Decode SBP Transactions Dialog

Decoding SBP transactions requires information that's not necessarily included in the Trace
files. SBP2 is very dependent upon the management agent and command block addresses.
These addresses are needed in order to identify the SBP transactions. The address is in the
device’s Configuration ROM and is chosen by the device manufacturer. Therefore, the
FireInspector application can't always find the address. The Decode SBP Transactions
dialog (Figure 5-15) is used to supply the missing information so that the transactions can
be decoded and displayed in FireInspector. When decoding SBP, FireInspector first tries to
find Configuration ROM data in the Trace. If there is none, it then checks to see if it can use
the set of SBP decoding parameters that was last used. If not, it then loads and uses the file
default.sbp, which is the default SBP settings file.

To set up decoding parameters for SBP transactions:

Step 1

Select Setup > Decoding Parameters > SBP Decoding Parameters from the
menu bar.

Step 2

The Decode SBP Transactions dialog will open. If FireInspector found any
Configuration ROM data in the Trace, the dialog will be seeded with that
data.

Step 3

To add Management Agent Offsets: Enter the Base Address of the
management agent register and click Add. Repeat the procedure until you
have entered all of the base addresses that you need. The address(es) will be
displayed in the scroll box.

To add Command Block (Fetch) Agents: Enter any, all, or some of the
following information: the base address of the fetch agent register; the LUN
(Logical Unit Number) of the logical unit implemented by the target; the Fast
Start Offset (for SBP3 only). Click Add. Repeat the procedure until you have
entered all of the information that is needed. The information will be
displayed in the scroll box. Note: Fast Start Offsets should be given in
quadlets from the base address.

All parameters should be entered in hexadecimal.

Step 4

Click OK to apply the settings.
