This directory contains a port of the MINDRVR PATA/SATA driver (See:
[http://ata-atapi.com].
The driver will probe the system's IDE bus and will use the first ATAPI device
present.
Usage
-----
Simply start the 'atapi_drv' in your Genode environment. The front-end
implemented by the driver is Genode's block interface (see:
'os/include/block_session').
Configuration example:
! <start name="atapi_drv">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="1M" />
! <provides><service name="Block" /></provides>
! </start>
To use the driver as IDE block driver supporting both read and write
transactions, supply the XML attribute 'ata="yes"' to the config node of
'atapi_drv'.
