Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

|
ISA-AT-bus card).
|
|
IT WILL DEFINITELY NOT WORK WITH CD-ROM DRIVES WITH *IDE*-INTERFACE,
|
|
such as the Aztech CDA269-031SE !!! (The only known exceptions are
|
|
'faked' IDE drives like the CyCDROM CR520ie which work with aztcd
|
|
under certain conditions, see 7.). IF YOU'RE USING A CD-ROM DRIVE
|
|
WITH IDE-INTERFACE, SOMETIMES ALSO CALLED ATAPI-COMPATIBLE, PLEASE
|
|
USE THE ide-cd.c DRIVER, WRITTEN BY MARK LORD AND SCOTT SNYDER !
|
|
THE STANDARD-KERNEL 1.2.x NOW ALSO SUPPORTS IDE-CDROM-DRIVES, SEE THE

1. NOTE
|
|
This software has been successfully in alpha and beta test and is part of
|
|
the standard kernel since kernel 1.1.8x since December 1994. It works with
|
|
AZTECH CDA268-01A, ORCHID CDS-3110, ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110 and CONRAD TXC
|
|
(Nr.99 31 23 -series 04) and has proven to be stable with kernel
|
|
versions 1.0.9 and newer. But with any software there still may be bugs in it.
|
|
So if you encounter problems, you are invited to help us improve this software.
|
|
Please send me a detailed bug report (see chapter BUG REPORTS). You are also
|
|
invited in helping us to increase the number of drives, which are supported.
|
|
|
|
Please read the README-files carefully and always keep a backup copy of your
|
|
old kernel, in order to reboot if something goes wrong!
|
|
|
|
2. INSTALLATION
|
|
The driver consists of a header file 'aztcd.h', which normally should reside
|
|
in /usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom and the source code 'aztcd.c', which normally
|
|
resides in the same place. It uses /dev/aztcd (/dev/aztcd0 in some distri-
|
|
butions), which must be a valid block device with major number 29 and reside
|
|
in directory /dev. To mount a CD-ROM, your kernel needs to have the ISO9660-
|
|
filesystem support included.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE NOTE: aztcd.c has been developed in parallel to the linux kernel,
|
|
which had and is having many major and minor changes which are not backward
|
|
compatible. Quite definitely aztcd.c version 1.80 and newer will NOT work
|
|
in kernels older than 1.3.33. So please always use the most recent version
|
|
of aztcd.c with the appropriate linux-kernel.
|
|
|
|
3. CONFIGURING YOUR KERNEL
|
|
If your kernel is already configured for using the AZTECH driver you will
|
|
see the following message while Linux boots:
|
|
Aztech CD-ROM Init: DriverVersion=<version number> BaseAddress=<baseaddress>
|
|
Aztech CD-ROM Init: FirmwareVersion=<firmware version id of your I/O-card>>>
|
|
Aztech CD-ROM Init: <drive type> detected
|
|
Aztech CD-ROM Init: End
|
|
If the message looks different and you are sure to have a supported drive,
|
|
it may have a different base address. The Aztech driver does look for the
|
|
CD-ROM drive at the base address specified in aztcd.h at compile time. This
|
|
address can be overwritten by boot parameter aztcd=....You should reboot and
|
|
start Linux with boot parameter aztcd=<base address>, e.g. aztcd=0x320. If
|
|
you do not know the base address, start your PC with DOS and look at the boot
|
|
message of your CD-ROM's DOS driver. If that still does not help, use boot
|
|
parameter aztcd=<base address>,0x79 , this tells aztcd to try a little harder.
|
|
aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by recompiling
|
|
it (see chapter 4.).
|
|
|
|
If the message looks correct, as user 'root' you should be able to mount the
|
|
drive by
|
|
mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/aztcd0 /mnt
|
|
and use it as any other filesystem. (If this does not work, check if
|
|
/dev/aztcd0 and /mnt do exist and create them, if necessary by doing
|
|
mknod /dev/aztcd0 b 29 0
|
|
mkdir /mnt
|
|
|
|
If you still get a different message while Linux boots or when you get the
|
|
message, that the ISO9660-filesystem is not supported by your kernel, when
|
|
you try to mount the CD-ROM drive, you have to recompile your kernel.
