- <title>De quoi avez vous besoin pour faire fonctionner &os; sur
- une plateforme Alpha?</title>
-
- <para>Bien sur, vous devez disposer d'une machine Alpha reconnue
- par &os;. Les machines Alpha ne sont PAS comme des PCs. Il existe
- un nombre consid&eacute;rable de diff&eacute;rences entre les
- diff&eacute;rents composants de base et les architectures de cartes
- m&egrave;res. Cela veut dire que le noyau doit connaîtres les
- d&eacute;tails les plus fins de la machine sur laquelle il doit
- fonctionner. Cela veut dire que un noyau
- <filename>GENERIC</filename> risque, la plupart du temps de ne pas
- fonctionner.</para>
-
- <para>Pour une machine sur laquelle vous d&eacute;sirez faire
- fonctionner &os;, assurez vous que le microcode de la console SRM
- est install&eacute;. Ou assurez vous que le microcode de console SRM
- est disponible pour ce type de machine. Si &os; ne supporte pas
- encore votre type de machine, il y a beaucoup de chance pour que
- cela change dans l'avenir, si le SRM est disponible. Toutes ces
- assomptions sont fausses si le microcode de console SRM n'est pas
- disponible.</para>
-
- <para>Les machines disposant d'un microcode de console ARC ou
- AlphaBIOS ont &eacute;t&eacute; pr&eacute;vues pour fonctionner avec
- WindowsNT. Certaines disposent d'un microcode de console SRM dans
- la ROM syst&egrave;me, il suffit de le selectionner (via le menu ARC
- ou AlphaBIOS correspondant). Dans tous les autres cas vous devrez
- r&eacute;-inscrire le code SRM dans les ROMs. V&eacute;rifiez sur
- <link xlink:href="http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware"> le site des
- microcode Alpha</link> pour v&eacute;rifier si il est disponible pour
- votre syst&egrave;me. Dans tous les cas: <quote>no SRM</quote> veut
- dir qu'il n'existe pas pour &os; (ou NetBSD, OpenBSD, Tru64 Unix
- ou OpenVMS). Avec la d&eacute;convenue de WindowNT/alpha, un grand
- nombre de machines NT de seconde main sont vendues. Elles ont
- tr&egrave;s peu ou aucune valeur de revente si elles ne disposent que
- du microcode de console NT. Soyez donc attentif si le prix parait
- trop bon.</para>

- <para>Pour compliquer le tout: Digital a appel&eacute;
- <quote>white-box</quote>, des machines Alpha destin&eacute;es
- uniquement &agrave; WindowsNT et <quote>blue-box</quote> des machines
- Alpha destin&eacute;es uniquement &agrave; OpenVMS et Digital Unix. Ces
- noms correspondent &agrave; la couleur du coffret, respectivement
- <quote>FrostWhite</quote> et <quote>TopGunBlue</quote>. M&ecirc;me si
- vous r&eacute;ussisez &agrave; mettre un microcode de console SRM sur une
- <quote>whitebox</quote>, OpenVMS et Digital Unix refuserons de
- d&eacute;marrer. &os; dans la version post 4.0-RELEASE fonctionnera
- sur ces variantes. Avant tout; les machines <quote>white</quote>
- sont diff&eacute;rentes des autres (lisez: moins cher) machines
- Digital.</para>
-
- <para>Vous obtiendrez le code PAL OSF/1 (OSF/1 est le nom initial
- de Digital Unix sur les plateformes Alpha) comme partie du code
- SRM. Le code PAL peut &ecirc;tre vu comme une couche d'abstraction
- logicielle entre le mat&eacute;riel et le syst&egrave;me
- d'exploitation. Il utilise des instructions processeurs standards
- et r&eacute;serv&eacute;es &agrave; PAL. PAL n'est pas un microcode. Le
