18 | Driver Special Features | ||
19 | |||
20 | |||
21 | This device driver handles Sony CDU31A/CDU33A CDROM drives and | ||
22 | provides a complete block-level interface as well as an ioctl() | ||
23 | interface as specified in include/linux/cdrom.h). With this | ||
24 | interface, CDROMs can be accessed, standard audio CDs can be played | ||
25 | back normally, and CD audio information can be read off the drive. | ||
26 | |||
27 | Note that this will only work for CDU31A/CDU33A drives. Some vendors | ||
28 | market their drives as CDU31A compatible. They lie. Their drives are | ||
29 | really CDU31A hardware interface compatible (they can plug into the | ||
30 | same card). They are not software compatible. | ||
31 | |||
32 | Setting Up the Hardware | ||
33 | ----------------------- | ||
34 | |||
35 | The CDU31A driver is unable to safely tell if an interface card is | ||
36 | present that it can use because the interface card does not announce | ||
37 | its presence in any way besides placing 4 I/O locations in memory. It | ||
38 | used to just probe memory and attempt commands, but Linus wisely asked | ||
39 | me to remove that because it could really screw up other hardware in | ||
40 | the system. | ||
41 | |||
42 | Because of this, you must tell the kernel where the drive interface | ||
43 | is, what interrupts are used, and possibly if you are on a PAS-16 | ||
44 | soundcard. | ||
45 | |||
46 | If you have the Sony CDU31A/CDU33A drive interface card, the following | ||
47 | diagram will help you set it up. If you have another card, you are on | ||
48 | your own. You need to make sure that the I/O address and interrupt is | ||
49 | not used by another card in the system. You will need to know the I/O | ||
50 | address and interrupt you have set. Note that use of interrupts is | ||
51 | highly recommended, if possible, it really cuts down on CPU used. | ||
52 | Unfortunately, most soundcards do not support interrupts for their | ||
53 | CDROM interfaces. By default, the Sony interface card comes with | ||
54 | interrupts disabled. | ||

73 | JP1 sets the Base Address, using the following settings: | ||
74 | |||
75 | Address Pin 1 Pin 2 | ||
76 | ------- ----- ----- | ||
77 | 0x320 Short Short | ||
78 | 0x330 Short Open | ||
79 | 0x340 Open Short | ||
80 | 0x360 Open Open | ||
81 | |||
82 | JP2 and JP3 configure the DMA channel; they must be set the same. | ||
83 | |||
84 | DMA Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 | ||
85 | --- ----- ----- ----- | ||
86 | 1 On Off On | ||
87 | 2 Off On Off | ||

93 | --- ----- ----- ----- ----- | ||
94 | 3 Off Off On Off | ||
95 | 4 Off Off* Off On | ||
96 | 5 On Off Off Off | ||
97 | 6 Off On Off Off | ||
98 | |||
99 | The documentation states to set this for interrupt | ||
100 | 4, but I think that is a mistake. | ||
101 | |||
102 | Note that if you have another interface card, you will need to look at | ||
103 | the documentation to find the I/O base address. This is specified to | ||
104 | the SLCD.SYS driver for DOS with the /B: parameter, so you can look at | ||
105 | you DOS driver setup to find the address, if necessary. | ||
106 | |||
107 | Configuring the Kernel | ||
108 | ---------------------- | ||
109 | |||
110 | You must tell the kernel where the drive is at boot time. This can be | ||
111 | done at the Linux boot prompt, by using LILO, or by using Bootlin. | ||
112 | Note that this is no substitute for HOWTOs and LILO documentation, if | ||
113 | you are confused please read those for info on bootline configuration | ||
114 | and LILO. | ||
115 | |||
116 | At the linux boot prompt, press the ALT key and add the following line | ||
117 | after the boot name (you can let the kernel boot, it will tell you the | ||
118 | default boot name while booting): | ||
119 | |||
120 | cdu31a=<base address>,<interrupt>[,PAS] | ||
121 | |||
122 | The base address needs to have "0x" in front of it, since it is in | ||
123 | hex. For instance, to configure a drive at address 320 on interrupt 5, | ||
124 | use the following: | ||
125 | |||
126 | cdu31a=0x320,5 | ||
127 | |||
128 | I use the following boot line: | ||
129 | |||
130 | cdu31a=0x1f88,0,PAS | ||
131 | |||
132 | because I have a PAS-16 which does not support interrupt for the | ||
133 | CDU31A interface. | ||
134 | |||
135 | Adding this as an append line at the beginning of the /etc/lilo.conf | ||
136 | file will set it for lilo configurations. I have the following as the | ||
137 | first line in my lilo.conf file: | ||
138 | |||
139 | append="cdu31a=0x1f88,0" | ||
140 | |||
141 | I'm not sure how to set up Bootlin (I have never used it), if someone | ||
142 | would like to fill in this section please do. | ||
143 | |||
144 | |||
145 | Configuring as a Module | ||
146 | ----------------------- | ||
147 | |||
148 | The driver supports loading as a module. However, you must specify | ||
149 | the boot address and interrupt on the boot line to insmod. You can't | ||
150 | use modprobe to load it, since modprobe doesn't support setting | ||
151 | variables. | ||
152 | |||
153 | Anyway, I use the following line to load my driver as a module | ||
154 | |||
155 | /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/cdu31a.o cdu31a_port=0x1f88 | ||
156 | |||
157 | You can set the following variables in the driver: | ||
158 | |||
159 | cdu31a_port=<I/O address> - sets the base I/O. If hex, put 0x in | ||
160 | front of it. This must be specified. | ||
161 | |||
162 | cdu31a_irq=<interrupt> - Sets the interrupt number. Leaving this | ||
163 | off will turn interrupts off. | ||
164 | |||
165 | |||
166 | Driver Special Features | ||
167 | ----------------------- | ||
168 | |||
169 | This section describes features beyond the normal audio and CD-ROM | ||
170 | functions of the drive. | ||
171 | |||
172 | 2048 byte buffer mode | ||
173 | |||
174 | If a disk is mounted with -o block=2048, data is copied straight from | ||
175 | the drive data port to the buffer. Otherwise, the readahead buffer | ||
176 | must be involved to hold the other 1K of data when a 1K block | ||
177 | operation is done. Note that with 2048 byte blocks you cannot execute | ||
178 | files from the CD. | ||
179 | |||
180 | XA compatibility | ||
181 | |||
182 | The driver should support XA disks for both the CDU31A and CDU33A. It | ||
183 | does this transparently, the using program doesn't need to set it. | ||
184 | |||
185 | Multi-Session | ||
186 | |||
187 | A multi-session disk looks just like a normal disk to the user. Just | ||
188 | mount one normally, and all the data should be there. A special | ||
189 | thanks to Koen for help with this! | ||
190 | |||
191 | Raw sector I/O | ||
192 | |||
193 | Using the CDROMREADAUDIO it is possible to read raw audio and data | ||
194 | tracks. Both operations return 2352 bytes per sector. On the data | ||
195 | tracks, the first 12 bytes is not returned by the drive and the value | ||
196 | of that data is indeterminate. | ||
