4.6.2 Raptor with a Secondary Framebuffer







The Raptor can be made the console device when other
secondary framebuffers are present in the system.

To configure the Raptor card as the console when UPA
framebuffers are in the system, the output-device variable in
NVRAM must be changed to the actual path of the desired
Raptor cards. This path can best be determined by searching for
the string TSI in the / tree at the ok prompt.

To find the PCI devices, at the ok prompt, type the following:

ok show-devs

You should see at least one entry containing the string TSI. For
example, TSI,rapifp@#, where # will be a digit representing
your Raptor’s PCI slot number.

Use this entry as the console device for your desired Raptor
card. For example, if the path is /pci@1f,4000 to the Raptor
3840T device TSI,rapifp@#, type the following command:






ok setenv output-device /pci@1f,4000/TSI,rapifp@#

ok reset-all

NOTE: Replace # with the digit representing your Raptor’s PCI
slot number.

NOTE: This section does not apply to Sun Blade machines.
The information in section 4.6.1 applies to all Sun Blades with
multiple framebuffers.