- micro-noyau de console ARC contient une version diff&eacute;rente du
- code PAL, d&eacute;velopp&eacute; pour WindowsNT et qui n'est pas
- utilisable par &os; (de fa&ccedil;on plus g&eacute;n&eacute;rale: Unix ou
- OpenVMS). Linux/alpha fournit une version sp&eacute;cifique du code
- PAL, permettant de fonctionner sur les machines ARC et
- AlphaBIOS. Il y a plusieurs raisons pour lesquelles cela n'est pas
- une bonne id&eacute;es pour les d&eacute;veloppeurs des *BSD. Nous ne
- rentrerons pas dans les d&eacute;tails ici. Si vous etes
- intere&eacute;ss&eacute; par les d&eacute;tails, cherchez les sur
- les site web de &os; et NetBSD.</para>
-
- <para>Un autre d&eacute;tail est important: vous devez disposer d'un
- adaptateur de disque reconnu par le code de console SRM, si vous
- voulez d&eacute;marrer depuis un disque. Pour les machines anciennes
- bas&eacute;es sur du PCI, cela veut dire que vous devez disposer d'une
- adaptateur bas&eacute; sur un NCR/Symbios 53C810 ou Qlogic
- 1020/1040. Certaines machines disposent d'un composant SCSI sur la
- carte m&egrave;re. Les machines et version de SRM plus r&eacute;centes
- sont capables de fonctionner avec des composants/adaptateurs SCSI
- plus modernes. V&eacute;rifiez les informations sp&eacute;cifiques
- &agrave; la machine utilis&eacute; ci-dessous. Notez que la suite
- de ce document ref&egrave;re aux machines disposant d'un composant
- Symbios, cela correspond aussi aux plus vieux composants
- not&eacute; NCR. Symbios ayant rachet&eacute; Symbios.</para>
-
- <para>Les principaux probl&egrave;mes se posent pour les personnes
- ayant des machines qui ont commenc&eacute; leur vie avec
- WindowsNT. ARC et AlphaBIOS d&eacute;tectent
- <emphasis>d'autres</emphasis> adaptateurs que ceux sur lesquels
- SRM est capable de d&eacute;marrer. Par exemple, vous pouvez
- d&eacute;marr&eacute; sur une carte Adaptec 2940UW avec ARC/AlphaBios,
- mais (g&eacute;n&eacute;rallement) pas avec SRM. Certaines nouvelles
- machines ont introduit le support Adaptec pour le
- d&eacute;marrage. Consultez la section sp&eacute;cifique de votre machine
- pour plus de d&eacute;tails.</para>
-
- <para>La plupart des adaptateurs qui ne permettent pas de
- d&eacute;marrer fonctionnent parfaitement pour une utilisation en
- disque de donn&eacute;es. Les diff&eacute;rences entre SRM et ARC peuvent
- &eacute;galement apparaitre dans les syst&egrave;mes (principalement
- Windows NT) disposant de disques dur et de CDROM IDE
- int&eacute;gr&eacute;s. Des versions de SRM permettant de
- d&eacute;marrer sur des disques IDE ou des CDROM existent (cela
- d&eacute;pend du type de machine). Consultez la section
- sp&eacute;cifique &agrave; votre machine pour plus de
- d&eacute;tails.</para>
-
- <para>&os; 4.0 et sup&eacute;rieur peut &ecirc;tre d&eacute;marrer
- depuis le CDROM de distribution. Les version
- pr&eacute;c&eacute;dentes doivent d&eacute;marrer depuis une
- version 2 disquettes.</para>
-
- <para>Dans le but d'&ecirc;tre d&eacute;marrable, la partition root
- (partition a) doit se situer au d&eacute;but du disque (offset
- 0). Cela veut dire que vous devez utiliser l'installeur dans le
- menu partition et assigner la partition <quote>a</quote> avec un
- offset de 0 &agrave; la partition de base. La suite du partitionnement
