Hi,
I am wondering if the VIA Serial ATA chipset found with the VIA KT600
chipset is yet supported. An lspci -v reveals:
00:0f.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device
3149 (rev 80)
Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3149
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
I/O ports at 8800 [size=8]
I/O ports at 8400 [size=4]
I/O ports at 8000 [size=8]
I/O ports at 7800 [size=4]
I/O ports at 7400 [size=16]
I/O ports at 7000 [size=256]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2

I realized that I had neglected to get the proper SATA power cable, so I just got one and I plugged in my new SATA drive. There is no indication in my dmesg of any SATA chipset or any connected SATA drives. I have the "Generic IDE chipsets" option enabled, along with the PDC2026XX IDE card and the VIA82CXXX chipset. -- Misha Nasledov misha@nasledov.com http://nasledov.com/misha/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Well, the patch was meant to be a quick shot from the hips only, just to get your system going and to check if my assumptions about the structure of the VIA SATA host controller implementation wer correct. It looks like they are, this controller seems to follow the T13 ATA host controller model. >Are there any plans on the horizon for a more complete driver for this >chipset? Jeff Garzik is working on a SATA driver. My conclusions from the results of the feasability test above are that adding the VIA SATA controller to the already existing libata source should boil down to pretty simple programming excercise.

It was. The sata_via.c driver is absolutely generic except for its PCI ID. I only chose to create a separate driver because I now have docs (thanks, VIA), so I can begin programming the SATA-specific registers. So, here are the 2.4 and 2.6 versions of the VIA SATA support for libata, contained in the latest libata update. 2.4 BK: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/jgarzik/atascsi-2.4 2.4 Patch: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/2.4/2.4.23-pre1-libata3.patch.bz2 2.6 BK: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/jgarzik/atascsi-2.6 2.6 Patch: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/2.6/2.6.0-test4-bk2-libata3.patch.bz2 Changes: * add VIA SATA driver * fixes to software reset. * other fixes * split scsi-related code into separate file, libata-scsi.c. * continue work on phy layer * continue work towards fully async taskfile API: you call submit_tf(), and later on, your callback is called when the taskfile completes or times out. async taskfile API is required for ATAPI and supporting more advanced host controllers like Promise or AHCI (SATA2). * some cleanups [-- Attachment #2: patch.srst --] [-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1029 bytes --] ===== drivers/scsi/ata_piix.c 1.22 vs edited ===== --- 1.22/drivers/scsi/ata_piix.c Thu Aug 28 22:07:27 2003 +++ edited/drivers/scsi/ata_piix.c Fri Aug 29 00:51:44 2003 @@ -137,7 +137,7 @@ /* ich5_pata */ { .sht = &piix_sht, - .host_flags = ATA_FLAG_SLAVE_POSS, + .host_flags = ATA_FLAG_SLAVE_POSS | ATA_FLAG_SRST, .pio_mask = 0x03, /* pio3-4 */ .udma_mask = ATA_UDMA_MASK_40C, /* FIXME: cbl det */ .host_info = &piix_pata_ops, @@ -146,7 +146,8 @@ /* ich5_sata */ { .sht = &piix_sht, - .host_flags = ATA_FLAG_SATA | PIIX_FLAG_COMBINED, + .host_flags = ATA_FLAG_SATA | PIIX_FLAG_COMBINED + | ATA_FLAG_SRST, .pio_mask = 0x03, /* pio3-4 */ .udma_mask = 0x7f, /* udma0-6 ; FIXME */ .host_info = &piix_sata_ops, @@ -155,7 +156,7 @@ /* piix4_pata */ { .sht = &piix_sht, - .host_flags = ATA_FLAG_SLAVE_POSS, + .host_flags = ATA_FLAG_SLAVE_POSS | ATA_FLAG_SRST, .pio_mask = 0x03, /* pio3-4 */ .udma_mask = ATA_UDMA_MASK_40C, /* FIXME: cbl det */ .host_info = &piix_pata_ops, ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

I'm just asking because I've got this dual amd64 with 4 Promise sata ports. Which for some reason there aren't drivers any 64 bit OS;-( PS- The driver works great on the silcon image chipset. (Once I realized that my Seagate drive needed newer firmware.) -- Once you have their hardware. Never give it back.

I think that's only your ata-scsi work, however. -- Once you have their hardware. Never give it back.
