1FreeBSD Driver for Intel(R) C600 SAS Controller
2===============================================
3
4This driver has been developed for use with FreeBSD, version 9.0 and later.
5
6This driver uses an OS-agnostic abstraction layer library named SCIL that is
7published by Intel specifically for the C600 SAS controller.  The SAS
8controller has no firmware, so the driver is extensive and using SCIL
9minimizes the development and maintenance cost of the driver.
10
11The FreeBSD implementation files are in the isci directory, and SCIL files
12are in the isci/scil subdirectory.  As Intel publishes new versions of SCIL
13(to add features or fix bugs), the isci/scil subdirectory will be updated
14appropriately.
