In + particular, information on system quirks is more than welcome. + + + Overview + + This document tries to provide a starting point for those + who want to run &os; on an Alpha-based machine. It is + aimed at providing background information on the various hardware + designs. It is not a replacement for the systems manuals. + + The information is structured as follows: + + + general hardware requirements to run &os; on alpha; + + + system specific information for each of the + systems/boards supported by &os;; + + + information on expansion boards for &os;, + including things that differ from what is in the generic + supported hardware list. + + + + + You will see references to DEC, Digital Equipment Corporation and + Compaq used more or less interchangeably. Now that Compaq has acquired + Digital Equipment it would be more correct to refer to Compaq only. + Given the fact that you will see the mix of names everywhere, I don't + bother. + + + + SRM commands will be in UPPER CASE. + Lower case input is also acceptable to SRM. Upper case is used for + clarity. + + + + Compaq has put information on the Web for Linux developers + that is also very useful for &os; users. Please check at + Linux Alpha + Power tools. + + + + + + In general, what do you need to run &os; on an Alpha? + + Obviously you will need an Alpha machine that &os; + knows about. Alpha machines are NOT like PCs. There are + considerable differences between the various core logic chip sets and + mainboard designs. This means that a kernel needs to know the + intimate details of a particular machine before it can run on + it. Throwing some odd GENERIC kernel at + unknown hardware is almost guaranteed to fail miserably. + + For a machine even to be considered for &os; use please + make sure it has the SRM console firmware installed. Or at least + make sure that SRM console firmware is available for the + particular machine type. If &os; does not currently support + your machine type, there is a good chance that this will change at + some point in time, assuming SRM is available. All bets are off when + SRM console firmware is not available. + + Machines with the ARC or AlphaBIOS console firmware were + intended for WindowsNT. Some have SRM console firmware available + in the system ROMs which you only have to select (via an ARC or + AlphaBIOS menu). In other cases you will have to re-flash the ROMs + with SRM code. Check on + http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware to see what is + available for your particular system. In any case: no SRM means + no + &os; (or NetBSD, OpenBSD, Tru64 Unix or OpenVMS for that + matter). With the demise of WindowsNT/alpha a lot of former NT + boxes are sold on the second hand market. They have little or no + trade-in value when they are NT-only from the console firmware + perspective. So, be suspicious if the price appears too good. + + Known non-SRM machines are: + + + Digital XL series + + + Digital XLT series + + + Samsung PC164UX (Ruffian) + + + Samsung 164B + + + + Machines that have SRM but are not supported by &os; are: + + + DECpc 150 (Jensen) + + + DEC 2000/300 (Jensen) + + + DEC 2000/500 (Culzean) + + + AXPvme series (Medulla) + + + + To complicate things a bit further: Digital used to have so + called white-box Alpha machines destined as NT-only + and blue-box Alpha machines destined for OpenVMS + and Digital Unix. These names are based on the color of the + cabinets, FrostWhite and TopGunBlue + respectively. Although you could put the SRM console firmware on a + whitebox, OpenVMS and Digital Unix will refuse to boot on + them. &os; in post-4.0-RELEASE will run on both the white and the + blue-box variants. Before someone asks: the white ones had a + rather different (read: cheaper) Digital price tag. + + As part of the SRM you will get the so called OSF/1 PAL code + (OSF/1 being the initial name of Digital's UNIX offering on + Alpha). The PAL code can be thought of as a software abstraction + layer between the hardware and the operating system. It uses + normal CPU instruction plus a handful of privileged instructions + specific for PAL use. PAL is not microcode. The ARC console + firmware contains a different PAL code, geared towards WinNT and + in no way suitable for use by &os; (or more generic: Unix or + OpenVMS). Before someone asks: Linux/alpha brings its own PAL + code, allowing it to boot on ARC and AlphaBIOS. There are various + reasons why this is not a very good idea in the eyes of the *BSD + folks. I don't want to go into details here. If you are interested + in the gory details search the &os; and NetBSD web sites. + + There is another pitfall ahead: you will need a disk adapter + that the SRM console firmware recognizes in order to be able to boot from + a disk. What is acceptable to SRM as a boot adapter is + unfortunately highly system and SRM version