Ports for SATA programming

[sebihepp]

Hello,

I have read the article about PATA/SATA and PATAPI/SATAPI and successfully implemented a routine
that opens the tray of a cdrom drive, after detecting all drives. It works on Bochs and on an machine
with an old IDE-Port.

Now I want to access SATA/SATAPI drives, because all my other PCs have only SATA-Ports. Even the
one with one IDE-Port has SATA-HDs and uses the IDE for a cdrom drive.

I read the source of ATADRVR from http://www.ata-atapi.com and from the wiki. But I don't get it to
work. First I check PCI, but only on one computer I find an ATA-Controller. And there I find a SATAPI
Device, but everytime I send IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE my system waits for BSY to Clear and loops
infinitly. And If I press Open on the drive, nothing happens. It seems that the drive never finishes that
Command.
Next I try to access standard IDE ports and then the alternate IDE ports. On all PCs with only SATA I
find nothing. Only the PC with the IDE port shows his PATAPI device correctly. So neither on PCI nor
on ports I find devices.

The BIOS on all computers is set to configure all PCI devices during boot.

I will post code later, if necessary. I don't think it helps if I post just a bunch of uncommented code.

best regards

You usually communicate with SATA drives through AHCI if the system isn't in IDE compatibility mode (a BIOS setting, usually). The AHCI specification is free from Intel, and you can purchase the SATA specification.

Failing that there is a SATA.HTM file in ATADRVR.

Thanks for the idea with AHCI. I checked it, but every pc was set to IDE mode.
That is my code for detecting an ATAPI drive and then open the tray.
Before calling this routine, I search through PCI and set IDE0 to IDE3 to the corresponding ports.
If I found no PCI device I set them to 0x1F0, 0x3F4, ...
inb and outb have a delay integrated (read 4 times from port 0xED).
Interrupts are working and IRQ0E is a routine, wich increments IDECounter by one.
I think I said everything, but just ask if I forgot to mention something.

On my main computer I get following output:

Code: Select all

IDE: Channel 0x0000EC00, Master, 0x0000E880
IDE: No Device found!
IDE: Channel 0x0000EC00, Slave, 0x0000E880
IDE: No Device found!
IDE: Channel 0x0000E800, Master, 0x0000E480

Then the entire machine hangs and the cdrom drive rotates but doesn't open the tray even if I push
the button on the drive. I think BSY never get cleared and the drive hang.

I think I buy a PCI card with 2 UDMA Controllers and Ports and a cheap 80GByte IDE harddisk
for my testing pc. Only need the money. =)

What a pity, the pc where it works is destroyed. =(
But I found out that I have to set SATA-Mode to "Compability" instead of "Enhanced".

On the main pc with cd-drive on IDE port and harddisks on SATA ports I got a step forward.
So, here are the specs:
Main pc - cd-drive on IDE port, harddisks on SATA port 1 and 4
Second pc - cd-drive on SATA port 6, harddisk on SATA port 1
That is my routine printing:
Main pc - IDE Controller found on PCI, IDE Controller(PCI) device 1,2 and 4 = No Device device 3 = Not Ready
----Primary IDE(Ports 0x170,...) device 1 = Error, device 2, 3 and 4 = No Device
----Secondary IDE device 1, 2, 3 and 4 = No Device
Second pc - Nothing found on PCI,
----Primary IDE(Ports 0x170,...) device 1 = Error, device 2, 3 and 4 = No Device
----Secondary IDE device 1, 2, 3 and 4 = No Device

Why is the cd-drive on main pc(PATAPI) not ready? Here is my current piece of code:

Code: Select all

Oh, and I upload an iso-file.
if you burn this on cd you can boot my kernel from there. Would be nice if some of you could
test too and let me know what results you are having. Also on the cd there is the complete source.

http://www.gatewayheaven.com/~sebihepp/heidelberg.iso

[sebihepp]

Okay, I debugged many times the last days and I think I found the problem.
First of all, I have to ignore Device Ready (DRDY) by ATAPI devices, because they doesn't
inplement this bit correctly, to avoid the BIOS detecting them as ATA device.

After sending the Identify packed device command, I wait for about 0.1 sec.

