[[RFC] 12/14] Add a low level disk drive access driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a low level disk drive communication driver. It uses the real mode
BIOS found on most x86 platforms, to read and write sectors. Used by the
generic disk driver.

+ * @file

+ *
+ * This communication driver does all accesses to the boot medium via 16 bit
+ * real mode calls into the standard BIOS. Due to this method, its possible
+ * to use all the medias to boot from that are supported by the BIOS. This
+ * also includes emulated only medias.
+ *
+ * To be able to call the real mode BIOS, this driver must switch back to
+ * real mode for each access. This will slow down the access a little bit, but
+ * we are a boot loader here, not an operating system...
+ *
+ * Note: We need scratch memory for the BIOS communication, because the BIOS
+ * can only handle memory below 0xA0000. So we must copy all data between
+ * the flat mode buffers and realmode buffers.
+ *
+ * Note: This driver makes no sense on other architectures than x86.
+ *
+ * Note: This driver does only support LBA addressing. Currently no CHS!

+ * @todo Make it work
