With this -interface, CDROMs can be accessed, standard audio CDs can be played -back normally, and CD audio information can be read off the drive. - -Note that this will only work for CDU31A/CDU33A drives. Some vendors -market their drives as CDU31A compatible. They lie. Their drives are -really CDU31A hardware interface compatible (they can plug into the -same card). They are not software compatible. - -Setting Up the Hardware ------------------------ - -The CDU31A driver is unable to safely tell if an interface card is -present that it can use because the interface card does not announce -its presence in any way besides placing 4 I/O locations in memory. It -used to just probe memory and attempt commands, but Linus wisely asked -me to remove that because it could really screw up other hardware in -the system. - -Because of this, you must tell the kernel where the drive interface -is, what interrupts are used, and possibly if you are on a PAS-16 -soundcard. - -If you have the Sony CDU31A/CDU33A drive interface card, the following -diagram will help you set it up. If you have another card, you are on -your own. You need to make sure that the I/O address and interrupt is -not used by another card in the system. You will need to know the I/O -address and interrupt you have set. Note that use of interrupts is -highly recommended, if possible, it really cuts down on CPU used. -Unfortunately, most soundcards do not support interrupts for their -CDROM interfaces. By default, the Sony interface card comes with -interrupts disabled. - - +----------+-----------------+----------------------+ - | JP1 | 34 Pin Conn | | - | JP2 +-----------------+ | - | JP3 | - | JP4 | - | +--+ - | | +-+ - | | | | External - | | | | Connector - | | | | - | | +-+ - | +--+ - | | - | +--------+ - | | - +------------------------------------------+ - - JP1 sets the Base Address, using the following settings: - - Address Pin 1 Pin 2 - ------- ----- ----- - 0x320 Short Short - 0x330 Short Open - 0x340 Open Short - 0x360 Open Open - - JP2 and JP3 configure the DMA channel; they must be set the same. - - DMA Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 - --- ----- ----- ----- - 1 On Off On - 2 Off On Off - 3 Off Off On - - JP4 Configures the IRQ: - - IRQ Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4 - --- ----- ----- ----- ----- - 3 Off Off On Off - 4 Off Off* Off On - 5 On Off Off Off - 6 Off On Off Off - - The documentation states to set this for interrupt - 4, but I think that is a mistake. - -Note that if you have another interface card, you will need to look at -the documentation to find the I/O base address. This is specified to -the SLCD.SYS driver for DOS with the /B: parameter, so you can look at -you DOS driver setup to find the address, if necessary. - -Configuring the Kernel ----------------------- - -You must tell the kernel where the drive is at boot time. This can be -done at the Linux boot prompt, by using LILO, or by using Bootlin. -Note that this is no substitute for HOWTOs and LILO documentation, if -you are confused please read those for info on bootline configuration -and LILO. - -At the linux boot prompt, press the ALT key and add the following line -after the boot name (you can let the kernel boot, it will tell you the -default boot name while booting): - - cdu31a=<base address>,<interrupt>[,PAS] - -The base address needs to have "0x" in front of it, since it is in -hex. For instance, to configure a drive at address 320 on interrupt 5, -use the following: - - cdu31a=0x320,5 - -I use the following boot line: - - cdu31a=0x1f88,0,PAS - -because I have a PAS-16 which does not support interrupt for the -CDU31A interface. - -Adding this as an append line at the beginning of the /etc/lilo.conf -file will set it for lilo configurations. I have the following as the -first line in my lilo.conf file: - - append="cdu31a=0x1f88,0" - -I'm not sure how to set up Bootlin (I have never used it), if someone -would like to fill in this section please do. - - -Configuring as a Module ------------------------ - -The driver supports loading as a module. However, you must specify -the boot address and interrupt on the boot line to insmod. You can't -use modprobe to load it, since modprobe doesn't support setting -variables. - -Anyway, I use the following line to load my driver as a module - - /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/cdu31a.o cdu31a_port=0x1f88 - -You can set the following variables in the driver: - - cdu31a_port=<I/O address> - sets the base I/O. If hex, put 0x in - front of it. This must be specified. - - cdu31a_irq=<interrupt> - Sets the interrupt number. Leaving this - off will turn interrupts off. - - -Driver Special Features ------------------------ - -This section describes features beyond the normal audio and CD-ROM -functions of the drive. - -2048 byte buffer mode - -If a disk is mounted with -o block=2048, data is copied straight from -the drive data port to the buffer. Otherwise, the readahead buffer -must be involved to hold the other 1K of data when a 1K block -operation is done. Note that with 2048 byte blocks you cannot execute -files from the CD. - -XA compatibility - -The driver should support XA disks for both the CDU31A and CDU33A. It -does this transparently, the using program doesn't need to set it. - -Multi-Session - -A multi-session disk looks just like a normal disk to the user. Just -mount one normally, and all the data should be there. A special -thanks to Koen for help with this! - -Raw sector I/O - -Using the CDROMREADAUDIO it is possible to read raw audio and data -tracks. Both operations return 2352 bytes per sector. On the data -tracks, the first 12 bytes is not returned by the drive and the value -of that data is indeterminate. |
