Introduction to this Manual This manual is the Personal488 User’s Manual for Windows 95 and Windows NT. The material in this manual discusses PC/IEEE 488 controller interface hardware and their accompanying 32-bit driver software. This material is divided into the following sections: · Chapter 1: Personal488 Overview gives a general description of both the interface hardware and the driver software associated with each of the Personal488 PC/IEEE 488 controller interface packages discussed in this manual. · Chapter 2: Personal488/PCI (with PCI488) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation of the "plug-&-play" PCI488 interface and its drivers. · Chapter 3: Personal488/ATpnp (with AT488pnp) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation of the "plug-&-play" AT488pnp interface and its drivers. · Chapter 4: Personal488/CARD (with CARD488) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation of the "plug-&-play" CARD488 interface and its drivers. · Chapter 5: Personal488/AT (with AT488) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation and configuration of the AT488 interface and its drivers. · Chapter 6: Personal488 (with GP488B) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation and configuration of the GP488B interface and its drivers. · Chapter 7: Personal488/MM (with GP488B/MM) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation and configuration of the GP488B/MM interface and its drivers. · Chapter 8: Driver488/W95 & Driver488/WNT gives a more-detailed description of the 32-bit Windows-based driver software implemented with each of the Personal488 products in this manual, and includes instructions for the configuration of this software. · Chapter 9: API Command Reference provides descriptions for the entire API command set combining both 32-bit versions of Driver488 – Driver488/W95 and Driver488/WNT – and covering each of the Personal488 products in this manual. The description format of the individual API commands includes the command syntax, returned response, operating mode, bus states, and an example program excerpt. · Chapter 10: Troubleshooting provides a reference for possible solutions to technical problems. Before calling for technical assistance, refer to this chapter. · The Appendix provides background information concerning the IEEE 488 bus, the serial bus, and ASCII controls. · The Index provides a comprehensive alphabetical listing of the main terms and topics in this manual. Also, the Abbreviations on the last pages of this manual, provides an overall list of abbreviations, including acronyms and ASCII control codes, as an additional reference for this manual and for other related literature. Since many of the hardware names and boards discussed in this manual appear very similar to each other, make sure you view the material which corresponds to your specific hardware board. For example, although the GP488B and GP488B/MM names are very similar, the interface boards are not identical; some material will apply to only one of these boards. Information which may have changed since the time of printing will be found in a README.TXT file on disk, or in an addendum to the manual.

  • Direct Memory Access
    International Journal of Research in Science And Technology http://www.ijrst.com (IJRST) 2014, Vol. No. 4, Issue No. III, Jul-Sep ISSN: 2249-0604 DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS LokeshMadan1, KislayAnand2and Bharat Bhushan3 1Department of Computer Science, Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon, India 2Department of Computer Science, Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon, India 3Department of Computer Science, Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon, India ABSTRACT Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a feature in all modern computers that allow devices to be able to move large blocks of data without any interaction with the processor. This can be useful, as you may have already seen from the floppy programming chapter. While the device transfers the block of data, the processor is free to continue running the software without worry about the data being transferred into memory, or to another device. The basic idea is that we can schedule the DMA device to perform the task on its own. Different buses and architecture designs have different methods of performing direct memory access. KEYWORDS: Processor register,cyclestealing,busmastering,countregisters,interleaved,c ache invalidation, schematics, gigabit Ethernet. INTRODUCTION A DMA controller can generate memory addresses and initiate memory read or write cycles. It contains several processor registers that can be written and read by the CPU. These include a memory address register, a byte count register, and one or more control registers. The control registers specify the I/O port to use, the direction of the transfer (reading from the I/O device or writing to the I/O device), the transfer unit (byte at a time or word at a time), and the number of bytes to transfer in one burst.

