Dear E2E:
Thank you for your help.
I need to use SATA interface on OMAP-L138.
The SATA FLASH (CFAST) card will be on the same PCB with OMAP-L138.
Due to the usage of another resources (SPI, UARTs) the SATA interface signals:
1. SATA_MP_SWITCH - SATA mechanical presence switch input
2. SATA_CP_DET - SATA cold presence detect input
3. SATA_CP_POD - SATA cold presence power-on output
4. SATA_LED - SATA LED control output
These four SATA interface signals are not available for SATA interface in my current design.
1. Will SATA interface function correctly without these four signals?
2. The DS page147 (SPRS586D) Figure 5-30 shows SATA interface Schematic without all four above signals.
3. What "cold SATA" means?
Thank you for your help,
Boris Ruvinsky