Code: Select all

  //Sending Identify Packet Device command
  outb(Port+7, 0xA1);
  Start = TimerCounter;
// On the line below it loops forever
  while (TimerCounter < (Start+2));

TimerCounter is increased by ISR 0. Therefore I think after sending the command the device sends
me an interrupt wich I don't handle correctly. I don't know what to do, because I think everything I do
is right.

ISR 2 does only an iret.
ISR 10, 11, 14 and 15 only increase IDECounter and sends an EOI to the Slave and then to the Master PIC.
Interrupts are enabled and unmasked only the ones I use.
I have checked that the pci-device has assigned 11 as IRQ.
Anyone any idea?

Code: Select all

// On the line below it loops forever
  while (TimerCounter < (Start+2));

Is TimerCounter marked as volatile?

[sebihepp]

Yes, it is.
And TimerCounter works untill I send the command.

This Problem only occur on my pc, where the IDE-Controller appears as PCI device.
On the other computer (wich is broken now) it works without any problems. And every
other has SATA devices wich my routine doesn't detect.

[sebihepp]

Okay, I found my mistake in the ISRs. Now ISR 2 send EOI only to Master PIC and all ISRs > 7 only to Slave PIC.

But now I get the next problem.
In the old sourcecode got no interrupt after sending the packet.
In my new version I get an Exception 06 - undefined opcode at 0x08:0x023???
But this happens only on my main pc. In Bochs everything works fine.

Code: Select all

	IDECounter = 0;
	//Enable Interrupts
	outb(Port2+2, 0x00);
	//Eject Media
	outb(Port+7, 0xA0);
	//Wait for BSY == 0
	Timeout = false;
	Start = TimerCounter;
	while (inb(Port+7) & 0x80)
	{
		if (TimerCounter > Start+20)
		{
			Timeout = true;
			break;
		}
	}
	//Check for Errors
	if ((inb(Port+7) & 0x01) || (inb(Port+7) & 0x20) ||
		(Timeout))
	{
		Video.Print((char*)"IDE: PACKET Error\n");
		return;
	}
	//Send Command Words
	outw(Port, 0x001B);
	outw(Port, 0x0000);
	outw(Port, 0x0002);
	outw(Port, 0x0000);
	outw(Port, 0x0000);
	outw(Port, 0x0000);

	Video.Print((char*)"IDE: PACKET Sent!\n");

	//Wait for BSY == 0
	Timeout = false;
	Start = TimerCounter;
	while (inb(Port+7) & 0x80)
	{
		if (TimerCounter > Start+20)
		{
			Timeout = true;
			break;
		}
	}
	//Check for Errors
	if ((inb(Port+7) & 0x01) || (inb(Port+7) & 0x20) ||
		(Timeout))
	{
		Video.Print((char*)"IDE: Eject Media Error\n");
		return;
	}

	//Done
	Video.Print((char*)"IDE: Eject Media Done\n");
}

I would be very happy if anyone could test my programm and let me know, if it works or which errors
appears. The link is at one post above. And here is an floppy image
http://www.gatewayheaven.com/~sebihepp/ ... floppy.img

[sebihepp]

Huh, if I use a cd it works. But if I use a floppy, I got the Exception 6 - undefined opcode???

[sebihepp]

That is strange.
First I thought the floppy is broken. I used a new floppy and... it doesn't work. Then I tried the cd again... It doesn't work.

I tried many times, and that is what I found out:
I never recieve an interrupt from IDE. Neither on cd nor on floppy.
On floppy 7 of 10 times I get an Exception 6 - undefined opcode and 3 of 10 times I get an error of the drive
(Error Bit is set or Busy isn't clear after at least 5 sec)
On cd 1 of 3 times it works. another 1 of 3 times I get an error of the device (see above) and the last 1 of 3 times
I get an Exception 6 - undefined opcode

I go to bed soon. I really don't know, what causes that strange behaviour.
Can it be, that it has to do with the missing chars I get in bochs sometimes?
I posted that in an other thread. Sometimes in Bochs it look like either a char is not drawn or
the cursor position (in my video class a integer wich holds the current position) isn't increased.

Bye and good night
