I wonder if it's similar to this in any way: http://www.marvell.com/products/storage/storage_system_solutions/sata_controllers_pc_consumer/6_gbs_sata_raid_controller_88se91xx_product_brief.pdf
This is the SATA 6Gbps chip on my new motherboard. Marvell 88SE9128. It has a full arm CPU on it for handling the raid features. The whitepaper claims that you can get a full embedded sdk with a Linux open source driver for it. It also says that it is a "sheeva" arm cpu on it--so the same variant as found on their sheeva plugs I'm guessing. Perhaps that is a good starting point to investigate. Oh, and btw, there seem to be gentoo support for the sheeva stuff. I don't know about openwrt, but they may support sheeva as a build target as well. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