dependent. For older PCI + based machines it means you will need either a NCR/Symbios + 53C810 based adapter, or a Qlogic 1020/1040 based adapter. Some + machines come with a SCSI chip embedded on the mainboard. Newer + machine designs and SRM versions will be able to work with more modern + SCSI chips/adapters. Check out the machine specific info + below. Please note that the rest of this discussion only refers to + Symbios chips, this is meant to include the older chips that still + have NCR stamped on them. Symbios bought NCR sometime. + + The problem might bite those who have machines that started + their lives as WindowsNT boxes. The ARC or AlphaBIOS knows about + other adapter types that it can boot from + than the SRM. For example you can boot from an Adaptec 2940UW with + ARC/AlphaBios but (generally) not with SRM. Some newer machine types have + introduced Adaptec boot support. Please consult the machine + specific section for details. + + Most adapters that cannot be booted from work fine for + data-only disks. The differences between SRM and ARC could also + get you pre-packaged IDE CDROMs and hard drives in some (former + WindowsNT) systems. SRM versions exist (depends on the machine type) + that can boot from IDE disks and CDROMs. Check the machine + specific section for details. + + &os; 4.0 and later can be booted from the + distribution CDROM. Earlier versions needed booting from a + 2 disk floppy set. + + In order to be bootable the root partition (partition a) + must be at offset 0 of the disk drive. This means you have to + use the installer's partitioning menu and start with assigning + partition a at offset 0 to the root partition. Subsequently layout + the rest of the partitions to your liking. If you do not adhere + to this rule the install will proceed just fine, but the system + will not be bootable from the freshly installed disk. + + If you don't have/want a local disk drive you can boot via + the Ethernet. This assumes an Ethernet adapter/chip that is + recognized by the SRM console. Generally speaking this boils down to + either a 21040 or 21142 or 21143 based Ethernet interface. Older + machines or SRM versions may not recognize the 21142 / 21143 Fast + Ethernet chips, you are then limited to using 10Mbit Ethernet for net + booting those machines. Non-DEC cards based on said chips will + generally (but are not guaranteed to) work. Note that Intel took + over the 21x4x chips when it bought Digital Semiconductor. So you + might see an Intel logo on them these days. Recent machine designs + have SRM support for Intel 8255x Ethernet chips. + + Alpha machines can be run with SRM on a graphics console or + on a serial console. ARC can also be run on a serial consoles if need + be. VT100 emulation with 8 bit controls should at least allow you + to switch from ARC/AlphaBIOS to SRM mode without having to install a + graphics card first. + + If you want to run your Alpha machine without a monitor/graphics + card just don't connect a keyboard/mouse to the machine. Instead + hook up a serial terminal[emulator] to serial port #1. The SRM + will talk 9600N81 to you. This can also be really practical for + debugging purposes. Beware: some/most (?) SRMs will also present + you with a console prompt at serial port #2. The booting kernel, + however, will display the boot messages on serial port #1 and will + also put the console there. This can be extremely + confusing. + + Most PCI based Alphas can use ordinary PC-type VGA + cards. The SRM contains enough smarts to make that work. It does + not, however, mean that each and every PCI VGA card out on the + street will work in an Alpha machine. Things like S3 Trio64, + Mach64, and Matrox Millennium generally work. Old ET4000 based ISA + cards have also worked for me. But ask around first before buying. + + Most PCI devices from the PC-world will also work in + &os; PCI-based machines. Check the + /sys/alpha/conf/GENERIC file for the latest word + on this. Check the appropriate machine type's + discussion in case you want to use PCI cards that have PCI bridge + chips on them. In some cases you might encounter problems with + PCI cards not handling PCI parity correctly. This can lead to + panics. PCI parity checking can be disabled using the following + SRM command: + + >>> SET PCI_PARITY OFF + + This is not a &os; problem, all operating systems running on + Alpha hardware will need this workaround. + + If your system (also) contains EISA expansion slots you will + need to run the EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) after you have + installed EISA cards or after you have upgraded your + console firmware. + + For Alpha CPUs you will find multiple generations. The + original Alpha design is the 21064. It was produced in a chip + process called MOS4, chips made in this process are nicknamed + EV4. Newer CPUs are 21164, 21264 etc. You