- peut se faire comme vous le d&eacute;sirer. Si vous ne respecter pas
- cette r&egrave;gle, le reste de l'installation de passera bien, mais
- le syst&egrave;me refusera de d&eacute;marrer sur ce disque.</para>
-
- <para>Si vous ne disposez pas de disque local, vous pouvez
- d&eacute;marrer via le r&eacute;seau Ethernet. Cela n&eacute;cessite un
- adaptateur Ethernet reconnu par la console SRM. G&eacute;n&eacute;ralement
- G&eacute;n&eacute;rallement il vous faut dispose d'une interface
- bas&eacute; sur une interface 21040 ou 21142 ou 21143. Les
- anciennes machines ou version de SRM ne reconnaissent pas les
- composants 21142/21143 Fast Ethernet, vous etes donc
- limit&eacute;s &agrave; 10Mb pour un d&eacute;marrage par le
- r&eacute;seau de ces machines. Les cartes non fabriqu&eacute;es
- par DEC bas&eacute;es sur ces composants vont
- g&eacute;n&eacute;rallement(mais cela n'est pas garanti)
- fonctionner correctement. Notez que Intel &agrave; continu&eacute;
- les puces 21x4x lorsqu'ils ont rachet&eacute; Digital
- Semiconductor. Vous risquez donc de voir un logo Intel sur elle un
- de ces jours. Les machines r&eacute;centes disposent d'un support
- SRM pour les puces Ethernet Intel 8255x.</para>
-
- <para>Les machines Alpha peuvent fonctionner avec SRM sur une
- console graphique ou une console s&eacute;rie. ARC peut aussi
- fonctionner sur des consoles s&eacute;ries. L'&eacute;mulation VT100 avec
- 8 bits de controle doit vous permettre de passer du mode
- ARC/AlphaBIOS au mode SRM sans avoir &agrave; installer une carte
- graphique.</para>
-
- <para>Si vous d&eacute;sirez utiliser une machine Alpha sans moniteur
- ou carte graphique, ne connectez pas de clavier ou de souris
- dessus. Branchez plutot un terminal s&eacute;rie[emulateur] sur le
- port s&eacute;rie num&eacute;ro 1. SRM disloguera alors en 9600N81. Cela
- est tr&egrave;s pratique pour d&eacute;bogguer. Attention: certains/la
- plupart (?) des codes SRMs vous pr&eacute;senteront un prompt console
- sur le port s&eacute;rie num&eacute;ro 2. Le noyau de
- d&eacute;marrage quand a lui, affichera les message de
- d&eacute;marrage sur le port s&eacute;rie num&eacute;ro 1 et
- activera la console sur ce port aussi. <emphasis>Cela peut porter
- &agrave; confusion.</emphasis></para>
-
-
- <para>La plupart des machines Alpha disposant d'un bus PCI,
- peuvent utiliser des cartes VGA de type PC. Le code SRM est
- suffisant pour les faire fonctionner. Cela ne veut pas dire que
- toutes les cartes CGA PCI du march&eacute; fonctionneront sur des
- machines Alpha. Les cartes de type S3 Trio64, Mach64, et Matrox
- Millennium fonctionnent. Les vieilles cartes ISA bas&eacute;es sur
- ET4000 fonctionnent aussi pour moi. Mais poser la question autour
- de vous avant d'en acheter une.</para>
-
- <para>La plupart des p&eacute;riph&eacute;riques PCI du monde PC
- fonctionnent avec des machines &os; bas&eacute;es sur du
- PCI. V&eacute;rifiez le dernier fichier
- <filename>/sys/alpha/conf/GENERIC</filename> pour plus
- d'informations. V&eacute;rifiez la partie sur la machine appropri&eacute;e
- dans le cas ou vous d&eacute;sirez utilisez des cartes PCI qui
- disposent de ponts PCI. Dans certains cas vous risquez d'obtenir
- des probl&egrave;mes avec les cartes PCI qui ne g&egrave;rent pas
- correctement la parit&eacute; PCI. Cela peut conduire a des panics du
