|
|
|
|
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.

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