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?

# G: ?6 m3 v/ q% J8 J( o& W7 J$ c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.

Driver Overview: Linux kernels have two ATA ("IDE") driver sets:

5 @' |( K% Q+ m% K' F: C"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.
% u0 a5 g; S  V- m5 q
Optionally, on top of drivers/ide block-device (generic mass storage access) drivers, one can load drivers to provide software-level suport for BIOS services enabling various types of manufacturer-specific software RAID (called "fakeraid", below):

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.

9 z& N1 }1 u1 M1 s0 Q8 q"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.

另外這有二個很重要的網站

我在design HD controller時就是根據這二個網站資料的

我想你的問題是如何寫 Uclinux ide/ATA 的 driver.
6 a* Y+ U. [) x( c0 j6 v5 x可以參考O'Reilly "Linux Device Drivers" book.

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。

6 A" y/ H9 @9 r, E5 Z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。

給你參考，希望對你有所幫助。

除了看書之外,最實際的方法就是參考别家的Source code
% Q' p. a  c. |! u( Z; s/ `) i5 eLinux的源碼就有很可供參考,不管是legacy IDE或是掛在SCSI下的libata
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。
