[parisc-linux] Any docs on the 715?

[5116]

Are there any documents on the ASICs found in the 715 available? 
The stuff on the web page only seem the cover newer boxes.

Daniel,
Could you be more specific about what's missing?

See http://216.208.98.4/view.php3?type=machine&name=715%2F100

The PCX-L (PA7100LC) and LASI chip are documented.

WAX (EISA) support is not. Check if mklinux or openbsd have something
for this already and , erm, "borrow" it.

If Steve Shack gets the STI graphics support working for his 712,
it might also work on your 715. He's borrowing from one of the
other open source ports too.

I don't see much else that isn't documented.

There are two kinds of 715;  if you're lucky, you've got a "new" 715,
which has (really, check the hardware database for details) Lasi and
a PA7100LC, both documented, and undocumented graphics (all graphics
is).  There is very little difference between such 715s and 712s.

If you're unlucky (like me), you've got an "old" 715, which has ASP
(a Lasi predecessor) and what I believe is a PA7100.

Here's the list of things that work on the two boxes (* for things I
haven't actually checked, but believe should work):

715 old:
	network (10 mbit/s ethernet with a 10 base t transceiver)
	1 bpp unaccelerated framebuffer
	keyboard (HIL) *
	sound *
	serial *

715 new:
	network *
	1bpp unaccelerated framebuffer *
	keyboard (either PS/2 or HIL, both should work) *
	sound *
	serial *

I don't know about the 715 scsi chip, the eisa slot, parallel;
I don't think anyone has worked out how to use the LEDs yet.

the 715/old scsi chip is an ncr53c700.  everyone is too scared of it
right now.  the 715/new scsi chip is an ncr53c710 and Gyula Matics
committed code that should have that working.

If you look in the mach sources, flashing the LEDs is pretty
straightforward.

I definitely have the older version. If I open the box I can find the I
ntel, NCR and WD chips and those would have been integrated in to the
LASI if had one.

I'm back and i'll be hammering on the 710 driver till it starts
really working. The next targets are the c700 and the c720. probably
starting with the c700 as i now have a 715/50 at home.
