DEC Documentation Reference List
This list of DEC documentation and documentation references has been
compiled by me, Chris Demetriou. It describes documents that I've
found useful, or just found, while porting NetBSD to DEC's Alpha-based
workstations (see the NetBSD/alpha web pages for more information
about that port) and during other system hacking experiences. It is in
no way meant to be be complete, and may not even be useful to you.
However, I hope that it is. If you've additions, corrections, or
comments, please send them to me,
[email protected].
The documents that are provided here in machine-usable form are
undoubtedly copyright by Digital Equipment Corp., but I've been told
that I can do whatever I want with them, including give out copies to
the world. Note that many, if not all, of the documents presented here
in PostScript form can be found one one of DEC's WWW servers. I
provide them here for easy reference (because some of them are hard to
find there), and so that when DEC decides to stop distributing them
the public will still have access to them.
Organization
This document list is sorted by topic, and then by document order
number. Documents for which I don't have a order number appear at the
bottom of their sections, sorted alphabetically by title. Where
possible, other potentially useful information is included so that
people can find what they're looking for without having to download
the complete document set. Typically, descriptions are typed in
verbatim from the documents themselves. Some documents also include
revision information and my own comments.
For documents which are available on-line in this archive, file
information (such as file name, file size, and the last time the
document was modified in the archive) are also included where
possible. To download a document, select the file name link. A file's
name is a good indication of the type of its contents; gzipped text
files have names ending with .txt.gz, gzipped PostScript files have
names ending with .ps.gz, etc.
Where possible, I've tried to keep both current and older revisions of
documents on-line, so that users can more easily find changes in
specifications and bugs in the old manuals which have been causing
them problems. When a document is superseded by a newer version, there
is usually a comment in the document's revision information entry
pointing to the newer version.

Alpha Architecture and Software Documentation
General Architecture Information
Alpha AXP Architecture Handbook (Version 2)
DEC order number: EC-QD2KA-TE
File: ec-qd2ka-te.ps.gz
The on-line version of Alpha Architecture Reference Manual
(Second Edition). Does not OS-specific PALcode documentation or
console interface documentation.
Alpha Architecture Reference Manual (First Edition)
DEC order number: EY-L520E-DP
This is the authoritative reference on the new 64-bit RISC
architecture of Digital Equipment Corporation. Written by the
engineers who developed the Alpha specifications, this book
contains complete descriptions of the common architecture
required for all implementations and the interface required to
support the OSF/1 and OpenVMS operating systems.
Revision information: Superseded by Alpha AXP Architecture
Reference Manual (Second Edition).
My comments: Not very complete or accurate in some areas
(PALcode switching, interrupt and machine check handling). Good
(canonical) description of the instruction set.
Alpha Architecture Reference Manual (Second Edition)
DEC order number: EY-T132E-DP
This is the authoritative reference on the Alpha AXP 64-bit
RISC architecture of Digital Equipment Corporation. Written by
the engineers who developed the Alpha specifications, Alpha AXP
Architecture Reference Manual, Second Edition, contains a
complete description of the common architecture required of all
implementations and describes the interfaces to support the
OpenVMS, DEC OSF/1, and Windows NT Alpha operating systems.
Revision information: Supersedes Alpha Architecture Reference
Manual (First Edition).
My comments: Much more complete and accurate than the first
edition. A must-have for any low-level Alpha hacker.
Alpha AXP System Reference Manual
My comments: Apparently the holy grail to be sought after if
you want information about low-level Alpha hardware and
software. It's where all those things that are supposedly
"architected" are documented. I've never seen this manual, but
have heard claims of its existence. It's apparently under
non-disclosure (and is apparently numbered).
Calling Conventions and Binary Interfaces
DEC OSF/1 Assembly Language Programmer's Guide
DEC order number: AA-PS31B-TE
This manual describes the assembly language supported by the
DEC OSF/1 Alpha AXP compiler systems, its syntax rules, and how
to write some assembly programs.
DEC OSF/1 Calling Standard for AXP Systems
DEC order number: AA-PY8AB-TE
The DEC OSF/1 Calling Standard for AXP Systems defines the
requirements, mechanisms, and conventions used in the DEC OSF/1
interface that support procedure calls for DEC OSF/1 on AXP
systems.
PALcode
Answers to Common Questions about PALcode for Alpha AXP Systems
DEC order number: EC-N0647-72
File: ec-n0647-72.ps.gz
PALcode for Alpha AXP Microprocessors
DEC order number: EC-N0660-72

