.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm geodeide
|
|
.Nd AMD Geode IDE disk controllers driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "geodeide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the
|
|
.Tn AMD
|
|
Geode CS5530A and SC1100
|
|
.Tn IDE
|
|
controllers,
|
|
and provides the interface with the hardware for the
|
|
.Xr ata 4
|
|
driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The 0x0002 flag forces the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver to disable
|
|
.Tn DMA
|
|
on chipsets for which
|
|
.Tn DMA
|
|
would normally be enabled.
|
|
This can be used as a debugging aid, or to work around
|
|
problems where the
|
|
.Tn IDE
|
|
controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The SC1100 controller requires 4-byte aligned data transfers and
|
|
cannot handle transfers of exactly 64 kilobytes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The CS5530 multifunction chip/core's
|
|
.Tn IDE
|
|
section claims to be capable of
|
|
.Tn UDMA
|
|
mode 2
|
|
.Pq 33.3MB/s
|
|
but in practice using that mode swamps the controller so badly that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
limits the
|
|
.Tn UDMA
|
|
negotiation to mode 1
|
|
.Pq 25MB/s
|
|
so that the other functions of this chip continue to work.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn IDE DMA
|
|
engine in the CS5530 can only do transfers on cache-line
|
|
.Pq 16-byte
|
|
boundaries.
|
|
Attempts to perform
|
|
.Tn DMA
|
|
on any other alignment will crash the system.
|
|
This problem may also exist in the SC1100 since the CS5530 was its
|
|
direct predecessor, and it is not clear that National Semiconductor
|
|
fixed any bugs in it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver will reject attempts to
|
|
.Tn DMA
|
|
to buffers not aligned to the required boundary.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr wd 4
|
|
disk driver will back off to
|
|
.Tn PIO
|
|
mode to accomplish these transfer requests, at reduced system performance.