|
|
|
|
If you do *not* have an Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes/TXC drive and want to
|
|
bypass drive detection during Linux boot up, start with boot parameter aztcd=0.
|
|
|
|
Most distributions nowadays do contain a boot disk image containing aztcd.
|
|
Please note, that this driver will not work with IDE/ATAPI drives! With these
|
|
you must use ide-cd.c instead.
|
|
|
|
4. RECOMPILING YOUR KERNEL
|
|
If your kernel is not yet configured for the AZTECH driver and the ISO9660-
|
|
filesystem, you have to recompile your kernel:
|
|
|
|
- Edit aztcd.h to set the I/O-address to your I/O-Base address (AZT_BASE_ADDR),
|
|
the driver does not use interrupts or DMA, so if you are using an AZTECH
|
|
CD268, an ORCHID CD-3110 or ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110 that's the only item you
|
|
have to set up. If you have a soundcard, read chapter 4.2.
|
|
Users of other drives should read chapter OTHER DRIVES of this file.
|
|
You also can configure that address by kernel boot parameter aztcd=...
|
|
- aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by setting
|
|
AZT_BASE_ADDR to '-1'. In that case aztcd probes the addresses listed
|
|
under AZT_BASE_AUTO. But please remember, that autoprobing always may
|
|
incorrectly influence other hardware components too!
|
|
- There are some other points, which may be configured, e.g. auto-eject the
|
|
CD when unmounting a drive, tray locking etc., see aztcd.h for details.
|
|
- If you're using a linux kernel version prior to 2.1.0, in aztcd.h
|
|
uncomment the line '#define AZT_KERNEL_PRIOR_2_1'
|
|
- Build a new kernel, configure it for 'Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes support'
|
|
(if you want aztcd to be part of the kernel). Do not configure it for
|
|
'Aztech... support', if you want to use aztcd as a run time loadable module.
|
|
But in any case you must have the ISO9660-filesystem included in your
|
|
kernel.
|
|
- Activate the new kernel, normally this is done by running LILO (don't for-
|
|
get to configure it before and to keep a copy of your old kernel in case
|
|
something goes wrong!).
|
|
- Reboot
|
|
- If you've included aztcd in your kernel, you now should see during boot
|
|
some messages like
|
|
Aztech CD-ROM Init: DriverVersion=<version number> BaseAddress=<baseaddress>
|
|
Aztech CD-ROM Init: FirmwareVersion=<firmware version id of your I/O-card>
|
|
Aztech CD-ROM Init: <drive type> detected
|
|
Aztech CD-ROM Init: End
|
|
- If you have not included aztcd in your kernel, but want to load aztcd as a
|
|
run time loadable module see 4.1.
|
|
- If the message looks correct, as user 'root' you should be able to mount
|
|
the drive by
|
|
mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/aztcd0 /mnt
|
|
and use it as any other filesystem. (If this does not work, check if
|
|
/dev/aztcd0 and /mnt do exist and create them, if necessary by doing
|
|
mknod /dev/aztcd0 b 29 0
|
|
mkdir /mnt
|
|
- If this still does not help, see chapters OTHER DRIVES and DEBUGGING.
|
|
|
|
4.1 AZTCD AS A RUN-TIME LOADABLE MODULE
|
|
If you do not need aztcd permanently, you can also load and remove the driver
|
|
during runtime via insmod and rmmod. To build aztcd as a loadable module you
|
|
must configure your kernel for AZTECH module support (answer 'm' when con-
|
|
figuring the kernel). Anyhow, you may run into problems, if the version of
|
|
your boot kernel is not the same than the source kernel version, from which
|
|
you create the modules. So rebuild your kernel, if necessary.
|
|
|
|
Now edit the base address of your AZTECH interface card in
|
|
/usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom/aztcd.h to the appropriate value.
|
|
aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by setting
|
|
AZT_BASE_ADDR to '-1'. In that case aztcd probes the addresses listed
|
|
under AZT_BASE_AUTO. But please remember, that autoprobing always may
|
|
incorrectly influence other hardware components too!
|
|
There are also some special features which may be configured, e.g.
|
|
auto-eject a CD when unmounting the drive etc; see aztcd.h for details.
