This directory contains an implementation of a simple AHCI driver.
|
|
|
|
Behavior
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The server implements Genode's new block-driver API ('os/include/block'), thus
|
|
exposing the block-session interface as front-end. AHCI depends on Genode's PCI
|
|
driver as well as the timer server. For a usage example see: 'os/run/ahci.run'.
|
|
|
|
Limitations and known issues
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Currently, the server scans the PCI bus at startup and retrieves the first available
|
|
AHCI controller, scans the controller ports and uses the first non-ATAPI port
|
|
where a device is present.
|
|
|
|
On real hardware and on kernels taking advantage of I/O APICs (namely NOVA and
|
|
Fiasco.OC) we still lack support for ACPI parsing and thus for interrupts,
|
|
leading to a non-working driver.
