10 This driver supports all of Adaptec's Fast through Ultra 160 PCI
11 based SCSI controllers as well as the aic7770 based EISA and VLB
12 SCSI controllers (the 274x and 284x series). For AAA and ARO based
13 configurations, only SCSI functionality is provided.
14
15 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
16 module will be called aic7xxx.

18config AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE
19 int "Maximum number of TCQ commands per device"
20 depends on SCSI_AIC7XXX
21 default "32"
22 ---help---
23 Specify the number of commands you would like to allocate per SCSI
24 device when Tagged Command Queueing (TCQ) is enabled on that device.
25
26 This is an upper bound value for the number of tagged transactions
27 to be used for any device. The aic7xxx driver will automatically
28 vary this number based on device behavior. For devices with a
29 fixed maximum, the driver will eventually lock to this maximum
Matt LaPlante09509602006-10-03 22:31:37 +020030 and display a console message indicating this value.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070031
32 Due to resource allocation issues in the Linux SCSI mid-layer, using
33 a high number of commands per device may result in memory allocation
34 failures when many devices are attached to the system. For this reason,
Matt LaPlante09509602006-10-03 22:31:37 +020035 the default is set to 32. Higher values may result in higher performance
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070036 on some devices. The upper bound is 253. 0 disables tagged queueing.
37
38 Per device tag depth can be controlled via the kernel command line
39 "tag_info" option. See drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/README.aic7xxx
40 for details.

47 The number of milliseconds to delay after an initial bus reset.
48 The bus settle delay following all error recovery actions is
49 dictated by the SCSI layer and is not affected by this value.

54 bool "Probe for EISA and VL AIC7XXX Adapters"
55 depends on SCSI_AIC7XXX && EISA
56 help
57 Probe for EISA and VLB Aic7xxx controllers. In many newer systems,
58 the invasive probes necessary to detect these controllers can cause
59 other devices to fail. For this reason, the non-PCI probe code is
60 disabled by default. The current value of this option can be "toggled"
61 via the no_probe kernel command line option.

63config AIC7XXX_BUILD_FIRMWARE
64 bool "Build Adapter Firmware with Kernel Build"
65 depends on SCSI_AIC7XXX && !PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD
66 help
67 This option should only be enabled if you are modifying the firmware
68 source to the aic7xxx driver and wish to have the generated firmware
69 include files updated during a normal kernel build. The assembler
70 for the firmware requires lex and yacc or their equivalents, as well
71 as the db v1 library. You may have to install additional packages
72 or modify the assembler Makefile or the files it includes if your
73 build environment is different than that of the author.

Adrian Bunk5637a2e2006-04-01 01:03:38 +020089 CONFIG_AIC7XXX_DEBUG_ENABLE option is enabled. The bits in this mask
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070090 are defined in the drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.h - search for the
91 variable ahc_debug in that file to find them.

98 Compile in register value tables for the output of expanded register
99 contents in diagnostics. This make it much easier to understand debug
100 output without having to refer to a data book and/or the aic7xxx.reg
101 file.