|
|
Then change to /usr/src/linux and do a
|
|
make modules
|
|
make modules_install
|
|
After that you can run-time load the driver via
|
|
insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o
|
|
and remove it via rmmod aztcd.
|
|
If you did not set the correct base address in aztcd.h, you can also supply the
|
|
base address when loading the driver via
|
|
insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o aztcd=<base address>
|
|
Again specifying aztcd=-1 will cause autoprobing.
|
|
If you do not have the iso9660-filesystem in your boot kernel, you also have
|
|
to load it before you can mount the CDROM:
|
|
insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/fs/isofs.o
|
|
The mount procedure works as described in 4. above.
|
|
(In all commands 'X.X.X' is the current linux kernel version number)
|
|
|
|
4.2 CDROM CONNECTED TO A SOUNDCARD
|
|
Most soundcards do have a bus interface to the CDROM-drive. In many cases
|
|
this soundcard needs to be configured, before the CDROM can be used. This
|
|
configuration procedure consists of writing some kind of initialization
|
|
data to the soundcard registers. The AZTECH-CDROM driver in the moment does
|
|
only support one type of soundcard (SoundWave32). Users of other soundcards
|
|
should try to boot DOS first and let their DOS drivers initialize the
|
|
soundcard and CDROM, then warm boot (or use loadlin) their PC to start
|
|
Linux.
|
|
Support for the CDROM-interface of SoundWave32-soundcards is directly
|
|
implemented in the AZTECH driver. Please edit linux/drivers/cdrom/aztdc.h,
|
|
uncomment line '#define AZT_SW32' and set the appropriate value for
|
|
AZT_BASE_ADDR and AZT_SW32_BASE_ADDR. This support was tested with an Orchid
|
|
CDS-3110 connected to a SoundWave32.
|
|
If you want your soundcard to be supported, find out, how it needs to be
|
|
configured and mail me (see 6.) the appropriate information.
|
|
|
|
5. KNOWN PROBLEMS, FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
|
|
5.1 MULTISESSION SUPPORT
|
|
Multisession support for CD's still is a myth. I implemented and tested a basic
|
|
support for multisession and XA CDs, but I still have not enough CDs and appli-
|
|
cations to test it rigorously. So if you'd like to help me, please contact me
|
|
(Email address see below). As of version 1.4 and newer you can enable the
|
|
multisession support in aztcd.h by setting AZT_MULTISESSION to 1. Doing so
|
|
will cause the ISO9660-filesystem to deal with multisession CDs, ie. redirect
|
|
requests to the Table of Contents (TOC) information from the last session,
|
|
which contains the info of all previous sessions etc.. If you do set
|
|
AZT_MULTISESSION to 0, you can use multisession CDs anyway. In that case the
|
|
drive's firmware will do automatic redirection. For the ISO9660-filesystem any
|
|
multisession CD will then look like a 'normal' single session CD. But never-
|
|
theless the data of all sessions are viewable and accessible. So with practical-
|
|
ly all real world applications you won't notice the difference. But as future
|
|
applications may make use of advanced multisession features, I've started to
|
|
implement the interface for the ISO9660 multisession interface via ioctl
|
|
CDROMMULTISESSION.
|
|
|
|
5.2 STATUS RECOGNITION
|
|
The drive status recognition does not work correctly in all cases. Changing
|
|
a disk or having the door open, when a drive is already mounted, is detected
|
|
by the Aztech driver itself, but nevertheless causes multiple read attempts
|
|
by the different layers of the ISO9660-filesystem driver, which finally timeout,
|
|
so you have to wait quite a little... But isn't it bad style to change a disk
|
|
in a mounted drive, anyhow ?!
|
|
|
|
The driver uses busy wait in most cases for the drive handshake (macros
|
|
STEN_LOW and DTEN_LOW). I tested with a 486/DX2 at 66MHz and a Pentium at
|
|
60MHz and 90MHz. Whenever you use a much faster machine you are likely to get
|
|
timeout messages. In that case edit aztcd.h and increase the timeout value
|
|
AZT_TIMEOUT.