will see designations + like EV4S, EV45, EV5, EV56, EV6, EV67, EV68. The EVs with double digit + numbers are slightly improved versions. For example EV45 has an + improved FPU and 16 kByte on-chip separate I & D caches compared + to the EV4 on which it is based. Rule of thumb: the higher the + digit immediately following EV the more desirable + (read: faster / more modern). + + For memory you want at least 32 Mbytes. I have had + &os; run on a 16 Mbyte system but you will not enjoy + that. Kernel build times halved when I went to 32 Mbytes. Note that + the SRM console steals 2Mbyte from the total system memory (and keeps + it). For more serious work 64 Mbytes or more are recommended. + + While on the subject of memory: pay close attention to the + type of memory your machine uses. There are very different memory + configurations and requirements for the various machines. + + Final word: I expect the above to sound a bit daunting to + the first-time Alpha user. Don't be daunted too much. And do feel + free to ask questions if something is not clear after reading this + document. + + + + + System-specific information + + Below is an overview of the hardware that &os; runs on. This list + will definitely grow, a look in + /sys/alpha/conf/GENERIC can be enlightening. + + Alpha machines are often best known by their project code name. + Where known these are listed below in parentheses. + + + AXPpci33 (<quote>NoName</quote>) + + The NoName is a baby-AT mainboard based on the 21066 LCA + (Low Cost Alpha) processor. NoName was originally designed for + OEM-use. The LCA chip includes almost all of the logic to drive + a PCI bus and the memory subsystem. All of this makes for a + low-priced design. + + Due to the limited memory interface the system is not + particularly fast in case of cache misses. As long as you stay + inside the on-chip cache the CPU is comparable to a 21064 (first + generation Alpha). These boards should be very cheap to obtain + these days. It is a full-fledged 64 bit CPU, just don't expect + miracles as far as speed goes. + + Features: + + + 21066 Alpha CPU at 166 MHz or 21066A CPU at 233MHz. + 21068 CPUs are also possible, but are even slower. + + + on-board Bcache / L2 cache: 0, 256k or 1 Mbyte (uses + DIL chips) + + + PS/2 mouse & keyboard port OR 5pin DIN keyboard (2 + mainboard models) + + + memory: + + + bus width: 64 bits + + + PS/2 style 72 pin 36 bit Fast Page Mode SIMMs + + + 70ns or better + + + installed in pairs of 2 + + + 4 SIMM sockets + + + uses ECC + + + + + 512kB Flash ROM for the console code. + + + 2 16550A serial ports + + + 1 parallel port + + + floppy interface + + + 1 embedded IDE interface + + + expansion: + + + 3 32 bit PCI slots (1 shared with ISA) + + + 5 ISA slots (1 shared with PCI) + + + + + embedded Fast SCSI using a Symbios 53C810 chip + + + + NoNames can either have SRM or ARC console + firmware in their Flash ROM. The Flash ROM is not big enough to + hold both ARC and SRM at the same time and allow software + selection of alternate console code. But you only need SRM + anyway. + + Cache for the NoNames are 15 or 20 ns DIL chips. For a 256 + kByte cache you want to check your junked 486 mainboard. Chips + for a 1 Mbyte cache are a rarer breed unfortunately. Getting at + least a 256kByte cache is recommended performance + wise. Cache-less they are really slow. + + The NoName mainboard has a PC/AT-standard power + connector. It also has a power connector for 3.3 Volts. No need + to rush out to get a new power supply. The 3.3 Volts is only + needed in case you run 3.3 Volts PCI expansion boards. These are + quite rare. + + The IDE interface is supported by &os; and requires a + line in the kernel configuration file as follows: + + device ata + + The ATA interface uses irq 14. + + The SRM console unfortunately cannot boot + from IDE disks. This means you will have to use a SCSI disk as + the boot device. + + The NoName is somewhat stubborn when it comes to serial + consoles. It needs + >>> SET CONSOLE SERIAL + before it goes for a serial console. Pulling the keyboard from + the machine is not sufficient, like it is on most other Alpha models. + Going back to a graphical console needs + >>> SET CONSOLE GRAPHICS + at the serial console. + + There have been reports that you sometimes need to press + Control-Alt-Del + to capture the SRM's attention. I have + never seen this myself, but it is worth trying if you are greeted + by a blank screen after powerup. + + Make sure you use true 36 bit SIMMs, and only FPM (Fast + Page Mode) DRAM. EDO DRAM or SIMMs with fake parity will not + work. The board uses the 4 extra bits for ECC. 33 + bit FPM SIMMs will for the same reason not work. + + Given the choice, get the PS/2-variant mainboard. Apart + from giving you a mouse port as bonus it is directly supported + by Tru64 Unix in case you ever want or need to run it.

