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?

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.

8 B+ k2 o: A6 N6 E7 cDriver Overview: Linux kernels have two ATA ("IDE") driver sets:

6 [) N6 C% _+ I# _% \; u"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.

; X5 e" \8 Q$ nOptionally, 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):

' k! V# r& `# |2 W2 `( G" E/ B/ EFor 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.

7 h. j' l- C( d6 E( aFor 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/

I'm pretty sure manufacturers' proprietary drivers, where available, are designed to fit the above framework.

; u0 N( ^1 L/ z* o"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。

5 G+ O% \8 X1 R1 K! j. _/ X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
Linux的源碼就有很可供參考,不管是legacy IDE或是掛在SCSI下的libata
+ L8 P0 L" x: G( D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。
