no scc_hdlc struct in commproc.h

no scc_hdlc struct in commproc.h

[Julia Elbert]

Hello,
I did not find a scc_hdlc structure like scc_enet and scc_uart in
commproc.h. Do I just need to make one similar to scc_enet and modify it
according to p.24-4 in the 860 book? This is the scc parameter ram memory
map versus scc ethernet parameter ram memmory map.
Thank you in advance.

I don't think anyone has submitted any source patches to provide it.
There has been some discussion in the past......

That would be great.  If you would like to submit it as a patch someday,
that would be even greater :-).  What are you connecting at each end
of the port?  NMSI, TDM, custom software?

Another part of your project will be writing a driver.  In the past,
the accepted suggestion was to not modify the uart driver, as that
is a _uart_ driver, not an SCC driver.  You can use that as a model
to create, say, hdlc.c......Then just ensure you don't try to configure
the SCC in both places (and there  may need to be a little knowledge
about each one in every driver).

Have fun!

I wrote the following one for my project (which is about adding ISDN
functionality for MPC860):

/*********   SCC parameter RAM for HDLC mode   *********/
typedef struct scc_hdlc {
	ushort	scc_rbase;	// Rx Buffer descriptor base address
	ushort	scc_tbase;	// Tx Buffer descriptor base address
	u_char	scc_rfcr;	// Rx function code
	u_char	scc_tfcr;	// Tx function code
	ushort	scc_mrblr;	// Max receive buffer length
	uint	scc_rstate;	// internal
	uint	scc_idp;	// internal
	ushort	scc_rbptr;	// internal
	ushort	scc_ibc;	// internal
	uint	scc_rxtmp;	// internal

	ushort	scc_tbc;	// internal
	uint	scc_txtmp;	// internal
	uint	scc_rcrc;	// internal
	uint	scc_tcrc;	// internal
	// here begins HDLC specific part
	uint	scc_res1;	// reserved
	uint	scc_cmask;	// CRC mask

} scc_hdlc_t;

Just a couple of minor comments......

This first part of the object is defined by 'scc_param', so the
convention would have been:

typedef struct scc_hdlc {
	sccp_t	scc_hdlc;

Followed by:
>         // here begins HDLC specific part
>         uint    scc_res1;       // reserved

The documentation describes the CPM devices in this way, and it is
a little more clear what is common to the SCC, and what is unique
to the HDLC feature.

....since we aren't writing C++, I also dislike the '//' comment......

I would have made these two changes if it was sent as a patch to
me for inclusion in the source code.....

In fact, I will keep this and include it in the future....Do you have
any code you want to submit along with it?
