- converted to platform bus
- removed pci dependencies
- removed virt_to_phys/phys_to_virt calls

ABOUT
|
||||
-----
|
||||
This file describes the 'drivers/ide/mips/au1xxx-ide.c', related files and the
|
||||
services they provide.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are short in patience and just want to know how to add your hard disc to
|
||||
the white or black list, go to the 'ADD NEW HARD DISC TO WHITE OR BLACK LIST'
|
||||
section.

FILES, CONFIGS AND COMPATABILITY
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Two files are introduced:
|
||||
|
||||
a) 'include/asm-mips/mach-au1x00/au1xxx_ide.h'
|
||||
containes : struct _auide_hwif
|
||||
struct drive_list_entry dma_white_list
|
||||
struct drive_list_entry dma_black_list
|
||||
timing parameters for PIO mode 0/1/2/3/4
|
||||
timing parameters for MWDMA 0/1/2
|
||||
|
||||
b) 'drivers/ide/mips/au1xxx-ide.c'
|
||||
contains the functionality of the AU1XXX IDE driver
|
||||
|
||||
Four configs variables are introduced:
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_PIO_DBDMA - enable the PIO+DBDMA mode
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_MDMA2_DBDMA - enable the MWDMA mode
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_BURSTABLE_ON - set Burstable FIFO in DBDMA
|
||||
controler
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_SEQTS_PER_RQ - maximum transfer size
|
||||
per descriptor
|
||||
|
||||
If MWDMA is enabled and the connected hard disc is not on the white list, the
|
||||
kernel switches to a "safe mwdma mode" at boot time. In this mode the IDE
|
||||
performance is substantial slower then in full speed mwdma. In this case
|
||||
please add your hard disc to the white list (follow instruction from 'ADD NEW
|
||||
HARD DISC TO WHITE OR BLACK LIST' section).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SUPPORTED IDE MODES
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The AU1XXX IDE driver supported all PIO modes - PIO mode 0/1/2/3/4 - and all
|
||||
MWDMA modes - MWDMA 0/1/2 -. There is no support for SWDMA and UDMA mode.
|
||||
|
||||
To change the PIO mode use the program hdparm with option -p, e.g.
|
||||
'hdparm -p0 [device]' for PIO mode 0. To enable the MWDMA mode use the option
|
||||
-X, e.g. 'hdparm -X32 [device]' for MWDMA mode 0.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
PERFORMANCE CONFIGURATIONS
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If the used system doesn't need USB support enable the following kernel configs:
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_IDE=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
|
||||
CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
|
||||
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_MDMA2_DBDMA=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_BURSTABLE_ON=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_SEQTS_PER_RQ=128
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
|
||||
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
|
||||
|
||||
If the used system need the USB support enable the following kernel configs for
|
||||
high IDE to USB throughput.
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
|
||||
CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
|
||||
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_MDMA2_DBDMA=y
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_SEQTS_PER_RQ=128
|
||||
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
|
||||
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ADD NEW HARD DISC TO WHITE OR BLACK LIST
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Step 1 : detect the model name of your hard disc
|
||||
|
||||
a) connect your hard disc to the AU1XXX
|
||||
|
||||
b) boot your kernel and get the hard disc model.
|
||||
|
||||
Example boot log:
|
||||
|
||||
--snipped--
|
||||
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
|
||||
ide: Assuming 50MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
|
||||
Au1xxx IDE(builtin) configured for MWDMA2
|
||||
Probing IDE interface ide0...
|
||||
hda: Maxtor 6E040L0, ATA DISK drive
|
||||
ide0 at 0xac800000-0xac800007,0xac8001c0 on irq 64
|
||||
hda: max request size: 64KiB
|
||||
hda: 80293248 sectors (41110 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, (U)DMA
|
||||
--snipped--
|
||||
|
||||
In this example 'Maxtor 6E040L0'.
|
||||
|
||||
Step 2 : edit 'include/asm-mips/mach-au1x00/au1xxx_ide.h'
|
||||
|
||||
Add your hard disc to the dma_white_list or dma_black_list structur.
|
||||
|
||||
Step 3 : Recompile the kernel
|
||||
|
||||
Enable MWDMA support in the kernel configuration. Recompile the kernel and
|
||||
reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
Step 4 : Tests
|
||||
|
||||
If you have add a hard disc to the white list, please run some stress tests
|
||||
for verification.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
These drivers wouldn't have been done without the base of kernel 2.4.x AU1XXX
|
||||
IDE driver from AMD.
