ISPFW(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ISPFW(4)NAME
ispfw -- Firmware Module for Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device ispfw
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
ispfw_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
This trivial driver provides access to firmware sets for the Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters. It may either be stati-
cally linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module. In either case, the isp(4) driver will notice that firmware is available to be down-
loaded onto Qlogic cards (to replace the usually out of date firmware on the cards). This will kick the f/w into getting unstuck.

isp -- Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters
SYNOPSIS
isp* at pci? dev? function? (PCI)
isp* at sbus? slot ? offset ? (SBus)
scsibus* at isp?
DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to SCSI or FibreChannel devices.
SCSI features include support for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions for SCSI, and LVD (for the ISP1080 and ISP1280),
Fibre Channel support uses FCP SCSI profile for FibreChannel. and uses Class 3 connections only. Support is available for Public and Pri-
vate loops. Command tagging is supported for all (in fact, FibreChannel requires tagging).
CONFIGURATION
An optional flags 0x80 appended to the above isp* declarations will disable the download of driver firmware, which means you use whatever
firmware is running on the card. If no firmware is running on the card, the driver cannot operate the card.
An optional flags 0x40 appended to the above isp* declarations (can be OR'd in with the other config flags option) will keep the driver from
looking at device or bus NVRAM settings (this is in case NVRAM is just wrong and you have the card in a platform where it is inconvenient to
change NVRAM settings on the card).

BUGS
The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
The driver currently doesn't do error recovery for timed out commands very gracefully.
Sometimes, when booting, the driver gets stuck waiting for the Fibre Channel firmware to tell it that the loop port database is ready. In
this case you'll see an announcement that the loop state has a value of 0x1. To unwedge the system, unplug and replug the fibre channel con-
nection, or otherwise cause a LIP (Loop Initialization Primitive sequence) - this will kick the firmware into getting unstuck.
