*Project Proposal: SATA AHCI HBA driver enhancement*
This project is aiming at supporting more ahci-compliant chipsets and
adding more features to ahci driver.
The webpage of AHCI project for opensolaris is at:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/device_drivers/projects/AHCI/
*A Short Description
-------------------
*AHCI specification is defined by INTEL and describes the
register-level interface implementation for a Host Controller to
conform to Serial ATA 1.0 and Serial ATA II. The specification
includes a description of the hardware/software interface between
system software and the host controller hardware.
At the moment, the first phase of ahci driver has been putback into
nevada build 56, and it supports INTEL ICH6 and VIA VT8251 controller.
Currently, Solaris ahci driver conforms to AHCI 1.0 specification and
supports PIO and DMA protocols, Hot Plug, cfgadm, 64-bit addressing,
Intel ICH6 and VIA vt8251 chipsets.
*Goal
----
*The project is planning to support the following features in the future.
* Supporting more AHCI compatible chipsets
* ATAPI
* Port Multiplier
* MSI Interrupt
* Power Management
* NCQ
Welcome to join the project, and welcome all kinds of comments and
suggestions.
Thanks in advance...
Regards
Fir Qin
