LSI Symbios SYM53C040, Technical Manual

Page: 40 / 214

2-24 Functional Description
RESET/ pin is asserted low (0) to reset external devices. The Watchdog
Reboot bit is set (0xFE00, bit 7) to indicate that the SYM53C040 has
performed a soft reset due to expiration of the watchdog timer. Not all
register values in the SYM53C040 are affected by a soft reset. The
following bits/registers require a power-on reset to return to their default
values:
•
0xFE00 , Watchdog Timer Control (WDTC)
•
0xFE02 , Watchdog Final Chain (WDFC)
•
0xFF03 , Power-On Configuration One (POC1)
•
Bit 7, Enable Reset Output, in register 0xFF05 , System Control
(SYSCTRL)
2.9 SFF-8067 Mode
The two SFF-8067 interfaces allow the SYM53C040 to communicate with
Fibre Channel SCA-2 devices. Details of the protocol are provided in the
SFF-8067 specification.
The SFF-8067 port 0 and port 1 interfaces can be controlled either
manually by the microcontroller through direct control of the interface
pins; or automatically by the SFF-8067 interface control logic, which has
the ability to interrupt the microcontroller when input data has been
received over one of the ports or when output data has been requested
at one of the ports.
The SFF-8067 interface is enabled when the DIFFSENS pin is set to
V
DD
. The SCSI pins are reassigned to SFF-8067 pins, as indicated in
Chapter 3 .
A simple ping-pong arbitration scheme provides equal priority access
between the two ports, since only one of them can be active at a time.
A drive requests access to the SYM53C040 by asserting the PARALLEL
ESI/ pin on its respective port. If the other port is not being used, the
Discovery and Data Transfer phases can proceed as described in the
SFF-8067 specification. A request for access of the other port will not be
acknowledged until the PARALLEL ESI/ pin is deasserted on the port
that is currently in use.
