L.2 Configuring VAXstation 2000 and MicroVAX 2000 Devices (VAX Only)
The System Generation utility (SYSGEN) connects devices, loads their
drivers, creates the data structures by which the operating system and
drivers coordinate their activities, and calls device initialization
routines. In general, SYSGEN is invoked for these purposes late in
system initialization during the execution of the system startup
command procedure, SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM.
At that time, STARTUP.COM issues a SYSGEN command AUTOCONFIGURE ALL.
SYSGEN's Autoconfigure facility examines its table of possible
VAXstation 2000 and MicroVAX 2000 devices (see Table L-2),
determines which devices are attached to the system, and configures
existing devices using information in the table.
HP strongly recommends that you accept the default behavior of
STARTUP.COM. If you must exclude a specific device from being
configured, you must first prevent STARTUP.COM from performing the
autoconfiguration by setting the SYSBOOT parameter NOAUTOCONFIG. After
invoking SYSGEN, you should ensure that the base asynchronous serial
ports are always autoconfigured. To do this, enter the following
command:
SYSGEN> AUTOCONFIGURE ALL/SELECT=TT:
|
You can also enter an AUTOCONFIGURE ALL/EXCLUDE=(device-name[,...])
command, making sure not to exclude the serial lines. Subsequent
CONNECT statements should be written with the appropriate
csr_addr value to the command's /CSR qualifier, as shown in
Table L-2. These csr_addr values are actually offsets from
the beginning of VAXstation 2000 and MicroVAX 2000 I/O space
(EXE$GL_CPUNODSP), thus differing from the customary bus address value
traditionally specified for UNIBUS devices in the CONNECT command.

Examples of correct CONNECT commands for VAXstation 2000 and MicroVAX
2000 devices include the following ones:
CONNECT ESA0 /ADAP=0 /CSR=%X4E00 /VECT=%O120 /NUMV=01 /DRIVER=ESDRIVER
CONNECT MUA0 /ADAP=0 /CSR=%X0C80 /VECT=%O770 /NUMV=01 /DRIVER=TVDRIVER
CONNECT DUA0 /ADAP=0 /CSR=%X0C00 /VECT=%O774 /NUMV=01 /DRIVER=DVDRIVER
CONNECT DUA1 /ADAP=0 /CSR=%X0C00 /VECT=%O774 /NUMV=01 /DRIVER=DVDRIVER
CONNECT DUA2 /ADAP=0 /CSR=%X0C00 /VECT=%O774 /NUMV=01 /DRIVER=DVDRIVER
CONNECT VCA0 /ADAP=0 /CSR=%X5000 /VECT=%O104 /NUMV=01 /DRIVER=VEDRIVER
CONNECT VCA0 /ADAP=0 /CSR=%X5000 /VECT=%O104 /NUMV=02 /DRIVER=VFDRIVER
