The interface between the microcode and the host -device driver is specified in the FORE ATM Adaptation Layer Interface (AALI) -(available from ftp.fore.com:/pub/docs/port). HARP uses microcode supplied -by FORE Systems. The HARP device driver for the FORE adapter (hfa) conforms -to the AALI specification. - -As part of the HARP ATM initialization procedure, the HARP 'fore_dnld' utility -must be invoked in order to load the microcode file into each FORE adapter. -However, the microcode file is NOT included in the FreeBSD distribution. It is -the user's responsibility to obtain and install the FORE microcode file. Below -are notes to assist users in finding and installing microcode known to work -with HARP. - -FORE microcode files can be obtained from either FORE's web site -(http://www.fore.com) or the CD distributed with new FORE adapters. -When using FORE's web site, you must have a valid login to access the -TACtics Online section of the site. The software download section is -available via the 'Services & Support'->'TACtics Online'->Software links. - -If you are currently using HARP and already have a working microcode file, -that microcode will continue to work with this release of HARP. - - -PCA200E -------- - -From the FORE web pages, the following PCA200E adapter distributions -are known to have microcode which will work with HARP: - - pc_adapter->OS/2->archive->os2_4.0.2_1.20.200.zip - unzip the file and execute the command: - - cp -p <unzip_directory>/Drivers/PCA200E.BIN /etc/pca200e.bin - - pc_adapter->'Windows NT'->archive->pca2e_12.zip - unzip the file and execute the command: - - cp -p <unzip_directory>/NT/I386/PCA200E.BIN /etc/pca200e.bin - - -The following distributions from the FORE web pages are known to have -microcode which will NOT work with HARP: - - pc_adapter: - OS/2: - release: - os2_4.1.0_1.74.zip - Windows95: - archive: - pc-w95_5.0.0.16432.zip - win95_4.0.3_1.04.200.zip - win95_4.1.6_1.16.zip - release: - pc-w95_4.1.6_27.zip - Windows NT: - archive: - pc-nt_5.0.0_16342.zip - winnt_4.0.3_1.05.200.zip - winnt_4.1.2_1.27.zip - winnt_4.1.6_1.16.zip - release: - pc-nt_4.1.6_27.zip - pc-nt_i386_5.0.0_25096.zip - - -From the "ForeRunner 200E for PC/Mac" distribution CD-ROM, the following -PCA200E adapter distributions are known to have microcode which will work -with HARP (assuming the CD-ROM is mounted on /cdrom): - - /cdrom/rel4.0/os2/ - execute the command: - - cp -p /cdrom/rel4.0/os2/drivers/pca200e.bin /etc/pca200e.bin - - -Note: Windows-based files are supplied in a compressed form. If the -'fore_dnld' command complains about an unrecognized header format, you should -try to uncompress the microcode file. To do so, move the file in binary mode -to a DOS/Windows machine and use the DOS command 'expand' to uncompress the -file. The command syntax is: - - expand <in-file> <out-file> - -Move the resulting <out-file> in binary mode back to the HARP machine as -/etc/pca200e.bin and try to initialize the ATM system again. - - @(#) $FreeBSD$ |
