EVCGC is the third of four Repair Level Diagnostics for the
CI780. It is comprised of thirty-twO tests.
To run EVCGC, boot in the Diagnostic Supervisor, load
EVCGC.EXE, and attach as follows:
For a CI780 on
a VAX 8600 :
'ATTACH SBIA HUB (SI0 or SI1)'
ATTACH CI780 (SI0 or SI1) PAA0 14 4 0'
where 14 is the TR number,
4 is the BR level, and
0 is the Node number.
SELECT PAA0
START
For a CI780 on
a VAX 780,785:
'ATTACH CI780 HUB PAA0 14 4 0'
where 14 is the TR number,
4 is the BR level, and
0 is the node number.
SELECT PAA0
START
For data on attaching, type 'HELP EVGAA ATTACH_CI780' OR CI750
or PX780 or ATTACH_CI780_8600.
Each time information is desired on the following keywords
it is necessary to type HELP EVGAA 'keyword'.
- ATTACH_CI780_8600.
ATTACH SBIA HUB SI0 ; If SBIA1 is used, attach SI1
; instead of SI0
ATTACH CI780 SI0 PAA0 14 4 0 ; attaches CI780 to VAX 8600
SELECT PAA0 ; selects device to be run
Device: CI780
Link: SI0/SI1
Recommended generic: PAa0
Additional information:
TR Number: [decimal 1-15] determined by BP jumpers
BR Level: [4-7] determined by BP jumpers
Node Number: [decimal 0-255] switch select on Link Bd
Note that the node number set on the Link Bd should agree with
the node number used in the Attach Command.
- ATTACH_CI780
; On a VAX 11/785 it is attached in the
; same way as the Vax 11/780
ATTACH CI780 HUB PAA0 14 4 0 ; attaches CI780 to 11/780
SELECT PAA0 ; selects device to be run
Device: CI780
Link: HUB/SBI
Recommended generic: PAa0
Additional information:
TR Number: [decimal 1-15] determined by BP jumpers
BR Level: [4-7] determined by BP jumpers
Node Number: [decimal 0-255] switch select on Link Bd
Note that the node number set on the Link Bd should agree with
the node number used in the Attach Command.
- SECTIONS
Sections names have been generated for tests that test
common hardware and/or similar functions. The user can run
any individual section by typing START/SECTION:SECTION NAME
The following sections are available in EVCGC:
EXTBUS - External Bus Tests (SBI)
PBUFFER - Packet Buffer Tests
- MICRO_LOOPING
Most of the tests employing the use of custom microcode
routines have the ability to loop on the microcode by
setting Event Flag #6, prior to starting the desired test.
This action sets a ULOOP bit in a Local Store Location
causing the test to execute a Diagnostic Supervisor abort
(to stop the macrocode but allow the CI780 microcode to
loop on the desired test. It is necessary to clear Event
Flag #6 before proceeding to run any other test in the
normal procedure. Note that ulooping is not applicable
to all tests, and could cause misleading results. Check
the test header and test ucode for additional information.
To set Event Flag 6, type 'SET EVENT 6'.
To clear Event Flag 6, type 'CLEAR EVENT 6'.
- EVENT_FLAGS
EVENT FLAG 6 is used for micro-looping.
To set Event Flag 6, type 'SET EVENT 6'.
To clear Event Flag 6, type 'CLEAR EVENT 6'.
Type 'HELP EVCGC MICRO_LOOPING' for more information.
- QUICK
The QUICK feature is not implemented in this diagnostic.
The diagnostic execution time for EVCGC is 84 seconds.