  • Setting up MPU-401 and Compatible Cards on Your PC
    ® Supplemental RAP-10 ®ÂØÒňΠRoland Audio Producer Notes May 21, 1996 Installing the RAP-10 in Windows 95 These notes are designed to help you install the Roland Audio Production Card (RAP-10) and configure it for use in Windows 95. This process will consist of the following four steps: I. First, we will look at computers and peripherals and how they work together. See “Typical Hardware Setup”. II. Second, we will prepare the RAP-10 for installation. See “Changing Hardware Settings”. III. Third, we will install the Windows software. See “Installing the Roland Audio Tools Software”. IV. Finally, we will test the RAP-10 to make sure it has been installed properly. See “Testing the RAP-10 Card”. If you were previously using the RAP-10 successfully under Windows 3.1 in the same computer, you can skip the first two steps and go directly to Section III. I. Typical Hardware Setup Interrupts and Addresses IBM-compatible computers can be expanded to accept many different devices such as a mouse, modem, printer, sound card, or MIDI card. Your computer uses interrupts (also called IRQs) and port addresses (or I/O addresses) to distinguish between these different devices. Since this guide is not intended to explain the concepts of IBM computers in detail, we will not jump into the particular definitions of IRQs and addresses. Just remember that the IRQ and port address numbers must be unique for EVERY device in your computer. DMA Channels The RAP-10 card also uses two DMA channels (Direct Memory Access) for the recording and playback of digital audio.

    Position Paper: Defending Direct Memory Access with CHERI Capabilities A. Theodore Markettos John Baldwin Ruslan Bukin University of Cambridge Ararat River Consulting University of Cambridge [email protected] Peter G. Neumann Simon W. Moore Robert N. M. Watson SRI International University of Cambridge University of Cambridge ABSTRACT We propose new solutions that can efficiently address the problem of malicious memory access from pluggable computer peripherals and microcontrollers embedded within a system-on-chip. This prob- lem represents a serious emerging threat to total-system computer security. Previous work has shown that existing defenses are insuf- ficient and poorly deployed, in part due to performance concerns. In this paper we explore the threat and its implications for system architecture. We propose a range of protection techniques, from lightweight to heavyweight, across different classes of systems. We consider how emerging capability architectures (and specifically the CHERI protection model) can enhance protection and provide Figure 1: A typical computer system contains multiple a convenient bridge to describe interactions among software and components with rights to directly access memory – not hardware components. Finally, we describe how new schemes may only from internal processor cores, but also from peripheral be more efficient than existing defenses. devices.

  • DMA, System Buses and Peripheral Buses
    EECE 379 : DESIGN OF DIGITAL AND MICROCOMPUTER SYSTEMS 2000/2001 WINTER SESSION, TERM 1 DMA, System Buses and Peripheral Buses Direct Memory Access is a method of transferring data between peripherals and memory without using the CPU. After this lecture you should be able to: identify the advantages and disadvantages of using DMA and programmed I/O, select the most appropriate method for a particular application. System buses are the buses used to interface the CPU with memory and peripherals on separate PC cards. The ISA and PCI buses are used as examples. You should be able to state the most important specifications of both buses. Serial interfaces are typically used to connect computer systems and low-speed external peripherals such as modems and printers. Serial interfaces reduce the cost of interconnecting devices because the bits in a byte are time-multiplexed onto a single wire and connector. After this lecture you should be able to describe the operation and format of data and handshaking signals on an RS-232 interface. Parallel ports are also used to interface the CPU to I/O devices. Two common parallel port standards, the “Centron- ics” parallel printer port and the SCSI interface are described. After this lecture you should be able to design simple input and output I/O ports using address decoders, registers and tri-state buffers. Programmed I/O Approximately how many bus cycles will be required? Programmed I/O (PIO) refers to using input and out- put (or move) instructions to transfer data between Direct Memory Access (DMA) memory and the registers on a peripheral interface.

  • What Is a DMA Controller?
    Direct Memory Access (DMA) For the execution of a computer program, it requires the synchronous working of more than one component of a computer. For example, Processors – providing necessary control information, address etc. buses – to transfer information and data to and from memory to I/O device etc. The interesting factor of the system would be the way it handles the transfer of information among processor, memory and I/O devices. Usually, processors control all the process of transferring data, right from initiating the transfer to the storage of data at the destination. This adds load on the processor and most of the time it stays in the ideal state, thus decreasing the efficiency of the system. To speed up the transfer of data between I/O devices and memory, DMA controller acts as station master. DMA controller transfers data with minimal intervention of the processor. What is a DMA Controller? The term DMA stands for direct memory access. The hardware device used for direct memory access is called the DMA controller. DMA controller is a control unit, part of I/O device’s interface circuit, which can transfer blocks of data between I/O devices and main memory with minimal intervention from the processor. The DMA transfers the data in three modes which include the following. a) Burst Mode: In this mode DMA handover the buses to CPU only after completion of whole data transfer. Meanwhile, if the CPU requires the bus it has to stay ideal and wait for data transfer. b) Cycle Stealing Mode: In this mode, DMA gives control of buses to CPU after transfer of every byte.
