Joseph and Mark

 

If you are unable to transfer more than 1 sector in PIO (I thought this type of host was obsolete) then you would need to issue to separate SMART READ/WRITE LOG E1 to accomplish the task.  I believe that the new READ/WRITE LOG DMA EXT will solve most of these problems…

Ahh. DRQ, not IRQ.

 

Now I understand what you are after.

 

And yes, many AHCI hosts do not support multiple DRQ block for PIO. I agree with Joseph on this.

Mark,

 

This should be single DRQ option described in the AHCI 1.0 specification. When bit 15 of the CAP register equal to 0, the host transfer one DRQ block. Please refer to the AHCI spec for details.

 

Regards,

Joseph

I'm probably missing something subtle Joseph - hosts don't transfer IRQ at all. What do you mean by that statement?

 

Thanks!

In the SCT Data Transfer Section, it indicates the transfer can be concatenated with multiple E1h Read/Write Log commands. In the case of Long Sector Access command, can the host request with two E1h command, with one sector for each command. (The Long Sector Access command should return/receive 2 sectors of data.)

 

Note:

Some host can only transfer single IRQ for Read Log PIO data transfer.

Joseph