- syst&egrave;me. Le controle de parit&eacute; PCI peut &ecirc;tre
- d&eacute;sactiv&eacute; en utilisant la commande SRM suivante:</para>
-
- <screen><prompt>&gt;&gt;&gt;</prompt> <userinput>SET PCI_PARITY OFF</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>Cela n'est pas un probl&egrave;me &os;, tous les syst&egrave;mes
- d'exploitation fonctionnant sur du mat&eacute;riel Alpha n&eacute;cessite
- ce contournement.</para>
-
- <para>Si votre syst&egrave;me contient (aussi) des slots d'extension
- EISA vous devez executer l'utilitaire de configuration EISA(ECU)
- apr&egrave;s l'installation des cartes EISA ou apr&egrave;s la
- mise &agrave; jour du micro-noyau de la console.</para>
-
- <para>Il y a plusieurs g&eacute;n&eacute;rations de processeurs Alpha. La
- processeur original est le 21064. Il a aussi &eacute;t&eacute;
- produit sous le nom de MOS4, les puces fabriqu&eacute; sous ce nom
- sont aussi connues sous le nom de EV4. Les nouveaux processeurs
- sont 21164, 21264, etc... Vous trouverez les d&eacute;signations
- suivantes EV4S, EV45, EV5, EV56, EV6, EV67, EV68. Les EVs
- disposant de 2 num&eacute;ros sont des versions
- am&eacute;lior&eacute;es. Par example EV45 est une version
- am&eacute;lior&eacute;e au niveau des nombre flottants et dispose
- d'une puce de 16 kBytes&eacute;par&eacute;e pour le cache I &amp;
- D, compar&eacute; &agrave; la version EV4 sur laquelle il est
- bas&eacute;. Plus grand est le nombre suivant imm&eacute;diatement
- <quote>EV</quote>, plus il est interessant (lisez: rapide/plus
- moderne).</para>
-
- <para>Au niveau m&eacute;moire, vous devez disposer d'au moins
- 32Mbytes. J'ai r&eacute;ussi &agrave; faire fonctionner &os; sur un
- syst&egrave;me disposant de 16Mbyte, mais cela n'est pas tr&egrave;s
- amusant. Le temps de compilation a &eacute;t&eacute; divis&eacute; par 2
- lorsque j'ai disposer de 32 Mbytes. Notez que la console SRM
- n&eacute;cessite 2Mbyte de m&eacute;moire. Pour fonctionner correctement
- 64 Mbytes de m&eacute;moire est le minimum recommand&eacute;.</para>
-
- <para>Pendant que nous sommes dans le sujet de la m&eacute;moire,
- faites attention au type de m&eacute;moire utilis&eacute; par votre
- machine. Il y a &eacute;norm&eacute;ment de configurations
- m&eacute;moire pour chaque machine.</para>
-
- <para>Pour finir: j'esp&egrave;re que les informations ci-dessus
- seront suffisantes pour un utilisateur novice
- d'Alpha. N'h&eacute;sitez pas &agrave; poser des questions sir quelque
- chose n'est pas clair apr&egrave;s la lecture de ce document.</para>

- <para>Aspen Alpine is slightly different, but is close enough to the
- EB64+ to run an EB64+ SRM EPROM (mine did..). The Aspen Alpine does
- not have an embedded Ethernet, has 3 instead of 2 PCI slots. It comes
- with 2 Mbytes of cache already soldered onto the mainboard. It has
- jumpers to select the use of 60, 70 or 80ns SIMM speeds.</para>

- <para>36 bits SIMMs work fine, 3 bits simply remain unused. Note
- the systems use Fast Page Mode memory, not EDO memory.</para>
-
- <para>The EB64+ SRM console code is housed in an UV-erasable EPROM. No
- easy flash SRM upgrades for the EB64+ The latest SRM version available
- for EB64+ is quite ancient anyway.</para>
-
- <para>The EB64+ SRM can boot both 53C810 and Qlogic1040 SCSI adapters.
