Hardware structure, jumper and terminal definitions

Onboard hardware layout

-JP jumper array: 12 sets of port power level configuration jumpers (JA1/JB1/JC1… JA4/JB4/JC4)

-SW1: Reserved card number dialing (manual not yet enabled)

-CN1:100 pin SCSI-II main IO interface (unique external signal interface)

JP jumper function (port power on status)

Each group of ports corresponds to independent jumpers, with three configurations:

1. Short circuit 1-2: Pull low when powered on (factory default)

2. Short circuit 2-3: Power on and pull high

3. Remove jumper: port floating

Covering all 12 ports A/B/C from P1 to P4.

CN1 100 pin SCSI connector key signal

1. IO signal: P1A0~P4C7, 96 TTL DI/DO channels, divided into three groups of 8-bit A/B/C per PPI

2. Dedicated function pins

-Pin51 EVENT: Counter 0 external pulse input

-Pin99 EXTTRG: External data latch trigger signal

-25/50/75/100: Global signal ground GND

Selection of matching terminal board

1. DIN-100S: Direct connection adapter board, no photoelectric isolation, low-cost universal scenario

2. DIN-96DI: 96 input high-voltage optical isolation terminal board, eliminating ground loop interference

3. DIN-96DO (discontinued EOL): isolated output terminal board

Hardware installation process

1. Anti static operation: Wear an anti-static wristband, touch the chassis to release static electricity, and only hold the edge of the board

2. Jumper pre configuration: Set the power level JP jumper for each port according to device requirements

3. Turn off the power and insert it into any PCIe x1/x4/x8/x16 slot, fix it with screws

4. Connect the 100 core SCSI cable to the matching terminal board

5. Upon startup, the BIOS automatically assigns interrupts and IO base addresses without the need for manual address/IRQ settings

Bottom level register mapping (underlying development core)

The manual fully lists all 32-bit registers offset by base address BASE, core grouping:

1. PPI data register (BASE+00/10/20/30): reads and writes 24 bit (A/B/C three port) IO data of one PPI, supports output read back

2. PPI control register (BASE+04/14/24/3): Configure A/B/C port input (0)/output (1)

3. External trigger enable/disable register: controls the EXTTRG latch function switch

4. COS interrupt control register: individually enable/disable level jump detection for each group of ports

5. ISC Interrupt Source Control Register (BASE+50): Configure the interrupt trigger source for INT1 and INT2

6. Interrupt clearing register: software clears interrupt flag bit

7. 8254 Timer/Counter Register (BASE40~4C): 3-channel counting channel mode configuration

Hardware working principle

Digital IO and External Trigger Mechanism

-The port can independently input and output; When the external EXTTRG edge arrives, it instantly locks all the current DI states and stores them in the register to avoid software polling loss; The software can configure the triggering edge height to be effective.

8254 timed counting system

-Counter0: External EVENT pulse input, 16 bit countdown, zeroing generates event interrupt

-Timer1+Timer2 cascaded as a 32-bit system timer, onboard 2MHz internal clock, timed overflow output timed interrupt

-All counters support 6 standard 8254 operating modes.

Dual Interrupt System (INT1/INT2)

The board only occupies a single PCIe IRQ in the system, but internally distinguishes between two independent interrupt sources, which are triggered by ISC registers

INT1 optional source

1. P1/P4 all channel COS level change interrupt (default)

2. P1C0/P1C3 pin edge trigger

3. P1C0 falling edge interruption

4. Counter0 count completion event interrupt

INT2 optional source

1. Interruption of COS level changes in all channels of P3/P4 (default)

2. P2C0/P2C3 pin edge trigger

3. P2C0 falling edge interruption

4. 32-bit system timer overflow interrupt

COS level change interrupt

96 inputs, any one of which experiences a high or low voltage jump, and the hardware automatically generates an interrupt request; After the execution of the interrupt service program is completed, write to clear the register and reset the interrupt flag.
