NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     hatm -- Device driver for Fore/Marconi HE155 and HE622 ATM interfaces

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     device hatm
     device utopia
     device atm
     options NATM

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The hatm device driver supports the FORE (now Marconi) HE155 and HE622
     ATM interface cards.  The driver interfaces with the natm(4) framework,
     netgraph(4) and the HARP ATM stack.  It provides only PVC services. Signalling,
 ATMARP, ILMI and other higher layer protocols are implemented
     using netgraph(4) or HARP.

     For configuring the card for IP see natmip(4).

     The following sysctls are recognized by the driver additionally to those
     handled by utopia(4):

     hw.atm.hatm.natm_traffic
	  This is the traffic type to be used for NATM pvc connections. The
	  type of this variable is integer and it must have one of the values
	  0 (UBR) or 1 (CBR).

     hw.atm.hatm.natm_pcr
	  This is the peak cell rate to be used for NATM CBR connections.

     hw.atm.hatmN.stats
	  Contains an array of uint32_t with device specific statistics.

     hw.atm.hatmN.istats
	  Contains an array of uint32_t with internal driver statistics.

     hw.atm.hatmN.debug
	  (only if debugging enabled) These are the debugging flags. See
	  if_hatmvar.h() for the possible flags.

     hw.atm.hatmN.tsr
	  (only if debugging enabled) This is an array containing all transmission
 status registers. For each of the 4096 possible VCCs there
	  are 15 32-bit registers.

     hw.atm.hatmN.tpd
	  (only if debugging enabled) This is an array containing all on card
	  current transmission packet descriptors.  For each of the 4096 possible
 VCCs there are 16 32-bit registers.

     hw.atm.hatmN.mbox
	  (only if debugging enabled) This is an array containing the mbox
	  registers.

     hw.atm.hatmN.cm
	  (only if debugging enabled) This is an array containing all connection
 memory registers.  The first 32-bit integer of this array is
	  the ABR base address.

     hw.atm.hatmN.heregs
	  (only if debugging enabled) This is an array containing all card
	  registers including SUNI and the FLASH ROM.

     hw.atm.hatmN.lbmem
	  (only if debugging enabled) Returns the contents of the local memory.


     The driver supports the media options sdh, noscramb and unassigned (see
     utopia(4) ).

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     hatm0: <FORE HE> mem 0xd2600000-0xd26fffff irq 9 at device 15.0 on pci2
     hatm0: ForeRunnerHE 622, Rev. D, S/N 2949834, MAC=00:20:48:2d:02:ca

ENVIRONMENT    [Toc]    [Back]

     When attaching to a device the driver checks the kernel environment (see
     kenv(4)) to see if the default queues sizes should be overwritten or not.
     The following variables are checked and interpreted as unsigned integer
     values (in either radix):

     hw.hatmN.rbps0_size
	  Size of the small receive buffer pool 0. This pool is used for all
	  except raw AAL connections. The pool size must be a power of two
	  between 4 and 8192 inclusive. When attaching the driver allocates
	  this number of mbufs.

     hw.hatmN.rbps0_thresh
	  Interrupt threshold for small receive buffer pool 0. When the number
	  of free buffers in the pool falls below this threshold it generates
	  an interrupt so that the driver can refill the pool.

     hw.hatmN.rbpl0_thresh
	  Size of the large receive buffer pool 0. This pool is used for all
	  except raw AAL connections. The pool size must be a power of two
	  between 4 and 8192 inclusive. When attaching the driver allocates
	  this number of mbufs with clusters.

     hw.hatmN.rbpl0_thresh
	  Interrupt threshold for large receive buffer pool 0. When the number
	  of free buffers in the pool falls below this threshold it generates
	  an interrupt so that the driver can refill the pool.

     hw.hatmN.rbrq0_size
	  Size of receive buffer return queue 0. This queue is used to return
	  buffers filled with received frames to the driver. The size must be
	  a power of 2 between 1 and 16384 inclusive.

     hw.hatmN.rbrq0_thresh
	  Interrupt threshold for receive buffer return queue 0. This threshold
 should only be triggered in exceptional cases.

     hw.hatmN.rbrq0_tout
	  Interrupt timeout for receive buffer return queue 0. An interrupt is
	  generated after this time if the queue is not empty. The number is
	  in internal card ticks.

     hw.hatmN.rbrq0_pcnt
	  Packet count threshold for receive buffer return queue 0. An interrupt
 is generated if this number of packets is in the queue.

     hw.hatmN.rbps1_size
	  Size of the small receive buffer pool 1. This pool is used for all
	  raw AAL connections. The pool size must be a power of two between 4
	  and 8192 inclusive. When attaching the driver allocates this number
	  of mbufs.

     hw.hatmN.rbps1_thresh
	  Interrupt threshold for small receive buffer pool 1. When the number
	  of free buffers in the pool falls below this threshold it generates
	  an interrupt so that the driver can refill the pool.

     hw.hatmN.rbrq1_size
	  Size of receive buffer return queue 1. This queue is used to return
	  buffers filled with received cells to the driver. The size must be a
	  power of 2 between 1 and 16384 inclusive.

     hw.hatmN.rbrq1_thresh
	  Interrupt threshold for receive buffer return queue 1. This threshold
 should only be triggered in exceptional cases.

     hw.hatmN.rbrq1_tout
	  Interrupt timeout for receive buffer return queue 1. An interrupt is
	  generated after this time if the queue is not empty. The number is
	  in internal card ticks.

     hw.hatmN.rbrq1_pcnt
	  Packet count threshold for receive buffer return queue 0. An interrupt
 is generated if this number of cells is in the queue.

     hw.hatmN.irq0_size
	  Size of interrupt queue 0. This must be a number between 1 and 1023
	  inclusive.

     hw.hatmN.irq0_thresh
	  Interrupt retrigger threshold of interrupt queue 0. A new interrupt
	  is trigger if the queue fill state reaches this threshold and the
	  interrupt was no served.

     hw.hatmN.tbrq0_size
	  Transmit buffer return queue 0 size. This queue is used to feed back
	  empty buffers of transmitted frames back to the driver. It must be a
	  power of 2 between 1 and 4096 inclusive.

     hw.hatmN.tbrq0_thresh
	  Transmit buffer return queue 0 threshold. An interrupt is generated
	  if the queue fill state reaches this point.

     hw.hatmN.tpdrq_size
	  Transmit descriptor ready queue size. This queue is used by the
	  driver to feed transmit descriptors into the card. The size must be
	  a power of 2 between 1 and 16384 inclusive.

     hw.hatmN.tpdmax
	  Maximum number of active TPDs per connection. This controls the maximum
 number of outstanding packet chunks per connection and thus the
	  maximum delay packets can have because of queueing on the adapter.
	  If set to 0, a connection can eat up all available TPDs.

     hw.hatmN.mbuf_max_pages
	  Maximum number of memory pages allocated to small external mbufs.
	  This must not be zero and not larger than 65536.

CAVEATS    [Toc]    [Back]

     When putting a HE155 into a 64-bit 66MHz PCI slot the machine may hang.
     This occures very early in the POST so that even the display does not
     turn on.  The HE155 runs only in 33MHz slots (either 32 or 64-bit).
     HE622 cards work just fine in 64-bit slots.

     The driver may not work with bounce buffer, because of bus_dma_sync()
     missing the offset and len arguments the NetBSD function has.
