Re: [9fans] sdkw - SATA drive detection broken (was ARM and u-boot)

[erik quanstrom]

this is fun.  i wrote this driver a long time ago.  but all the little
quirks (even of the documentation) come back quickly.  i put
the kernel i'm running up on 9atom  you can download them
@
	http://ftp.9atom.org/other/9plug
	http://ftp.9atom.org/other/s9plug
or
	9fs atom; fcp /n/atom/ftp/*9plug /some/where

please try that kernel and let me know.  since the driver
does hotplugging, it might be after you've connected to the file
server that you get a connection.

also try unplugging the usb devices.  the host bridge error is
omnious.  often a host bridge error will screw up multiple devices.

here's the results i get

you mention that the first thing you do is this

	d->reg[Sctl] = 3*Aipm | 0*Aspd | Adet; (I’m omitting | 3*Aspm as it done in NetBSD, though the results are bad even with it).

this doesn't jive with the sata spec (the ahci spec, which for the S registers
mirrors it, is more accessible).  it may be beneficial to read the spec.
the actions that need to be done are
	1.  clear the Serror register (sdkw:1228)
	2.  set the Icfg register (sdkw:1229)
		(the setting of emphasis was a guess and could be wrong for
		your device.  it may also vary by device.)
	3.  reset the phy.  this is a 3 step process in linkrst()
		a) turn on device detection
		b) wait 1ms  (unsure of this timing,  it could be longer)
		c) turn off device detection

3*Aspm requests transition to active state.  if you get bad results
by turning the device on, then something else is wrong.  :-)

in fact you mention that Sctl = 300, which means that the device
is asleep. (Iactive|Isleepy if you follow pc/ahci.h)

you must clear the error register first.

i don't think that's it.

Are these ones differ from those built from source after unrolling of 9atom.iso.bz2?
Sry, but i’m a total Plan 9 noob and can’t set a working file+auth server. Any guides i was followed were either misleading or wrong at some step.
Anyway, since i’m never getting Spresent bit in Sstatus (no matter how much time passed after the boot), status change will not ever come.

Have them unplugged all the time.
BTW, anyone plans to work on USB flash storage support, so we can just use some USB drives to boot from?

So it may be a culprit?

You’re absolutely right, but i’m in the same situation (status = 0) even with the whole init routine, which your driver does.

I will check it.

Not my case. Already tried to bump this delay.

Ok… I will trace everything when using proper initialization, but i doubt it will clear anything, since i was not followed SATA spec, and did just a device probe, and while this didn’t work on Plan 9, it worked on NetBSD.
Maybe it that host bridge issue?

[9fans] sdkw - SATA drive detection broken (was ARM and u-boot)

[Alex Ivanov]

> well, good luck.  there's a sata driver in 9atom. 

> - erik 

Hi, Eric et al.

Thanks for the driver! :) I however have problem using it.

My device is a HP t5325 which is almost the same as any other 88F6281 *plug:

"Plan 9 from Bell Labs

l1 D: 16384 bytes, 4 ways 128 sets 32 bytes/line; write-through only
l1 I: 16384 bytes, 4 ways 128 sets 32 bytes/line; write-back type `reg 7 ops, format C' (016) possible
l2 cache: 256K or 512K: 4 ways, 32-byte lines, write-back, sdram only
cpu0: 1200MHz ARM Marvell 88F6281 A1; arm926ej-s arch v5te rev 2.1 part 131

504M memory: 52M kernel data, 452M user, 1959M swap
root is from (tcp)[tcp]: filesystem IP address[no default]:"

There is an internal SATA flash drive connected to a 1st port of Marvell SATAHC and while NetBSD, for example, is able to recognize it:

"mvsata0 at mvsoc0 unit 0 offset 0x80000-0x87fff irq 21: Marvell Serial-ATA Host Controller (SATAHC)
mvsata0: GenIIe, 1hc, 2port/hc

wd0: <SM224>
wd0: 463 MB, 942 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 949536 sectors»

Plan 9 isn’t (as you see from it's kmesg).

I’ve did an initial debug and found that SATA device detection never works. To compare this with NetBSD, i’ve added a code with identical meaning to an early stages (prior of doing of anything else; i’ve snarf pasted even register bits for sure) of both Plan 9 and NetBSD drivers (sdkw.c and mvsata_mv.c accordingly) and here are the results. I’m including info about port 1 only, as port 2 has no devices.

Busaddrs going the same on both systems:
Port_addr 0xf1082000
SStatus_addr 0xf1082300
SErr_addr 0xf1082304
Sctl_addr 0xf1082308

As well as initial state of registers:
1)
Sctl 0x00000004
SErr: 0x04000000

SStatus: 0x00000004
det: PHY offline
ipm: no device connected

Next doing hard reset:
d->reg[Sctl] = 3*Aipm | 0*Aspd | Adet; (I’m omitting | 3*Aspm as it done in NetBSD, though the results are bad even with it).