|
|
|
|
For some 'slow' drive commands I implemented waiting with a timer waitqueue
|
|
(macro STEN_LOW_WAIT). If you get this timeout message, you may also edit
|
|
aztcd.h and increase the timeout value AZT_STATUS_DELAY. The waitqueue has
|
|
shown to be a little critical. If you get kernel panic messages, edit aztcd.c
|
|
and substitute STEN_LOW_WAIT by STEN_LOW. Busy waiting with STEN_LOW is more
|
|
stable, but also causes CPU overhead.
|
|
|
|
5.3 DOSEMU's CD-ROM SUPPORT
|
|
With release 1.20 aztcd was modified to allow access to CD-ROMS when running
|
|
under dosemu-0.60.0 aztcd-versions before 1.20 are most likely to crash
|
|
Linux, when a CD-ROM is accessed under dosemu. This problem has partly been
|
|
fixed, but still when accessing a directory for the first time the system
|
|
might hang for some 30sec. So be patient, when using dosemu's CD-ROM support
|
|
in combination with aztcd :-) !
|
|
This problem has now (July 1995) been fixed by a modification to dosemu's
|
|
CD-ROM driver. The new version came with dosemu-0.60.2, see dosemu's
|
|
README.CDROM.
|
|
|
|
6. BUG REPORTS
|
|
Please send detailed bug reports and bug fixes via EMail to
|
|
|
|
Werner.Zimmermann@fht-esslingen.de
|
|
|
|
Please include a description of your CD-ROM drive type and interface card,
|
|
the exact firmware message during Linux bootup, the version number of the
|
|
AZTECH-CDROM-driver and the Linux kernel version. Also a description of your
|
|
system's other hardware could be of interest, especially microprocessor type,
|
|
clock frequency, other interface cards such as soundcards, ethernet adapter,
|
|
game cards etc..
|
|
|
|
I will try to collect the reports and make the necessary modifications from
|
|
time to time. I may also come back to you directly with some bug fixes and
|
|
ask you to do further testing and debugging.
|
|
|
|
Editors of CD-ROMs are invited to send a 'cooperation' copy of their
|
|
CD-ROMs to the volunteers, who provided the CD-ROM support for Linux. My

7. OTHER DRIVES
|
|
The following drives ORCHID CDS3110, OKANO CDD110, WEARNES CDD110 and Conrad
|
|
TXC Nr. 993123-series 04 nearly look the same as AZTECH CDA268-01A, especially
|
|
they seem to use the same command codes. So it was quite simple to make the
|
|
AZTECH driver work with these drives.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately I do not have any of these drives available, so I couldn't test
|
|
it myself. In some installations, it seems necessary to initialize the drive
|
|
with the DOS driver before (especially if combined with a sound card) and then
|
|
do a warm boot (CTRL-ALT-RESET) or start Linux from DOS, e.g. with 'loadlin'.
|
|
|
|
If you do not succeed, read chapter DEBUGGING. Thanks in advance!
|
|
|
|
Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is difficult to develop for hardware,
|
|
which you don't have available for testing. So if you like, please help us.
|
|
|
|
If you do have a CyCDROM CR520ie thanks to Hilmar Berger's help your chances
|
|
are good, that it will work with aztcd. The CR520ie is sold as an IDE-drive
|
|
and really is connected to the IDE interface (primary at 0x1F0 or secondary
|
|
at 0x170, configured as slave, not as master). Nevertheless it is not ATAPI
|
|
compatible but still uses Aztech's command codes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. DEBUGGING : IF YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY THE FOLLOWING
|
|
-reread the complete README file
|
|
-make sure, that your drive is hardware configured for
|
|
transfer mode: polled
|
|
IRQ: not used
|
|
DMA: not used
|
|
Base Address: something like 300, 320 ...
|
|
You can check this, when you start the DOS driver, which came with your
|
|
drive. By appropriately configuring the drive and the DOS driver you can
|
|
check, whether your drive does operate in this mode correctly under DOS. If
|
|
it does not operate under DOS, it won't under Linux.
|
|
If your drive's base address is something like 0x170 or 0x1F0 (and it is
|
|
not a CyCDROM CR520ie or CR 940ie) you most likely are having an IDE/ATAPI-
|
|
compatible drive, which is not supported by aztcd.c, use ide-cd.c instead.