By + sacrificing the PCI slot space you can mount a 3.5" hard disk + drive. Mounting stuff may have come with your Multia. Adding a + 3.5" disk is not a recommended upgrade + due to the limited power rating of the power supply + and the extremely marginal cooling of + the system box. + + Multia also has 2 PCMCIA expansion slots. These are + currently not supported by &os;. + + The CPU might or might not be socketed, check this before + considering CPU upgrade hacks.

The Multia FAQ + explains how to build your own Y-cable to allow both ports to be + used. + + Although the Multia SRM supports booting from floppy this + can be problematic. Typically the errors look like: + + *** Soft Error - Error #10 - FDC: Data overrun or underrun + + This is not a &os; problem, it is a SRM problem. The best available + workaround to install &os; is to boot from a SCSI CDROM. + + There have been reports that you sometimes need to press + Control-Alt-Del + to capture the SRM's attention. I have + never seen this myself, but it is worth trying when you are greeted + by a blank screen after powerup. + + Sound works fine using &man.pcm.4; driver and a line in the + kernel configuration file as follows for the Crystal CS4231 + chip: + + device pcm + + The sound device lives at port 0x530, and uses irq 9 along + with drq 3. You also need to specify flags 0x15 in the device.hints file. + + I have not yet been successful in getting my Multia with + the AD1848 to play any sound. + + While verifying playback I was reminded of the lack of CPU + power of the 166MHz CPU. MP3 only plays acceptable using 22kHz + down-sampling. + + Multias are somewhat notorious for dying of heat + strokes. The very compact box does not really allow access to cooling air. + Please use the Multia on its vertical stand, + don't put it horizontally (pizza style). Replacing the + fan with something which pushes around more air is really + recommended. You can also cut one of the wires to the fan speed + sensor. Once cut, the fan runs at a (loud) full speed. + Beware of PCI cards with high power consumption. + If your system has died you might want to check the + Multia-Heat-Death pages at the + NetBSD Web site + for help in reviving it. + + The Intel 82378ZB PCI to ISA bridge enables the use of an + IDE disk. This requires a line in the kernel configuration file + as follows: + + device ata + + The ATA interface uses IRQ 14. + + The IDE connector pin spacing is thought for 2.5" laptop + disks. A 3.5" IDE disk would not fit in the case anyway. At + least not without sacrificing your only PCI slot. The SRM + console unfortunately does not know how to boot from IDE + disks. You will need to use a SCSI disk as the boot disk. + + In case you want to change the internal hard drive: the + internal flat cable running from the PCI riser board to the + 2.5" + hard drive has a finer pitch than the standard SCSI flat + cables. Otherwise it would not fit on the 2.5" drives. There are + also riser cards that have a standard-pitch SCSI cable attached + to it, which will fit an ordinary SCSI disk. + + Again, I recommend against trying to cram a replacement + hard disk inside. Use the external SCSI connector and put your + disk in an external enclosure. Multias run hot enough as-is. In + most cases you will have the external high density 50-pin SCSI + connector but some Multia models came without disk and may lack + the connector.

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. + GENERIC + contains things that are known to work on Alpha only. + + The PCI and ISA expansion busses are fully supported. Turbo + Channel is not in GENERIC 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + The Qlogic QL2x00 FibreChannel host adapters are fully + supported. + + 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). + + DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI network adapters are supported on alpha. + + 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. + + 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. + + The PC standard serial ports found on most + Alphas are supported. + + ISDN (i4b) is not supported on &os;/alpha. + + + + Acknowledgments + + In compiling this file I used multiple information sources, + but the NetBSD Web + site proved to be an invaluable source of information.
