Ciprico Rimfire 3880 manual Status Port Error Codes

Chapter 2 Hardware Essentials

Status Port Page 2 - 13

Note

Whenever the board is reset, the host operations should wait a minimum of five seconds before testing the RDY bit. If, after the delay, the RDY bit is not set to one, the value in the Self-test Code field of the Status Port will indicate the failing test. The RF3880 will not accept commands if this occurs.

Status Port

Error Codes

The Status Port fields during power-up or reset, have these meanings:

STC Self-test Code - This bit works in conjunction with bits 2 through 7, to indicate the self-test currently executing.

RDY Ready - This bit indicates when the adapter is ready to accept commands after a reset has completed.

0 ⇒ No command can be accepted.

1 ⇒ Ready to accept a command.

Self-test Code - The values of these bits change as self-test progresses. As self-test begins and progresses, the values are updated to the code of the test currently executing.

See below for a table of Self-test Codes.

If one of the self-tests does not properly complete, its test number will be left in the Self-test Code byte. The following table describes the test numbers:

CodeDescription

00H or FDH The onboard processor is not working; it cannot access firmware EPROM; cannot
	access the Status Port.
04H	Static RAM error. All words of static RAM are written with FFFFH, then zero.
	This test is not exhaustive.
0CH	Firmware CRC error. The calculated CRC for odd and even EPROMs does not
	match the value stored in EPROM.
80H	SCSI PSI Address/Counter registers not masked to WORD boundaries.
84H	SCSI PSI Address/Counter registers no masked to DWORD boundaries.
88H	Value Miscompare errors of SCSI PSI R/W registers in Manual Load mode.
8CH	Value Miscompare errors of SCSI PSI R/W registers in Auto Load mode.
90H	VME PSI Address/Counter registers not masked to WORD boundaries.
94H	VME PSI Address/Counter registers not masked to DWORD boundaries.
98H	Value Miscompare errors of VME PSI R/W registers in Manual Load mode.
9CH	Value Miscompare errors of VME PSI R/W registers in Auto Load mode.
A8H	SCSI termination power fuse is blown, but termination power is still present at the
	SCSI connector.
ACH	SCSI termination power fuse is blown and termination power is not available at
	the SCSI connector.
B0H	Value Miscompare error of QLogic Fast SCSI chips R/W registers.
B4H	QLogic Fast SCSI chip did not generate a reset interrupt.
B8H	QLogic Fast SCSI chip registers not zeroed after reset.
BCH	SCSI bus hung, waiting for reset from QLogic Fast SCSI chip. Could be cabling.
D0H	Video RAM buffer error.
E5H	The onboard processor failed the accumulator test.
E8H	The onboard processor failed the store instruction test.
E9H	The onboard processor failed the shift instruction test.
ECH	The onboard processor failed the compare instruction test.
EDH	The onboard processor failed the jump instruction test.