|
|
Make sure the Base Address is configured correctly in aztcd.h, also make
|
|
sure, that /dev/aztcd0 exists with the correct major number (compare it with
|
|
the entry in file /usr/include/linux/major.h for the Aztech drive).
|
|
-insert a CD-ROM and close the tray
|
|
-cold boot your PC (i.e. via the power on switch or the reset button)
|
|
-if you start Linux via DOS, e.g. using loadlin, make sure, that the DOS
|
|
driver for the CD-ROM drive is not loaded (comment out the calling lines
|
|
in DOS' config.sys!)
|
|
-look for the aztcd: init message during Linux init and note them exactly
|
|
-log in as root and do a mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt
|
|
-if you don't succeed in the first time, try several times. Try also to open
|
|
and close the tray, then mount again. Please note carefully all commands
|
|
you typed in and the aztcd-messages, which you get.
|
|
-if you get an 'Aztech CD-ROM init: aborted' message, read the remarks about
|
|
the version string below.
|
|
|
|
If this does not help, do the same with the following differences
|
|
-start DOS before; make now sure, that the DOS driver for the CD-ROM is
|
|
loaded under DOS (i.e. uncomment it again in config.sys)
|
|
-warm boot your PC (i.e. via CTRL-ALT-DEL)
|
|
if you have it, you can also start via loadlin (try both).
|
|
...
|
|
Again note all commands and the aztcd-messages.
|
|
|
|
If you see STEN_LOW or STEN_LOW_WAIT error messages, increase the timeout
|
|
values.
|
|
|
|
If this still does not help,
|
|
-look in aztcd.c for the lines #if 0
|
|
#define AZT_TEST1
|
|
...
|
|
#endif
|
|
and substitute '#if 0' by '#if 1'.
|
|
-recompile your kernel and repeat the above two procedures. You will now get
|
|
a bundle of debugging messages from the driver. Again note your commands
|
|
and the appropriate messages. If you have syslogd running, these messages
|
|
may also be found in syslogd's kernel log file. Nevertheless in some
|
|
installations syslogd does not yet run, when init() is called, thus look for
|
|
the aztcd-messages during init, before the login-prompt appears.
|
|
Then look in aztcd.c, to find out, what happened. The normal calling sequence
|
|
is: aztcd_init() during Linux bootup procedure init()
|
|
after doing a 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt' the normal calling sequence is
|
|
aztcd_open() -> Status 2c after cold reboot with CDROM or audio CD inserted
|
|
-> Status 8 after warm reboot with CDROM inserted
|
|
-> Status 2e after cold reboot with no disk, closed tray
|
|
-> Status 6e after cold reboot, mount with door open
|
|
aztUpdateToc()
|
|
aztGetDiskInfo()
|
|
aztGetQChannelInfo() repeated several times
|
|
aztGetToc()
|
|
aztGetQChannelInfo() repeated several times
|
|
a list of track information
|
|
do_aztcd_request() }
|
|
azt_transfer() } repeated several times
|
|
azt_poll }
|
|
Check, if there is a difference in the calling sequence or the status flags!
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of other messages, eg. the ACMD-command code (defined in
|
|
aztcd.h), status info from the getAztStatus-command and the state sequence of
|
|
the finite state machine in azt_poll(). The most important are the status
|
|
messages, look how they are defined and try to understand, if they make
|
|
sense in the context where they appear. With a CD-ROM inserted the status
|
|
should always be 8, except in aztcd_open(). Try to open the tray, insert an
|
|
audio disk, insert no disk or reinsert the CD-ROM and check, if the status
|
|
bits change accordingly. The status bits are the most likely point, where
|
|
the drive manufacturers may implement changes.
|
|
|
|
If you still don't succeed, a good point to start is to look in aztcd.c in
|
|
function aztcd_init, where the drive should be detected during init. Do the
|
|
following:
|
|
-reboot the system with boot parameter 'aztcd=<your base address>,0x79'. With
|
|
parameter 0x79 most of the drive version detection is bypassed. After that
|
|
you should see the complete version string including leading and trailing
|
|
blanks during init.
|
|
Now adapt the statement
|
|
if ((result[1]=='A')&&(result[2]=='Z' ...)
|
|
in aztcd_init() to exactly match the first 3 or 4 letters you have seen.
