2*f11c7f63SJim Harris===============================================
3*f11c7f63SJim Harris
4*f11c7f63SJim HarrisThis driver has been developed for use with FreeBSD, version 9.0 and later.
5*f11c7f63SJim Harris
6*f11c7f63SJim HarrisThis driver uses an OS-agnostic abstraction layer library named SCIL that is
7*f11c7f63SJim Harrispublished by Intel specifically for the C600 SAS controller.  The SAS
8*f11c7f63SJim Harriscontroller has no firmware, so the driver is extensive and using SCIL
9*f11c7f63SJim Harrisminimizes the development and maintenance cost of the driver.
10*f11c7f63SJim Harris
11*f11c7f63SJim HarrisThe FreeBSD implementation files are in the isci directory, and SCIL files
12*f11c7f63SJim Harrisare in the isci/scil subdirectory.  As Intel publishes new versions of SCIL
13*f11c7f63SJim Harris(to add features or fix bugs), the isci/scil subdirectory will be updated
14*f11c7f63SJim Harrisappropriately.
