+ppbus microseqencer developer's guide
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd "#include <dev/ppbus/ppb_msq.h>"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+See
+.Xr ppbus 4
+for ppbus description and general info about the microsequencer.
+.Pp
+The purpose of this document is to encourage developers to use the
+microsequencer mechanism in order to have:
+.Bl -enum -offset indent
+.It
+a uniform programming model
+.It
+efficient code
+.El
+.Sh INTERFACE
+.Ss C structures
+.Bd -literal
+union ppb_insarg {
+ int i;
+ char c;
+ void *p;
+ int (* f)(void *, char *);
+};
+.Ed
+.Bd -literal
+struct ppb_microseq {
+ int opcode; /* microins. opcode */
+ union ppb_insarg arg[PPB_MS_MAXARGS]; /* arguments */
+};
+.Ed
+.Ss Using microsequences
+.Pp
+To instanciate a microsequence, just declare an array of ppb_microseq
+structures and initialize it as needed. You may either use defined macros
+or code directly your microinstructions according to the ppb_microseq
+definition. For example,
+.Bd -literal
+ struct ppb_microseq select_microseq[] = {
+
+ /* parameter list
+ */
+ #define SELECT_TARGET MS_PARAM(0, 1, MS_TYP_INT)
+ #define SELECT_INITIATOR MS_PARAM(3, 1, MS_TYP_INT)
+
+ /* send the select command to the drive */
+ MS_DASS(MS_UNKNOWN),
+ MS_CASS(H_nAUTO | H_nSELIN | H_INIT | H_STROBE),
+ MS_CASS( H_AUTO | H_nSELIN | H_INIT | H_STROBE),
+ MS_DASS(MS_UNKNOWN),
+ MS_CASS( H_AUTO | H_nSELIN | H_nINIT | H_STROBE),
+
+ /* now, wait until the drive is ready */
+ MS_SET(VP0_SELTMO),
+/* loop: */ MS_BRSET(H_ACK, 3 /* ready */),
+ MS_DBRA(-1 /* loop */),
+/* error: */ MS_RET(1),
+/* ready: */ MS_RET(0)
+ };
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Here, some parameters are undefined and must be filled before executing
+the microsequence. In order to initialize seach a microsequence, one should
+use the ppb_MS_init_msq() function like this:
+.Bd -literal
+ ppb_MS_init_msq(select_microseq, 2,
+ SELECT_TARGET, 1 << target,
+ SELECT_INITIATOR, 1 << initiator);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+and then execute the microsequence.
+.Ss The microsequencer
+The microsequencer is executed either at ppbus or adapter level (see
+.Xr ppbus 4
+for info about ppbus system layers).
