t167 TEST PROGRAM
Introduction
This appendix describes t167, a test program that can be used with the SBC
SCSI Software. The test program is primarily used to send commands to the
SIOP Firmware. The test program can also be used to send commands to the
SBC SCSI Driver Library (SDL). The SDL is not described in any User's
Manual. It is given out as unsupported source on the Single Board Computers
SCSI Software Release Tape. Refer to the SBC SCSI Software Release 1.1 Software
Release Guide (SBCSCSI/S1) for additional information on this release tape.
t167 and the SDL are for example purposes only. They are not maintained as
supported products.
Overview
t167 is a menu-driven program that is used to interface to the SBC SCSI
Software (SIOP Firmware and the SDL). Its architecture supports both Tools
and Tests for the SIOP Firmware and the SDL. The Tools menu items allow
commands to be sent to the SIOP Firmware or to the SDL. These commands
are those defined by the SIOP Firmware and the SDL. The Tests menu items
are not implemented, but they do show up in the menus.
t167 is designed to run in a stand-alone environment or as a task under
VMEexec 2.0 or later. In the stand-alone mode, t167 does not require any
operating system. It uses only the services of the SBC ROM Debuggers for I/O
to the console port. In this mode, t167 takes over complete control of the SBC.
When t167 is used in the VMEexec environment, it runs as any other VMEexec
task. A README file is provided along with the source to t167. This file
explains how to run t167 in each of these modes.
The remaining sections in this appendix provide detailed descriptions of the
submenus and submenu selections which comprise t167 from a user's
perspective. Figure E-1 on the following page is a graphical representation of
the submenus and functions which make up t167. Not all of the menu items
are implemented.
