Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

Brad or anyone in the know:

When is sata going to be implemented in linux for the L138? The linux roadmap on wiki doesn't talk about the sata interface. 

Thanks,

    It is already supported on OMAPL138 platform right from the bringup release.  Pl. refer to the user guide and data sheets for more information.

    Assuming you are using a hard disk, plug it in along with power to the drive and watch the console messages when it boots.  Drive should be identified and appear in the console messages.  Once you log in you'll have to mount the drive.  I did try a compact flash sata drive but it was not recognized.  Use a standard hard disk for initial testing and should work fine.  If you don't see the kernel message during boot you'll have to check and see if it is included in the kernel build.  I've rebuilt my kernel numerous times and can't remember if it came enable or had to enable and rebuild.

    One other thing forgot is prior to mounting you'll have to partition the drive.  Just google it and there are lot's of how-to's using fdisk.
