  • RS/6000 ODM (Predefined Attributes)

    From Louis Ohland@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 4 06:04:54 2023
    Last night I beat my head against the wall and foundt that the ODM has
    what we need to findt out the items and values used by an RS/6000 MCA
    adapter.

    We use the Predefined Attributes because AIX knows about them. Duh-huh....

    A little more bit bashing...

    Install the adapter and driver first, then do

    odmget PdAt

    to see the PdAt of ALL installed adapters.
    Can be filtered with

    odmget -q "uniquetype = adapter/mca/NAME" PdAt

    if NAME is known.
    Not sure if the adapter needs to be present for this, or just the driver installed... May test tonite.

    However, what I have not seen there are the actual bit positions for the POS registers - only the selection options.

    I would say (and may be wrong here) that it is up to the kernel mode driver to translate the made selection from the ODM items (e.g. if interrupt 3, 5 or 7) into POS register bits.

    Some weiro who just looked into the AIX 4.1.3 source code found exactly that translation being part of the DRIVER when it's about the Corvette (bos/diag/tu/corv/corvette.c). No source code available for the 4-4.
    Hope I will never see that guy again...

    These are the ODM entries of the 8D77 adapter (4-4).
    I see the possible resource assignment values, but not how they are represented in the POS registers.

    Yes, definitely a psycho-social deviant.
