DM816x Linux SATA User Guide

Hi TommyG,

Please check if this helps http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI_SATA_FAQ 

This document has sections on building and testing SATA driver.

Mansoor,

This looks promising.  I like that you give an introduction to the technology along with discussion on TI's implementation.  I'd like to see a little more on the driver architecture.  Could this be added in the future?

How long before the article leaves Under Construction and is released to the public?  Also, will the wiki article be referenced from the SDK?  Users are used to finding documentation in the SDK, so might not think to look in Wiki for some of the User Guides.

Thanks.

Hi TommyG,

We do not have plans of adding information on ATA/AHCI framework as this is a Linux framework and not a custom work. Some of the links which might have some information on the framework are,

https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page 

http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html 

We will make sure our next releases will have the SATA FAQ pdfs in the release package. Also, we will remove the disclaimer after some internal review.

Mansoor,

Thanks for the explanation and pointers.  I'm still learning Linux and TI's SDKs, so don't know yet which drivers we touch and which we just use.

Regards.

Hi TommyG,

We will look into this and see what could be provided in the guide.

Regards

Mansoor