2)
Sctl: 0x00000301
SErr: 0x04000000

SStatus: 0x00000000
det: no device present
ipm: no device connected

Device detection should work after this:
d->reg[Sctl] = 3*Aipm | 0*Aspd | 0*Adet;

And here is the wreck:

3)
Sctl: 0x00000300

NetBSD:
SErr: 0x14010000

SStatus: 0x00000123
det: device present, speed: 3.0Gb/s
ipm: ACTIVE state

Plan 9:
SErr: 0x04000000

SStatus: 0x00000000
det: no device present
ipm: no device connected

Not changed at all… WTF?

Another case where IPM is active (occurs from time to time) is even stranger:
1)
Sctl 0x00000004
SErr: 0x04000000

SStatus: 0x00000104
det: PHY offline
ipm: ACTIVE state

2)
Sctl: 0x00000301

NetBSD:
Err: 0x14000000

SStatus: 0x00000100
det: no device present
ipm: ACTIVE state

Plan 9:
SErr: 0x04000000

SStatus: 0x00000101
det: device connected, but communication not established
ipm: ACTIVE state

3)
Sctl: 0x00000300

NetBSD:
SErr: 0x14010000

SStatus: 0x00000123
det: device present, speed: 3.0Gb/s
ipm: ACTIVE state

Plan 9:
SErr: 0x04000000

SStatus: 0x00000101
det: device connected, but communication not established
ipm: ACTIVE state

So, any ideas?
What i’ve already tried:
1) Put the code in another place of Plan 9, like USB driver. Results are the same;
2) Put delays and coherence() here and there. Doesn’t help, though i doubt it’s a sync issue;
3) If i fool sdkw to make it think it found the device, i’m getting an error from upper the stack, like it can’t speak with device or so… So i twice doubt it’s a sync issue, and it’s more likely SATA controller doesn’t work by some reason.

Sigh :(
Maybe NetBSD SoC driver code does some init, which Plan 9 doesn’t?

Thanks for any help!

Steve,

There is no special port to this single device. There is a port to the
Marvell Kirkwood SoCs in Plan 9 main code tree:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/plan9/sys/src/9/kw/ which
covers 88f6281 used in this hardware.
I've just followed Guruplug guide to run Plan 9 on that HP device:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/guruplug/index.html

P.S.: There is also a port of Inferno:
https://code.google.com/p/inferno-kirkwood/

Re: [9fans] sdkw - SATA drive detection broken (was ARM and u-boot)

[Steve Simon]

I suspose I was thinking of audio, video, and SATA drivers rather than a new kernel.

Does the SoC include the video device?

I would like to have full support for this device too, but it's
an unpopular one, so there is a little chance that it will have
a full port of anything besides the Linux anytime. It's better
to go with Plan 9 @ Raspberry Pi now and in near future.

There is no audio driver for Kirkwook, but it shall be written
universal for all devices. t5325 doesn't need any special
handling, except the audio ports layout and an alc5621
codec driver.

SoC doesn't include the video device. Instead, a rare PC card
XGI VOLARI Z11 is plugged into PCI-E port. The platform
knows nothing about it, so it must be POSTed by a driver,
which is an odd hassle.

There are SATA drivers in 9atom (sdkw) and Inferno (devsata).
Though, none of them work on my device, but this only
because something blocks SATAHC from proper functioning.

>

Well, the kmesg i've posted should give you an initial info.
I have no possibility to test the stuff until i get local boot
or will set a network/auth server for proper network boot.
Ethernet works. USB controller got recognized. That's all.

thanks for the info, i have a pi and audio for that is further up my list,
but i have just bought a t5325 on ebay so i will have a go at that
some time in the future - just one more for the todo list...

Erik,

I can't take root from the net, but that's my fault.
How can i do USB boot? I thought that USB mass storage
devices aren't supported:

i've set up several machines to boot from usb, and the installer
that i've been working on boots from usb.  i can't tell you how
to set up u-boot, but if you'll be using partitions, usbd and either
partfs or sdloop needs to be built into the kernel.  since i use
sdloop, i don't think i can give you good directions.  but basically,
you want to set up nobootprompt=path-to-usb-storage in plan9.ini.

Please make an announce on it, when you'll finish :)

Sorry, but as i've already said, i'm a Plan 9 newbie.
All the Plan 9 @ Kirkwood tutorials i've found assist only on
netboot methods. Maybe someone could add USB boot part?
Here for example:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/guruplug/index.html

> i can't tell you how to set up u-boot

No need, thanks, i know how.

> but if you'll be using partitions, usbd and either

Usbd and partfs are enabled in standard Plan 9 "plug" kernel, so
should be no problem there.
I have a USB flash drive with written Plan 9 "rpi" image over there,
thought an OS doesn't show any signs that it was recognized.
