.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B rascsi
|
|
Emulates SCSI devices using the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In the arguments to RaSCSI, one or more SCSI (-IDn) or SASI (-HDn) devices can be specified.
|
|
The number (n) after the ID or HD identifier specifies the ID number for that device.
|
|
For SCSI: The ID is limited from 0-7. However, typically SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the "initiator" (the host computer). Note that SASI is considered rare and only used on very early Sharp X68000 computers.
|
|
.PP
|
|
RaSCSI will determine the type of device based upon the file extension of the FILE argument.
|
|
hdf: SASI Hard Disk image (XM6 SASI HD image - typically only used with X68000)
|
|
hds: SCSI Hard Disk image (generic)
|
|
hdn: SCSI Hard Disk image (NEC GENUINE)
|
|
hdi: SCSI Hard Disk image (Anex86 HD image)
|
|
nhd: SCSI Hard Disk image (T98Next HD image)
|
|
hda: SCSI Hard Disk image (APPLE GENUINE - typically used with Mac SCSI emulation)
|
|
mos: SCSI Magneto-optical image (XM6 SCSI MO image - typically only used with X68000)
|
|
iso: SCSI CD-ROM image (ISO 9660 image)
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to specify an Apple-compatible HD image on ID 0, you can use the following command:
|
|
sudo rascsi -ID0 /path/to/drive/hdimage.hda
|
|
|
|
Once RaSCSI starts, it will open a socket (default port is 6868) to allow external management commands.
|
|
If another process is using the rascsi port, RaSCSI will terminate, since it is likely another instance of RaSCSI.
|
|
Once RaSCSI has initialized, the rasctl utility can be used to send commands.
|
|
|
|
To quit RaSCSI, press Control + C. If it is running in the background, you can kill it using an INT signal.
|

.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-f\fI " " \fIFOLDER
|
|
The default folder for image files. For files in this folder no absolute path needs to be specified. The default folder is '/home/pi/images'.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-g\fI " " \fILOG_LEVEL
|
|
The rascsi log level (trace, debug, info, warn, err, critical, off). The default log level is 'trace'.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-h\fI " " \fI
|
|
Show a help page.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-p\fI " " \fIPORT
|
|
The rascsi server port, default is 6868.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-v\fI " " \fI
|
|
Display the rascsi version.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-ID\fIn " " \fIFILE
|
|
n is the SCSI ID number (0-7)
|
|
.IP
|
|
FILE is the name of the image file to attach to that ID. If FILE starts with '/dev/' the extension, which encodes the device type, is stripped, so that device files can conveniently be used as image files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-HD\fIn " " \fIFILE
|
|
n is the SASI ID number (0-15)
|
|
.IP
|
|
FILE is the name of the image file to attach to that ID. If FILE starts with '/dev/' the extension, which encodes the device type, is stripped, so that device files can conveniently be used as image files.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Note: SASI usage is rare, and is typically limited to early Sharp X68000 systems.
|
|
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
Launch RaSCSI with no emulated drives attached:
|
|
rascsi
|
|
|
|
Launch RaSCSI with an Apple hard drive image as ID 0 and a CD-ROM as ID 2
|
|
rascsi -ID0 /path/to/harddrive.hda -ID2 /path/to/cdimage.iso
|
|
|
|
Launch RaSCSI with a SCSI hard drive image as ID 0 and the raw device file /dev/hdb (e.g. a USB stick) as an image file:
|
|
rascsi -ID0 /dev/hdb.hds
|
|
|
|
To create an empty, 100MB HD image, use the following command:
|
|
dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/newimage.hda bs=512 count=204800
|
|
|
|
In case the fallocate command is available a much faster alternative to the dd command is:
|
|
fallocate -l 104857600 /path/to/newimage.hda
|