|
|
-Another point is the 'smart' card detection feature in aztcd_init(). Normally
|
|
the CD-ROM drive is ready, when aztcd_init is trying to read the version
|
|
string and a time consuming ACMD_SOFT_RESET command can be avoided. This is
|
|
detected by looking, if AFL_OP_OK can be read correctly. If the CD-ROM drive
|
|
hangs in some unknown state, e.g. because of an error before a warm start or
|
|
because you first operated under DOS, even the version string may be correct,
|
|
but the following commands will not. Then change the code in such a way,
|
|
that the ACMD_SOFT_RESET is issued in any case, by substituting the
|
|
if-statement 'if ( ...=AFL_OP_OK)' by 'if (1)'.
|
|
|
|
If you succeed, please mail me the exact version string of your drive and
|
|
the code modifications, you have made together with a short explanation.
|
|
If you don't succeed, you may mail me the output of the debugging messages.
|
|
But remember, they are only useful, if they are exact and complete and you
|
|
describe in detail your hardware setup and what you did (cold/warm reboot,
|
|
with/without DOS, DOS-driver started/not started, which Linux-commands etc.)

9. TECHNICAL HISTORY OF THE DRIVER
|
|
The AZTECH-Driver is a rework of the Mitsumi-Driver. Four major items had to
|
|
be reworked:
|
|
|
|
a) The Mitsumi drive does issue complete status information acknowledging
|
|
each command, the Aztech drive does only signal that the command was
|
|
processed. So whenever the complete status information is needed, an extra
|
|
ACMD_GET_STATUS command is issued. The handshake procedure for the drive
|
|
can be found in the functions aztSendCmd(), sendAztCmd() and getAztStatus().
|
|
|
|
b) The Aztech Drive does not have a ACMD_GET_DISK_INFO command, so the
|
|
necessary info about the number of tracks (firstTrack, lastTrack), disk
|
|
length etc. has to be read from the TOC in the lead in track (see function
|
|
aztGetDiskInfo()).
|
|
|
|
c) Whenever data is read from the drive, the Mitsumi drive is started with a
|
|
command to read an indefinite (0xffffff) number of sectors. When the appropriate
|
|
number of sectors is read, the drive is stopped by a ACDM_STOP command. This
|
|
does not work with the Aztech drive. I did not find a way to stop it. The
|
|
stop and pause commands do only work in AUDIO mode but not in DATA mode.
|
|
Therefore I had to modify the 'finite state machine' in function azt_poll to
|
|
only read a certain number of sectors and then start a new read on demand. As I
|
|
have not completely understood, how the buffer/caching scheme of the Mitsumi
|
|
driver was implemented, I am not sure, if I have covered all cases correctly,
|
|
whenever you get timeout messages, the bug is most likely to be in that
|
|
function azt_poll() around switch(cmd) .... case ACD_S_DATA.
|
|
|
|
d) I did not get information about changing drive mode. So I doubt, that the
|
|
code around function azt_poll() case AZT_S_MODE does work. In my test I have
|
|
not been able to switch to reading in raw mode. For reading raw mode, Aztech
|
|
uses a different command than for cooked mode, which I only have implemen-
|
|
ted in the ioctl-section but not in the section which is used by the ISO9660.
|
|
|
|
The driver was developed on an AST PC with Intel 486/DX2, 8MB RAM, 340MB IDE
|
|
hard disk and on an AST PC with Intel Pentium 60MHz, 16MB RAM, 520MB IDE
|
|
running Linux kernel version 1.0.9 from the LST 1.8 Distribution. The kernel
|
|
was compiled with gcc.2.5.8. My CD-ROM drive is an Aztech CDA268-01A. My
|
|
drive says, that it has Firmware Version AZT26801A1.3. It came with an ISA-bus
|
|
interface card and works with polled I/O without DMA and without interrupts.
|
|
The code for all other drives was 'remote' tested and debugged by a number of
|
|
volunteers on the Internet.
|
|
|
|
Points, where I feel that possible problems might be and all points where I
|
|
did not completely understand the drive's behaviour or trust my own code are
|
|
marked with /*???*/ in the source code. There are also some parts in the
|
|
Mitsumi driver, where I did not completely understand their code.

10. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
|
|
Without the help of P.Bush, Aztech, who delivered technical information
|
|
about the Aztech Drive and without the help of E.Moenkeberg, GWDG, who did a
|
|
great job in analyzing the command structure of various CD-ROM drives, this
|
|
work would not have been possible. E.Moenkeberg was also a great help in
|
|
making the software 'kernel ready' and in answering many of the CDROM-related
|
|
questions in the newsgroups. He really is *the* Linux CD-ROM guru. Thanks
|
|
also to all the guys on the Internet, who collected valuable technical
|
|
information about CDROMs.
|
|
|
|
Joe Nardone (joe@access.digex.net) was a patient tester even for my first
|
|
trial, which was more than slow, and made suggestions for code improvement.
|
|
Especially the 'finite state machine' azt_poll() was rewritten by Joe to get
|
|
clean C code and avoid the ugly 'gotos', which I copied from mcd.c.
|
|
|
|
Robby Schirmer (schirmer@fmi.uni-passau.de) tested the audio stuff (ioctls)
|
|
and suggested a lot of patches for them.
|
|
|
|
Joseph Piskor and Peter Nugent were the first users with the ORCHID CD3110
|
|
and also were very patient with the problems which occurred.
|
|
|
|
Reinhard Max delivered the information for the CDROM-interface of the
|
|
SoundWave32 soundcards.
|
|
|
|
Jochen Kunz and Olaf Kaluza delivered the information for supporting Conrad's
|
|
TXC drive.
|
|
|
|
Hilmar Berger delivered the patches for supporting CyCDROM CR520ie.
|
|
|
|
Anybody, who is interested in these items should have a look at 'ftp.gwdg.de',

|
11. PROGRAMMING ADD ONs: cdplay.c
|
|
You can use the ioctl-functions included in aztcd.c in your own programs. As
|
|
an example on how to do this, you will find a tiny CD Player for audio CDs
|
|
named 'cdplay.c'. It allows you to play audio CDs. You can play a specified
|
|
track, pause and resume or skip tracks forward and backwards. If you quit the
|
|
program without stopping the drive, playing is continued. You can also
|
|
(mis)use cdplay to read and hexdump data disks. You can find the code in the
|
|
APPENDIX of this file, which you should cut out with an editor and store in a
|
|
separate file 'cdplay.c'. To compile it and make it executable, do
|
|
gcc -s -Wall -O2 -L/usr/lib cdplay.c -o /usr/local/bin/cdplay # compiles it
|
|
chmod +755 /usr/local/bin/cdplay # makes it executable
|
|
ln -s /dev/aztcd0 /dev/cdrom # creates a link
|
|
(for /usr/lib substitute the top level directory, where your include files
|
|
reside, and for /usr/local/bin the directory, where you want the executable
|
|
binary to reside )
|
|
|
|
You have to set the correct permissions for cdplay *and* for /dev/mcd0 or
|
|
/dev/aztcd0 in order to use it. Remember, that you should not have /dev/cdrom
|
|
mounted, when you're playing audio CDs.
|
|
|
|
This program is just a hack for testing the ioctl-functions in aztcd.c. I will
|
|
not maintain it, so if you run into problems, discard it or have a look into
|
|
the source code 'cdplay.c'. The program does only contain a minimum of user
|
|
protection and input error detection. If you use the commands in the wrong
|
|
order or if you try to read a CD at wrong addresses, you may get error messages
|
|
or even hang your machine. If you get STEN_LOW, STEN_LOW_WAIT or segment violation
|
|
error messages when using cdplay, after that, the system might not be stable
|
|
any more, so you'd better reboot. As the ioctl-functions run in kernel mode,
|
|
most normal Linux-multitasking protection features do not work. By using
|
|
uninitialized 'wild' pointers etc., it is easy to write to other users' data
|
|
and program areas, destroy kernel tables etc.. So if you experiment with ioctls
|
|
as always when you are doing systems programming and kernel hacking, you
|
|
should have a backup copy of your system in a safe place (and you also
|
|
should try restoring from a backup copy first)!
|
|
|
|
A reworked and improved version called 'cdtester.c', which has yet more
|
|
features for testing CDROM-drives can be found in
|
|
Documentation/cdrom/sbpcd, written by E.Moenkeberg.
