Sounds interesting. :-)
Could you give some more details on what are you going to implement?
Reading/writing service area, uploading, downloading modules, working
with flash etc.
SAT (aka ATA passthru) defines how to do soft-reset.
SG_IO supports the ATA_12 and ATA_16 commands which permit soft-reset
and similar tasks. libata supports this interface, but does not yet
support soft-reset and similar non-comment-oriented tasks. This would
be the best area to add such features, though.
