 VSC205
LVD SCSI Enclosure Management Controller Product Brief
Overview
The VSC205 is an enclosure management controller for peripheral storage applications. This device supports in-band and out of band management strategies. The VSC205 implements in-band SES and SAF-TE enclosure management via the integrated SCSI interface. Out of band solutions are possible using IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) or through a customer unique approach. JBOD and RAID subsystem developers are provided a common hardware and software platform, which supports all common subsystem diagnostic and enclosure management strategies. The VSC205 may be used as the master controller of a I2C serial interface communicating with scalable slave backplane controllers such as Vitesse VSC055/050 and other industry standard devices.

SCSI Applications
The VSC205 offers dedicated port enclosure management across a parallel SCSI bus. The VSC205' integrated LVD SCSI controller is used to s provide a high performance, SES or SAF-TE solution. No external components are required with this approach; the VSC205 integrates both the data and command buffers and control logic. This architecture provides system designers with a common platform for various SCSI bus speeds and physical interfaces.

Architecture
System Level Integration (SLI) techniques were used to create a complete system on a chip. The VSC205 integrates a RISC embedded processor and additional DMA, memory and controller functionality. The VSC205 includes three, I2C serial interface bus master controllers. These controllers may be used to interface to off-the-shelf instrumentation and control devices commonly used in environmental

monitoring and management applications such as Vitesse VSC055/050 Backplane Controllers. The VSC205 requires off chip memory for firmware code storage. Most applications will use flash memory devices for non-volatile storage. Static RAM may be added for higher performance applications. The VSC205 has three external chip selects each with a one-megabyte address range. Two RS-232 serial ports provide assist firmware debug. One port is dedicated to in circuit emulation for the embedded processor. The second port implements a XMODEM connection for additional debug and firmware download. Firmware downloads are also supported via the SCSI bus. The VSC205 shares a similar hardware and firmware architecture as Vitesse SSC200 and SSC100. This allows system designers to leverage enclosure management strategies and implementations across parallel SCSI, ESI and dedicated port FC-AL storage solutions.

Software
The software designed to execute on the VSC205 determines the characteristics of the overall enclosure management solution. Most enclosure management applications will be unique to a customer's individual product. The VSC205 firmware architecture uses a Personality Module with captures the unique functionality required by a particular application. Vitesse provides a Software Development Kit (SDK) to customers to assist their development of their Personality Module. The SDK includes software to implement an ESI and a parallel SCSI transport for SAF-TE or SES diagnostic environments. In addition, the SDK also includes a System Services module with provides APIs to the peripheral functionality (interrupts, timers etc.) in the VSC205.
