Then find the registers for that device using the PCI configuration area for that device. This time instead of blindly trusting tutorials/wikis/articles I'd wanted to deeply understand what exactly each piece of code does to abstract it in a more pleasant way. Looking at the Haiku source code for this FIS, its an array of size 8 of type uint8_t. The Place to Start for Operating System Developers. I was struggling with my AHCI Driver, I made it work on QEMU and VBOX But on my 2 computers, the Port (COM)Reset is stuck on PORT_CONNECT_STATUS_CHANGE Interrupt and no D2H Is sent.

Anyway: do you realize that the AHCI (and in general all devices) expect physical addresses? If need to probably allocate buffers and DMA structures in physical memory and pass their physical addresses to the device. The disc driver for AHCI actually don't need to map buffers to linear memory, rather works better with physical addresses only. Either the device asks for one vector, and then that vector would handle all ports, or the device asks for multiple vectors, and if those can be allocated, there will be one vector per port. (I'm pretty sure the memory you allocate for AHCI The native mode for many SATA controllers isn't AHCI, it can be proprietary or an extension of PCI IDE in "native" PCI mode (.

For the x86 architecture this register corresponds to the PIC IRQ numbers 0-15 (and not I/O APIC IRQ numbers) and a value of 0xFF defines no connection. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I recently helped someone on Stackoverflow regarding computing a physical address from a virtual kernel address in Limine.

The command is processed but the drive, or the HBA (not sure yet), moves just 212 bytes and the PxTFD register for this port shows a status of 0x58. Skip to content. AHCI is a good subject to find a place in the wiki, but for ReactOS purposes I think you should write a driver off the specifications alone, and learn to not rely AHCI si an API for SATA controllers, EHCI is a type of USB 2. That surely doesn't have to be OS dependent. Set both command list & fis receive to a valid Hi, colleagues.

This is only a fraction of the problem though, the biggest problem is the fact that most SATA controllers run are set to The AHCI specification emphasizes that an AHCI controller (referred to as host bus adapter, or HBA) is designed to be a data movement engine between system memory and SATA devices. I tried with -cdrom and many other flags but the ahci driver doesn't find the atapi device. The majority of SATA controllers also support AHCI, which offers connecting more devices than PATA allows, and significant other advantages over the legacy protocol.

There's probably still something wrong somewhere, but I've looked through your code a AHCI does not support more than 0x2000 bytes per DRQ block, and may not support multiple DRQ blocks per command, so you should use DMA transfers if your drive supports them.

When attempting to implement AHCI I am getting hung up with one problem or another. ↳ OSDev Wiki; ↳ About this site; I don´t really know how to find, I´m trying so much combinations. I also already checked the linux source but it wont help either For some reason when I go into AHCI mode by setting AE all the status flags are 0 and when using ACPI I cant shut down the PC anymore iansjack wrote:I'm a little surprised that you have mastered the complexities of setting up paging in the x86 architecture but can't manage a relatively simple concept like accessing the PCI device registers. So I'd like to know if someone could explain me how to send the IDENTIFY command to the SATA disk and read the any body knows how to debug ahci controller, is there any debugger avaliable for that? i have trouble with my ahci controller dirver, based on the serial ata spec pubblished by intel, my driver work fine on my hp ich6 chipset and virtualbox, but it is weird on my asus laptop which uses intel ich9m chipset, the ahci reset command always timeout. So that you don't have to read in the data to a temp buffer, then transfer it to the linear virtual buffer--a process that would take a big hit on performance--you simply calculate The AHCI doc are speaking of FIS everywhere, but I can't find what are those, how to build them. AE. I actually successfully read the data from AHCI controller and caused a interrupt That physical address can then be used as the physical address for AHCI (ie: the physical addresses for PxFB and PxFBU registers). bits 4 and 6 ("command-specific") are set too: I'm not sure where to look up the meanings of those. Now I want to implement SCSI, hence I need an ATAPI device. Combuster wrote:You only posted a read-from-PCI function without defining proper arguments, typed it "WORD" (which implies 16 bits which is either a bug or really bad terminology, and also devitates from standards-prescribed stdint. 0 is not freely available. It at least doesn't hang, though the way I do reading is a bit weird and I'm definitely going to see about reworking that sometime. Then use those registers to send On the wiki, there's a checklist of things you need to do to initialize an AHCI controller and use it to read or write data. ci keeps 1, sig keeps 0x101, is and serr keep 0, sstr keeps 0x113 and tfd keeps 0x50. 3), without Port Multiplier support. Rust also has no volatile keyword, and rusts ptr constructions can get rather nasty-looking. I also already checked the linux source but it wont help either For some reason when I go into AHCI mode by setting AE all the status flags are 0 and when using ACPI I cant shut down the PC anymore Setting to 0 should set IDE mode, 40h AHCI mode and 80h RAID mode (which is not supported by the -M version of the chipset). I tested to run this driver on real hardware since i know that it doesn't corrupt anything, and i noticed that the hard drive activity LED is starts active when the driver trying to read the sector and never go off The ATA specifications define a few classes of commands, including PIO commands and DMA commands. mariuszp Member Posts: 587 Joined: Sat Oct 16, 2010 3:38 pm. What is the exact combination of flags needed to make an atapi device pop out in the ahci interface using qemu? Hi, colleagues. Only supporting AHCI would be a horrendous compatibly problem. i have tried this, and got BAR[5] value=0xfeaf000, while trying to read the contents of this value i have alwas got 0vffffffff. Once in IDE mode, you should then be able to set legacy/native modes by bits 0 and 2 (for the primary and secondary channels respectively) of byte-sized register 09h. After write command (ATA_CMD_WRITE_DMA_EX = 0x35), any next command (read or write) does not complete (PxCI not reset to LyricalRain wrote:I have a functioning AHCI driver with read and write functions. Do proper PCI device I try to use AHCI to visit my sata disk in my os. 4) defines this FIS as: OSDev. My hardisk abar register value is 0xc1617000. AHCI is a good subject to find a place in the wiki, but for ReactOS purposes I think you should write a driver off the specifications alone, and learn to not rely Bonfra Member Posts: 270 Joined: Wed Feb 19, 2020 1:08 pm Libera. AHCI (Advance Host Controller Interface) is developed by Intel to facilitate handling SATA devices. 1 wrote:the previous register content of PxCI should not be re-written. AHCI controller sends an IRQ each time it sees that a port interrupt status (PxIS) bit is set while HBA port IRQ status (IS. (for every offset i have tried) This also is advantageous with most modern disc-hardware, like AHCI that is based on physical memory in the schedules and not linear. From OSDev Wiki. So I'm rewriting my AHCI driver in a more readable way. Since UEFI performs some initialization of SATA drives, I would have hoped that it would reserve the appropriate memory regions. Everything Else. Hello everyone I would like to try to send the identify(0xEC) command to the AHCI controller of my SATA Hard Disk, so I armed myself with documentation and Hello, I have 3 questions about how the BIOS configures AHCI controllers: 1. jaxp uwbnuv bnuzs fwt zlrj lmeix ldle kyqzg tudl oxggv
