The Director/VP who is "Sponsoring" this project: mike.sanfratello@sun.com 1.4.4. The name of your business unit: CSW 1.5. Email Aliases: 1.5.1. Responsible Manager: ron.bielaski@sun.com 1.5.2. Responsible Engineer: yajyun.wang@sun.com 1.5.3. Marketing Manager: 1.5.4. Interest List: 2. Project Summary 2.1. Project Description: Device bindings for the XVR-50 (RN50) graphics controller. The RN50 is a low cost 2D graphics controller from ATI. The drivers and FCode are developed and maintained by the common software graphics team. 2.2. Risks and Assumptions: The binding is a template and sometimes is not completely consistent with the implementation. The binding is intended to be a living document, updated as necessary. 3. Business Summary 3.1. Problem Area: Bindings need to be standardized to enable client programs to identify and access the XVR-50 display controller. 4. Technical Description: 4.1. Details: This will define a set of bindings for the XVR-50 graphics controller. 4.1.1 Device properties: "name" Type: Prop-endoded-string Contents: Standard property name, defines the device's name Value: "display" "device_type" Type: Prop-encded-string Contents: Standard property name to specify the implemented interface Value: "display" "compatible" Type: Prop-encoded-array of prop-encoded-strings Contents: Standard property name, defines devices with which this device is compatible Value: "SUNW,XVR-50" "reg" Type: Prop-encoded-array, list of property-encoded integers Contents: Standard property name, defines the device's addressable space. The format is determined by the parent nexus. Format: { phys.hi phys.mid phys.lo size.hi size.lo } [Format for PCI bus parent.] "model" Type: Prop-endoded-string Contents: IEEE1275 Standard optional property, specifies device's model Value: "XVR-50" "character-set" Type: Prop-endoded-string Contents: IEEE1275 Standard property for display devices, specifies device's character set encoding Value: "ISO8859-1" [Sample for value.] "interrupts" Type: Prop-endoded-integer-array Contents: IEEE1275 Standard optional property, specifies device's interrupts Value: 00000001 Additional standard properties will be generated by the device's parent bus driver and will not be described here. Please see the specification for the parent bus for details. 4.1.2 Device methods: The XVR-50 driver implements the following standard methods as defined in the Open Firmware bindings for "display" devices: write ( addr len -- actual ) Write memory buffer to device, return actual byte count. draw-logo ( line# addr width height -- ) Calls draw-logo routine for this device. restore ( -- ) Restore device to useable state after unexpected reset. The following standard Open Firmware methods are created by the terminal-emulator support package: open ( -- okay? ) Prepare this device for subsequent use. close ( -- ) Close this previously opened device. selftest ( -- ?error? ) Perform self-test for this device. The following methods are created by and private to the terminal-emulator package and should not be used otherwise. install remove disp-test 4.2.

We talked about this at 3.next. This is ATI's proprietary magic. Their initialization code is secret, and embedded only in binaries which customers don't get to look at. Even we don't get to know how to initialize the chip, so the Solaris driver can't either.

Either way, the chip has to be initialized by firmware, no matter what the firmware is. That said, I guess I don't really care if the compatible propery is SUNW,whatever. -David From sacadmin Fri Aug 31 09:32:57 2007 Received: from sunmail4.Singapore.Sun.COM (sunmail4.Singapore.Sun.COM [129.158.71.19]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id l7VGWujf024757 for ; Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:32:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM (nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.11.74]) by sunmail4.Singapore.Sun.COM (8.13.4+Sun/8.13.3/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id l7VGUEQ9004676 for <@sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com:fwarc@sun.com>; Sat, 1 Sep 2007 00:30:16 +0800 (SGT) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0JNN0090RCIE3O00@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM> for fwarc@sun.com (ORCPT fwarc@sun.com); Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:30:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from brmea-mail-4.sun.com ([192.18.98.36]) by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0JNN001M1CIDQ4B0@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM> for fwarc@sun.com (ORCPT fwarc@sun.com); Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:30:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fe-amer-01.sun.com ([192.18.108.175]) by brmea-mail-4.sun.com (8.13.6+Sun/8.12.9) with ESMTP id l7VGUDPt010707 for ; Fri, 31 Aug 2007 16:30:13 +0000 (GMT) Received: from conversion-daemon.mail-amer.sun.com by mail-amer.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)) id <0JNN00001C7T3000@mail-amer.sun.com> (original mail from S.Jain@Sun.COM) for fwarc@sun.com (ORCPT fwarc@sun.com); Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:30:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: from [129.150.19.131] by mail-amer.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)) with ESMTPSA id <0JNN00I27CICT9M5@mail-amer.sun.com> for fwarc@sun.com (ORCPT fwarc@sun.com); Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:30:12 -0600 (MDT) Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:30:27 -0700 From: Sunit Jain Subject: Re: FWARC/2007/495 fast-track : XVR-50 device binding In-reply-to: <46D4E1A6.3080505@sun.com> Sender: S.Jain@sun.com To: Firmware Arch Cc: Eduardo E Horvath - Sun Microsystems - Newark United States Reply-to: S.Jain@sun.com Message-id: <46D84223.2080906@Sun.Com> Organization: Sun Microsystems, Inc.

"XVR-50" Uncommitted "model" property value I think we should explicitly state that this device needs initialization by OpenBoot before it can be used. OpenBoot will initialize the device and create properties as defined by the case. If the property values do not match then device should not be used by client program. In other words, if the properties match then device is assumed to be initialized by OpenBoot. -- Hitendra Zhangada ============================================= SPS Common SW Features Engineering Software Group, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

I guess it is but since initialization by OpenBoot is a key requirement, it won't hurt to mention something about it. May be as a note. This can help future reader of the specification.