- Pitfall for the Qlogic is that the firmware that is down-loaded by
- the SRM onto the Qlogic chip is very old. There are no updates for the
- EB64+ SRM available. So you are stuck with old Qlogic bits too.
- I have had quite some problems when I wanted to use Ultra-SCSI drives
- on the Alpine with Qlogic. The &os; kernel can be compiled to include
- a much newer Qlogic firmware revision. This is not the default because
- it adds hundreds of kBytes worth of bloat to the kernel. In &os; 4.1
- and later the isp firmware is contained in a kernel loadable module.
- All of this might mean that you need to use a non-Qlogic adapter to
- boot from.</para>

- <para>Using 8 SIMMs for a 256bit wide memory can yield interesting
- speedups over a 4 SIMM/128bit wide memory. Obviously all 8 SIMMs must
- be of the same type to make this work. The system must be explicitly
- setup to use the 8 SIMM memory arrangement. You must have 8 SIMMs,
- 4 SIMMs distributed over 2 banks will not work. For the AlphaPC164
- you can have a maximum of 1Gbyte of RAM, using 8 128Mbyte
- SIMMs. The manual indicates the maximum is 512 Mbyte.</para>
-
- <para>The SRM can boot from Qlogic 10xx boards or the Symbios 53C810[A].
- Newer Symbios 810 revisions like the Symbios 810AE are not recognized by
- the SRM on PC164. PC164 SRM does not appear to recognize a Symbios 53C895
- based host adapter (tested with a Tekram DC-390U2W). On the other hand
- some no-name Symbios 53C985 board has been reported to work.
- Cards like the Tekram DC-390F (Symbios875 based) have been confirmed to
- work fine on the PC164. Unfortunately this seems to be dependent on the
- actual version of the chip/board.</para>
-
- <para>Symbios 53C825[a] will also work as boot adapter. Diamond
- FirePort, although based on Symbios chips, is not bootable by the
- PC164SX SRM. PC164SX is reported to boot fine with Symbios825,
- Symbios875, Symbios895 and Symbios876 based cards. In addition, Adaptec
- 2940U and 2940UW are reported to work for booting (verified on
- SRM V5.7-1). Adaptec 2930U2 and 2940U2[W] do not work.</para>
-
- <para>164LX and 164SX with SRM firmware version 5.8 or later can boot
- from Adaptec 2940-series adapters.</para>
-
- <para>In summary: this family of machines is <quote>blessed</quote> with a
- challenging compatibility as far as SCSI adapters go.</para>
-
- <para>On 164SX you can have a maximum of 1 Gbyte of RAM. 4 regular
- 256MB PC133 ECC DIMMs are reported to work just fine. Whether 512MB
- DIMMs will also work is currently unknown.</para>
-
- <para>PCI bridge chips are sometimes not appreciated by the 164SX,
- they cause SRM errors and kernel panics in those cases. This seems
- to depend on the fact if the card is recognised, and therefore
- correctly initialised, by the SRM console. The 164SX' onboard
- IDE interface is quite slow, a Promise card gives a 3-4 times
- speed improvement.</para>
-
- <para>On PC164 the SRM sometimes seems to lose its variable settings.
- <quote>For PC164, current superstition says that, to avoid losing settings,
- you want to first downgrade to SRM 4.x and then upgrade to 5.x.</quote>

- <para>made the problem go away. Some PC164 owners report they have never seen
- the problem. </para>
-
- <para>On PC164SX the AlphaBIOS allows you a selection to select SRM to
- be used as console on the next power up. This selection does
- not appear to have any effect. In other words, you will get the
- AlphaBIOS regardless of what you select. The fix is to reflash the
- console ROM with the SRM code for PC164SX. This will overwrite the
- AlphaBIOS and will get you the SRM console you desire. The SRM code
- can be found on the Compaq Web site.</para>
-
- <para>164LX can either have the SRM console code or the AlphaBIOS
- code in its flash ROM because the flash ROM is too small to hold
- both at the same time.</para>
-
- <para>PC164 can boot from IDE disks assuming your SRM version is
- recent enough.</para>
-
- <para>EB164 needs a power supply that supplies 3.3 Volts. PC164 does
- not implement the PS_ON signal that ATX power supplies need to switch on.