Library code (PALcode) to customize DECchip 21064, 21064A,
21066, and 21068 components to meet a variety of hardware and
software application needs.
My comments: Thin, but interesting. Details important-to-know
facts about handling machine-checks (using the MCES IPR), and
about switching PALcode.
PALcode for Alpha Microprocessors System Design Guide
DEC order number: EC-QFGLB-TE
File: ec-qfglb-te.ps.gz
This guide explains how to use the Privileged Architecture
Library code (PALcode) to customize Alpha 21064, 21064A, 21066,
21066A, 21068, and 21164 microprocessor components to meet a
variety of hardware and software application needs.
My comments: Looks like it might replace PALcode for Alpha AXP
Microprocessors (EC-N0660-72).
Alpha System Documentation
DEC 3000 Family
DEC 3000 300/400/500/600/700/800/900 AXP Models System Programmer's
Manual
DEC order number: EK-D3SYS-PM
File: ek-d3sys-pm.ps.gz
This manual describes the behavior of the DEC 3000 AXP
architecture as it pertains to writing system-level software,
such as operating systems and drivers.
This manual describes the behavior of the 300, 300L, 300X,
300LX, 400, 400S, 500, 500S, 500X, 600, 600S, 700, 800, 800S,
and 900 models.
Revision information: Updated March, 1994. Old revision didn't
include the 3000/700 and 3000/900 models; not important, as
they're apparently programatically the same as the 600 and 800
models, respectively.
My comments: This book tells the nitty gritty details about the
DEC 3000 family: what hardware the machines have, where and how
to talk to it, how the boot process works, what's in the PROMs,
and so on. Of course, some information is unclear, some is
missing, and there are bugs; life is tough for a system hacker.
Mandatory if you're going to be writing an OS for or porting an
OS to the DEC 3000 family.
DECpc AXP 150 (Jensen/KN121)
PB22H-KB System Module Hardware Reference Information
DEC order number: EK-A0638-TD
File: ek-a0638-td.pdf.gz

My comments: This manual covers the Alpha-based EISA-bus system
also known as the Jensen, DECpc AXP 150, DEC 2000/300, KN121,
and PB22H-KB. This manual appears to provide the essential
programming information for the DECpc AXP systems, including a
description of the on-board devices, I/O addresses, and
interrupt control system. A must-have if you're porting an OS
to or writing an OS for the DECpc AXP systems.

AlphaServer 8200/8400 System Technical Manual
DEC order number: EK-T8030-TM
File: ek-t8030-tm.ps.gz
The Digital AlphaServer 8200 and 8400 systems are designed
around the DECchip 21164 CPU. The TLSB is the system bus that
supports nine nodes in the 8400 system and five nodes in the
8200 system. The AlphaServer 8400 can be configured with up to
six single or dual processor CPU modules (KN7CC), seven memory
modules (MS7CC), and three I/O modules (KFTHA and KFTIA). One
slot is dedicated to I/O and is normally occupied by the
integrated I/O module (KFTIA) that supports PCI bus, XMI, and
Futurebus+ adapters. All other nodes can be interchangeably
configured for CPU or memory modules. The AlphaServer 8200 can
be configured with up to three CPU modules, three memory
modules, and three I/O modules.
Revision information: This document is supplemented by
AlphaServer 8200/8400 System Technical Manual Supplement:
Memory (EK-MS7CC-TS) and AlphaServer 8200/8400 System Technical
Manual Supplement: CPU (EK-T8030-TS).
