Morning all,
Using the Marvel Port Multiplier I am stuck trying to get it working
with some Hard drives.
Err.. just plug some drives into it, and then plug it (the PMP) into
a SATA controller that supports PMP (eg. the Marvell ones, newer AHCI,
some Sil ones, etc..).
What are you trying to do?
Hi Mark,
Its an embedded device whereby the one HDD I have does not work with the
Marvel PMP. I have the command to send to the PMP controller but I am
not an officianado with linux SATA(the code I have is from VxWorks) The
drive is confirmed working, but the PMP chip does not default to SATA
Generation 1, and this HDD is a bit dumb to figure it out :) - so I have
to force the PMP controller to Gen1 mode.
(I have tons of drives that work just fine, its just this ONE Maxtor
drive that is being a pain)
The short - I need to write a command to the SATA controller before this
HDD can be recognised.
Much appreciated,
Richard
