Configuring SCO OpenServer 5 MDI drivers

Acfg utilities for ISA adapters

Automated configuration (acfg)utilities are used to read and optionally write the network adapter firmware or hardware for ISA adapters. only.

Acfg utilities are called by netconfig and not directly by the user. Two modes of operation are supported:


search mode
Find adapters and read their configuration. The syntax is:

acfg -d output_directory

output_directory is the directory where the acfg_output_file is written.


set mode
Write configuration information to the NVRAM on a software configurable ISA adapter. The syntax is:

acfg -f acfg_output_file -k old_key

acfg_output_file is the AOF-like file that the acfg utility creates and populates with values for options to be written to the adapter. These are in an attribute called SELECT. old_key is the previous key for this adapter, typically the I/O address of the adapter.

The NDSP for any driver that requires the acfg functionality must include the source for a driver-specific acfg binary, located in the acfg subdirectory to the driver package directory along with the Makefile for the utility. See the tok sample driver from the O5ndsamp package for acfg source code that can be copied and modified for your driver.
