Harddisk Controller RLV12/Hack


Disk Controllers

DEC made a lot of different disk controllers for the UNIBUS system but only a few for the Q-Bus system and of them only a few support 22-bit addressing, which with the exception of the RLV12 are all MSCP controllers.

The MSCP controllers make use of a very sophisticated software protocol and virtually support any disk size. The RLV12 on the other hand uses a simple device register interface with only 5 valid registers but supports only RL01 or RL02 drives with a very limited capacity of 5Mbyte or 10Mbyte respectively.

RLV12 Emulation

Looking at the users guide it was clear that building a RLV12 controller would be much less effort than a MSCP controller. And after I found that Mentec again added support for RL02 in their latest release for RSX-11MPlus I decided to go for the RLV12 emulation. This is a very simple controller that has only 5 device registers and only implements 8 disk control functions.

Later I have adopted the design to the real Q-Bus, so I have now a RLV12 Emulator for the PDP-11/Hack and the real Q-Bus PDP-11 systems.

A description of the RLV12 emulator V2.0 can be found here .

First RLV12 Emulator for the PDP-11/Hack

Here are pictures of the first RLV12 Emulator with the decoupling capacitors added on the fly. You can also see a 2k2 pull-up resistor on the DO pin of the SD-Card slot. This is required as before the SD-Card interface is set to SPI the output is open collector and requires a pull-up resistor.

System Bus

On the rear side you can see the added capacitors. In this picture the connections are as they were in the original state, in the meantime I have change some connections between the MCU and the CPLD to make better use special function inputs of the CPLD.

System Bus

Schematic

Note the following are the schematics and boards as they are used in the prototype currently used in the PDP-11/Hack system. However there are some modifications required. First I forgot to add decoupling capacitors with 10µF to buffer the high current peak when inserting an SD-Card. This can cause a reset of the whole system. I added them on the fly to the board.

Also the Hack version connected a different pin of the microcontroller to the CLK1 input of the CPLD than the Q-Bus version. This has been ECO’d and now the same pin connects to CLK1 input on both RLV12 versions to have the same microcontroller program in both versions.

The change swaps pins 83 and 84 on the CPLD (cut the two traces and install two new wires)

/*
    2018-12-05  Based on the working RVL12 Emulator (See Qbridge11, v1) now
                with DMA implemented as state machine. The interface towards
                the MCU consists now only of 2 pins. A DMR (DMA Request) from
                the MCU and the DMG (DMA Grant) to the MCU to signal the
                progress and allows the MCU to read and write the DMA data
                using the normal data register. The DMA data register is gone.
                The Base Control Register CS1 is now implemented as an internal
                register. That is when reading CS1 then the internal register
                is immediately returned to the PDP-11 and the MCU is not interrupted.

    2018-12-12  Correct BDAL select signals, use positive logic for UB and LB, adapt
                the comments in the section to the new design, remove uneccessary PINNODE
                
    2018-12-19  New Statemachine concept

    2018-12-21  Additional cycles between SACK and SYNC and SYNC and data phase
                Bidirectional open collector signals must not be registered else WinCUPL
                will use the output of the flip-flop and not the PIN as input, sometimes
                you must even force equations

    2018-12-22  New PDP-11 interrupt logic. Now the MCU just sets IRQST when an interrupt
                is requested. This asserts BIRQ and on the next BDIN cycle the status is
                latched. In case we are the highest priority device when the interrupt
                is acknowledged by the PDP-11 the MCU is alerted via INT2. The MCU has
                then to take care of the various signals related to the interrupt. I.e.
                the MCU must de-assert IRQST and must clear the INT2 interrupt. If required
                the MCU can then also update the CS1 register. E.g. the RH70 always clears
                IE if an interrupt is acknowledged.

    The interrupt logic is now fully handled in software so we can also update CS1 if needed.
    The CPU sets IRQST whenever an interrupt is required. This asserts !BIRQ on the QBUS. When
    the PDP-11 acknowledges the interrupt first DACK will be set which causes INT2 to be reset
    when !BIAKI is asserted. In the INT2_isr of the MCU the first action will be to deassert
    IRQST and then eventually update CS1. Then it will have to set INT2 in the CPLD with a 
    short pulse on IACK which then asserts BRPLY.

    0. If signals are simultanuously configured as open collector, register and
    are used bidirectional WinCUPL unfortunately does not take the .PIN when we
    refer to .io extension. Therefore we cannot use the statemachine signals as
    open collector IO pins. Therefore we need additional signals TSYNC, TDOUT
    and TDIN.
    1. This state machine interacts directly with the MCU for the data transfer.
    First the MCU requests a DMA with a rising edge on DMR which asserts BDMR.
    When the CPU acknoweldges a DMA request it asserts BDMGI. This daisy chain
    signal must be propagated by all devices until it reaches the first that
    requested the DMA. In case we did not request the DMA (DMR is de-asserted)
    the statemachine will propagate BDMGI to BDMGO and wait until BDMGI is
    de-asserted and returns to the idle state. When we have requested the DMA
    the statemachine will assert BSACK, place the DMA address onto the data
    bus and then asserts BSYNC. 
    2. For DMA writes the state machine then asserts DMG which is polled by the
    MCU which then loads the bus data register with the DMA data. Once the data
    has been written the MCU de-asserts DMR and the statemachine will finish
    the DMA write request.
    3. For DMA reads the the state machine waits for BRPLY to be asserted and
    will then assert DMG to signal the MCU that the DMA data can be read from
    the QBUS. Once the MCU has done this it will de-assert DMR and the state
    machine will finish the DMA cycle.
    4. DMG will be deasserted when the state machine has finished the DMA cycle.
    So before the MCU starts another DMA cycle it must check DMG to be de-asserted.

    Transfer rate is approximatively 1Mbyte/second and a DMA cycle takes about
    1usec. DMA on a real PDP-11 has about twice the performance, i.e. the transfer
    rate is about 2Mbyte/second and a DMA cycle only takes about 500ns. However
    the SD-Card has no seek and rotational latency. This more then compensates it.

/* This is the workfile to change pin allocations

    2018-12-05  Based on the working RVL12 Emulator (See Qbridge11, v1) now
                with DMA implemented as state machine. The interface towards
                the MCU consists now only of 2 pins. A DMR (DMA Request) from
                the MCU and the DMG (DMA Grant) to the MCU to signal the
                progress.
    2018-12-28  Swap RD and IACK to keep changes to the real Q-Bus version minimal,
                i.e. only need to swap IACK and WR in the Atmega1284P definitions
    2018-07-03  Swap differently, just swap WR and IACK and keep RD on a sub-optimal
                input, this results in the same pin allocation of the MCU on both
                versions. RD should in fact go to a OE input pin to save product
                terms and fan-in, however the AD multiplexor is not at it's limit
                so it does still fit the CPLD.
