Why two types of accelerators in the Win32 API? We can only
|
|
guess, but my best bet is that the Win32 resource compiler
|
|
can/does not handle struct packing. Win32 <type>ACCEL</type>
|
|
is defined using <function>#pragma(2)</function> for the
|
|
compiler but without any packing for RC, so it will assume
|
|
<function>#pragma(4)</function>.

<title>Doing A Hardware Trace</title>

The primary reason to do this is to reverse engineer a
|
|
hardware device for which you don't have documentation, but
|
|
can get to work under Wine.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This lot is aimed at parallel port devices, and in particular
|
|
parallel port scanners which are now so cheap they are
|
|
virtually being given away. The problem is that few
|
|
manufactures will release any programming information which
|
|
prevents drivers being written for Sane, and the traditional
|
|
technique of using DOSemu to produce the traces does not work
|
|
as the scanners invariably only have drivers for Windows.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Presuming that you have compiled and installed wine the first
|
|
thing to do is is to enable direct hardware access to your
|
|
parallel port. To do this edit <filename>config</filename>
|
|
(usually in <filename>~/.wine/</filename>) and in the
|
|
ports section add the following two lines
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
read=0x378,0x379,0x37a,0x37c,0x77a
|
|
write=0x378,x379,0x37a,0x37c,0x77a
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This adds the necessary access required for SPP/PS2/EPP/ECP
|
|
parallel port on LPT1. You will need to adjust these number
|
|
accordingly if your parallel port is on LPT2 or LPT0.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When starting wine use the following command line, where
|
|
<literal>XXXX</literal> is the program you need to run in
|
|
order to access your scanner, and <literal>YYYY</literal> is
|
|
the file your trace will be stored in:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
wine -debugmsg +io XXXX 2> >(sed 's/^[^:]*:io:[^ ]* //' > YYYY)
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You will need large amounts of hard disk space (read hundreds
|
|
of megabytes if you do a full page scan), and for reasonable
|
|
performance a really fast processor and lots of RAM.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You will need to postprocess the output into a more manageable
|
|
format, using the <command>shrink</command> program. First
|
|
you need to compile the source (which is located at the end of
|
|
this section):
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
cc shrink.c -o shrink
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Use the <command>shrink</command> program to reduce the
|
|
physical size of the raw log as follows:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
cat log | shrink > log2
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The trace has the basic form of
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
XXXX > YY @ ZZZZ:ZZZZ
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
where <literal>XXXX</literal> is the port in hexidecimal being
|
|
accessed, <literal>YY</literal> is the data written (or read)
|
|
from the port, and <literal>ZZZZ:ZZZZ</literal> is the address
|
|
in memory of the instruction that accessed the port. The
|
|
direction of the arrow indicates whether the data was written
|
|
or read from the port.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
> data was written to the port
|
|
< data was read from the port
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
My basic tip for interpreting these logs is to pay close
|
|
attention to the addresses of the IO instructions. Their
|
|
grouping and sometimes proximity should reveal the presence of
|
|
subroutines in the driver. By studying the different versions
|
|
you should be able to work them out. For example consider the
|
|
following section of trace from my UMAX Astra 600P
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
0x378 > 55 @ 0297:01ec
|
|
0x37a > 05 @ 0297:01f5
|
|
0x379 < 8f @ 0297:01fa
|
|
0x37a > 04 @ 0297:0211
|
|
0x378 > aa @ 0297:01ec
|
|
0x37a > 05 @ 0297:01f5
|
|
0x379 < 8f @ 0297:01fa
|
|
0x37a > 04 @ 0297:0211
|
|
0x378 > 00 @ 0297:01ec
|
|
0x37a > 05 @ 0297:01f5
|
|
0x379 < 8f @ 0297:01fa
|
|
0x37a > 04 @ 0297:0211
|
|
0x378 > 00 @ 0297:01ec
|
|
0x37a > 05 @ 0297:01f5
|
|
0x379 < 8f @ 0297:01fa
|
|
0x37a > 04 @ 0297:0211
|
|
0x378 > 00 @ 0297:01ec
|
|
0x37a > 05 @ 0297:01f5
|
|
0x379 < 8f @ 0297:01fa
|
|
0x37a > 04 @ 0297:0211
|
|
0x378 > 00 @ 0297:01ec
|
|
0x37a > 05 @ 0297:01f5
|
|
0x379 < 8f @ 0297:01fa
|
|
0x37a > 04 @ 0297:0211
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
As you can see there is a repeating structure starting at
|
|
address <literal>0297:01ec</literal> that consists of four io
|
|
accesses on the parallel port. Looking at it the first io
|
|
access writes a changing byte to the data port the second
|
|
always writes the byte <literal>0x05</literal> to the control
|
|
port, then a value which always seems to
|
|
<literal>0x8f</literal> is read from the status port at which
|
|
point a byte <literal>0x04</literal> is written to the control
|
|
port. By studying this and other sections of the trace we can
|
|
write a C routine that emulates this, shown below with some
|
|
macros to make reading/writing on the parallel port easier to
|
|
read.

int loop, value;

w_dtr(udpp_base, command);
|
|
w_ctr(udpp_base, 0x05);
|
|
|
|
for (loop=0; loop < 10; loop++)
|
|
if ((value = r_str(udpp_base)) & 0x80)
|
|
{
|
|
w_ctr(udpp_base, 0x04);
|
|
return value & 0xf8;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return (value & 0xf8) | 0x01;
|
|
}
|

</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For the UMAX Astra 600P only seven such routines exist (well
|
|
14 really, seven for SPP and seven for EPP). Whether you
|
|
choose to disassemble the driver at this point to verify the
|
|
routines is your own choice. If you do, the address from the
|
|
trace should help in locating them in the disassembly.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You will probably then find it useful to write a script/perl/C
|
|
program to analyse the logfile and decode them futher as this
|
|
can reveal higher level grouping of the low level routines.
|
|
For example from the logs from my UMAX Astra 600P when decoded
|
|
further reveal (this is a small snippet)

From this it is easy to see that <varname>put</varname>
|
|
routine is often grouped together in five successive calls
|
|
sending information to the scanner. Once these are understood
|
|
it should be possible to process the logs further to show the
|
|
higher level routines in an easy to see format. Once the
|
|
highest level format that you can derive from this process is
|
|
understood, you then need to produce a series of scans varying
|
|
only one parameter between them, so you can discover how to
|
|
set the various parameters for the scanner.
