-----
|
|
This file describes the 'drivers/ide/mips/au1xxx-ide.c', related files and the

services they provide.

FILES, CONFIGS AND COMPATABILITY
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Two files are introduced:
|
|
|
|
a) 'arch/mips/include/asm/mach-au1x00/au1xxx_ide.h'
|
|
containes : struct _auide_hwif
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Following extra 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
|
|
controller
|
|
|
|
|
|
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_IDEDMA=y
|
|
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
|
|
|
|
Also define 'IDE_AU1XXX_BURSTMODE' in 'drivers/ide/mips/au1xxx-ide.c' to enable
|
|
the burst support on DBDMA controller.
|
|
|
|
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_IDEDMA=y
|
|
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
|
|
|
|
Also undefine 'IDE_AU1XXX_BURSTMODE' in 'drivers/ide/mips/au1xxx-ide.c' to
|
|
disable the burst support on DBDMA controller.
|
|
|
|
|

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