Hello All,
I know promise hasn't been the most forthcoming company when releasing
specifications for their hardware. But it seems the first hardware
docs for
the promise SX4 (PDC20621) have been released:
http://gkernel.sourceforge.net/specs/promise/pdc20621-pguide-
dimm-1.6.pdf.bz2
http://gkernel.sourceforge.net/specs/promise/pdc20621-pguide-pll-
ata-timing-1.2.pdf.bz2
these documents dont specify how the hardware works. they dont
contain the register layouts and definitions, or the structures used
to talk to the chip, or the procedures used to init the chip or do io
against it. it looks like theyre specs on how the chip is supposed to
configure ram timings or something.
Shamefully I do not have the ability to write drivers, but I was
wondering
if the openbsd team knows about these specifications and if anyone is
working on implementing these drivers.
Thanks
Jason
