to this problem so I tried three different "new" cables I had.

Have you tried using a good cable that you know works, from a different setup to see if it makes a difference? Maybe the cable you bought was a bad cable -- rare, but it could happen. Also, make sure you've connected the cables properly. > > So then I tried disable DMA, tags, etc: > > hw.ata.ata_dma: 0 > hw.ata.wc: 0 > hw.ata.tags: 0 > hw.ata.atapi_dma: 0 > > This still didn't work.

Perhaps the motherboard you were trying the WD HDDs on has a faulty IDE and/or PCI controller or maybe the motherboard itself is faulty. The fact it works on one computer but has problems on another seems to somewhat support my theory. Perhaps you could swap in your WD HDD onto one of your Seagate computers and see what happens then. It might also be intresting to put the Seagate on the computer that was running the WD HDDs and see if it shows the same problem as the WD HDD. I hope you find my suggestions useful. - James -- James Pole ICQ: 21721828 AIM: kiwijames1986 MSN: james.pole@paradise.net.nz SMS: +64-210-455-139 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Jan 10 17:59:37 2003 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 13B3537B401 for ; Fri, 10 Jan 2003 17:59:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from 002.216-123-229-0.interbaun.com (002.216-123-229-0.interbaun.com [216.123.229.2]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6EFFC43F43 for ; Fri, 10 Jan 2003 17:59:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from soralx@cydem.zp.ua) Received: from 128.216-123-229-0.interbaun.com (vasya [192.168.0.3]) by 002.216-123-229-0.interbaun.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h0B1xWr07446 for ; Fri, 10 Jan 2003 18:59:33 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from soralx@cydem.zp.ua) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" From: To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ATA problems (still) Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 18:58:55 -0700 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.4] References: <20030110142540.GA1179@weenix.guru.org> In-Reply-To: <20030110142540.GA1179@weenix.guru.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-Id: <200301101858.55097.soralx@cydem.zp.ua> Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > Has anyone had any luck with large hard drives or these WD drives?
