proting IDE driver for uclinux/linux

tommywgt

我在Xilinx FPGA(EDK8.2)引用了MicroBlaze 32 bits RISC CPU, 可以RUN uclinux, 現在我又設計了一個非標準的IDE, 我自己寫個程式去R/W HD, 400G的也沒問題, 我也寫了一個FAT32 file system透過FAT32的LIB我所做的檔案操作, 使得HD接到WINDOWS也可以RUN的很正常. 但是問題來了, 這些自己寫的HD LIB無法跟uclinux KERNEL結合, 以致於無法直接跟系統資源結合, 也無法在VFS內mount這個device?

5 I6 m1 L/ W- }5 y0 t8 g2 T有人能夠清楚的詳列在LINUX下porting IDE driver的步驟嗎?

這一段是說明如何用ata driver改成sata, 照道理來講就是改drivers/ide這一段的code就對了.
有人能再補充更多的嗎?

: g1 d7 D( I- n' H# Y
"drivers/ide": This is the traditional ATA driver set, maintained by Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz (before that, Andre Hedrick). Contrary to popular belief, it includes low-level drivers for many common SATA chipsets.

For 2.4 kernels, Linux's software-RAID (fakeraid) driver collection is called "ataraid", which has subdrivers for the various manufacturers' different software RAID schemes. Using ataraid results in your partitions being addressed using a /dev/ataraid/d0p1 (etc.) device-naming convention. Note: Support greatly improved circa-2.4.23.

For 2.6 kernels, Linux's software-RAID (fakeraid) driver collection is called "dmraid" (Device Mapper RAID). So far (Sept 2004), Promise Fasttrack, HighPoint 37X, Intel ICH5/6, LSI, and SiI 3112A/Medley are supported: http://tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/~gerte/gen2dmraid/

"libata": This is the newer ATA driver set for selected SATA chipsets only, maintained by Jeff Garzik, leveraging the kernel's well-tested SCSI layer. Garzik developed it in the 2.6 kernel series. 2.4 support was available only with a backported patch until libata's inclusion in 2.4.27 and later.

libata causes each SATA port appear as a new SCSI bus. There are individual low-level drivers for the individual SATA chipsets, e.g., ahci, ata_adma, ata_piix, sata_nv, sata_promise, sata_sil, sata_sx4, sata_svw, sata_via, sata_vsc.

另外這有二個很重要的網站

我想你的問題是如何寫 Uclinux ide/ATA 的 driver.

我隻能幫妳頂一下，非常抱歉，幫不暸忙哦

因為你是用uCLinux，所以我首先會問你有沒有將MMU的設定關掉，在我記憶中uCLinux是不支援MMU的。

其次，你是用ATAPI或是SCSI的driver layer去寫這個driver的。建議Driver path最好還是使用SCSI會比較好，其實底層都類似，只不過SCSI再上層多做了一層，轉了一層SCSI command，也補強之前ATAPI的部分不足。

除了看書之外,最實際的方法就是參考别家的Source code
$ O7 ?, {- b. t6 o( ?. D* j; L' d: sLinux的源碼就有很可供參考,不管是legacy IDE或是掛在SCSI下的libata
8 R6 n: ~' A5 A6 i3 a/ E$ N+ P看個2~3隻driver,你就會清楚ATA的interface需要哪些structure及private function point.
而且Lnux本身就支援許多Filesystem,除非你是要hack filesystem,否則只要porting driver就夠了。
