independent code, and is a 78prerequisite for the other modules. 79The next three lines are generic bus-specific drivers. 80Of the rest, ataahci is the AHCI driver. 81The others are vendor-specific PCI drivers. 82The 83.Dv ATA_CAM 84option should always remain in the kernel configuration, to make 85the driver work as a 86.Xr CAM 4 87subsystem module. 88.Pp 89The following tunables are settable from the 90.Xr loader 8 : 91.Bl -ohang 92.It Va hw.ahci.force 93set to nonzero value for forcing drivers to attach to some known AHCI-capable 94chips even if they are configured for legacy IDE emulation (the default is 1, 95force the attach). 96.It Va hw.ata.ata_dma_check_80pin 97set to 0 to disable the 80pin cable check (the default is 1, check the cable). 98.It Va hint.atapci.X.msi 99set to 1 to allow Message Signalled Interrupts (MSI) to be used by the 100specified PCI ATA controller, if supported. 101.It Va hint.ata.X.devX.mode 102limits the initial ATA mode for the specified device on specified the channel. 103.It Va hint.ata.X.mode 104limits the initial ATA mode for every device on the specified channel. 105.It Va hint.ata.X.pm_level 106controls SATA interface Power Management for the specified channel, 107allowing some power savings at the cost of additional command latency. 108Possible values: 109.Pp 110.Bl -tag -width 4n -offset indent -compact 111.It 0 112Interface Power Management is disabled. 113This is the default value. 114.It 1 115The device is allowed to initiate a PM state change; the host is passive. 116.It 2 117The host initiates a PARTIAL PM state transition every time a port becomes idle. 118.It 3 119host initiates SLUMBER PM state transition every time port becomes idle. 120.El 121.Pp 122Modes 2 and 3 are only supported for AHCI. 123.El 124.Sh DESCRIPTION 125The 126.Nm 127driver gives the 128.Xr CAM 4 129subsystem access to the ATA (IDE) and SATA ports 130of many generic controllers. 131Depending on the controller, each PATA (IDE) 132port or each one or two SATA ports are 133represented to CAM as a separate bus with one or two targets. 134Most of the bus-management details are handled by the ATA/SATA-specific 135transport of CAM. 136Connected ATA disks are handled by the ATA protocol disk peripheral driver 137.Xr ada 4 . 138ATAPI devices are handled by the SCSI protocol peripheral drivers 139.Xr cd 4 , 140.Xr da 4 , 141.Xr sa 4 , 142etc. 143.Pp 144This driver supports ATA, and for the most of controllers, ATAPI devices. 145Command queuing and SATA port multipliers are not supported. 146Device hot-plug and SATA interface power management is supported only on 147some controllers. 148.Pp 149The 150.Nm 151driver can change the transfer mode when the system is up and running. 152See the 153.Cm negotiate 154subcommand of 155.Xr camcontrol 8 . 156.Pp 157The 158.Nm 159driver sets the maximum transfer mode supported by the hardware as default. 160However, the 161.Nm 162driver sometimes warns: 163.Dq Sy "DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device". 164This means that 165the 166.Nm 167driver has detected that the required 80 conductor cable is not present 168or could not be detected properly, 169or that one of the devices on the channel only accepts up 170to UDMA2/ATA33. 171The 172.Va hw.ata.ata_dma_check_80pin 173tunable can be set to 0 to disable this check. 174.Sh HARDWARE 175The

supported in PIO modes, and if the standard 240busmaster DMA registers are present and contain valid setup, DMA is 241also enabled, although the max mode is limited to UDMA33, as it is 242not known what the chipset can do and how to program it. 243.Sh NOTES 244Please remember that in order to use UDMA4/ATA66 and above modes you 245.Em must 246use 80 conductor cables. 247Please assure that ribbon cables are no longer than 45cm. 248In case of rounded ATA cables, the length depends on the 249quality of the cables. 250SATA cables can be up to 1m long according to the specification. 251External SATA cables can be 2m long and more, but not all controllers 252work well on long cables, especially at high speeds. 253.Sh SEE ALSO 254.Xr ada 4 , 255.Xr ahci 4 , 256.Xr cam 4 , 257.Xr camcontrol 8 ,