- A simple switch pulling this signal to ground allows you to run a
- standard ATX power supply.</para>

- <title>Supported Hardware Overview</title>
-
- <para>A word of caution: the installed base for &os; is not
- nearly as large as for &os;/Intel. This means that the enormous
- variation of PCI/ISA expansion cards out there has much less
- chance of having been tested on alpha than on Intel. This is not
- to imply they are doomed to fail, just that the chance of running
- into something never tested before is much higher.
- <filename>GENERIC</filename>
- contains things that are known to work on Alpha only.</para>
-
- <para>The PCI and ISA expansion busses are fully supported. Turbo
- Channel is not in <filename>GENERIC</filename> and has limited
- support (see the relevant machine model info). The MCA bus is not
- supported. The EISA bus is not supported for use with EISA
- expansion cards as the EISA support code is lacking. ISA cards in
- EISA slots are reported to work. The Compaq Qvision EISA VGA card
- is driven in ISA mode and works OK as a console.</para>
-
- <para>1.44 Mbyte and 1.2 Mbyte floppy drives are supported.
- 2.88 Mbyte drives sometimes found in Alpha machines are supported up to
- 1.44Mbyte.</para>
-
- <para>ATA and ATAPI (IDE) devices are supported via the &man.ata.4;
- driver framework. As most people run their Alphas with SCSI disks
- it is not as well tested as SCSI. Be aware of boot-ability
- restrictions for IDE disks. See the machine specific information.</para>
-
- <para>There is full SCSI support via the CAM layer for Adaptec
- 2940x (AIC7xxx chip-based), Qlogic family and Symbios. Be aware of
- the machine-specific boot-ability issues for the various adapter
- types.</para>
-
- <para>The Qlogic QL2x00 FibreChannel host adapters are fully
- supported.</para>
-
- <para>If you want to boot your Alpha over the Ethernet you will
- obviously need an Ethernet card that the SRM console
- recognizes. This generally means you need a board with an 21x4x
- Ethernet chip as that is what Digital used. These chips are driven
- by the &os; &man.de.4; (older driver) or &man.dc.4; (newer
- driver). Some new SRM versions are known to recognize the Intel
- 8255x Ethernet chips as driven by the &os; &man.fxp.4; driver. But
- beware: the &man.fxp.4; driver is reported not to work correctly
- with &os; (although it works excellently on &os;/x86).</para>
-
- <para>DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI network adapters are supported on alpha.</para>
-
- <para>In general the SRM console emulates a VGA-compatibility mode
- on PCI VGA cards. This is, however, not guaranteed to work by
- Compaq/DEC for each and every card type out there. When the SRM
- thinks the VGA is acceptable &os; will be able to use it. The
- console driver works just like on a &os;/intel machine.
- Please note that VESA modes are not supported on Alpha,
- so that leaves you with 80x25 consoles.</para>
-
- <para>In some Alpha machines you will find video adapters based
- on TGA chips. The plain TGA adapter does not emulate VGA and is
- therefore not usable for a &os; console. TGA2 cards have a basic
- VGA compatibility mode and work fine as &os; consoles.</para>
-
- <para>The <quote>PC standard</quote> serial ports found on most
- Alphas are supported.</para>
-
- <para>ISDN (i4b) is not supported on &os;/alpha.</para>

- <para>In compiling this file I used multiple information sources,
- but <link xlink:href="http://www.netbsd.org/">the NetBSD Web
- site</link> proved to be an invaluable source of information. If
- it wasn't for NetBSD/alpha there probably would not be a
- &os;/alpha in the first place.</para>
