Re: Broadcom ServerWorks HT-1000 support in OpenBSD

It seems like OpenBSD 3.9 has support for the HT-1000 IDE/SATA chipset, and we are still missing it. Is there any way to port their code over? There are a few nice motherboards out there that use this chipset (most amd server boards use the crappy nvidia chipset and the accompanying crappy network card).

I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 on boards with HT1000 chipset, both ATA and SATA works as well under FreeBSD as it does under OpenBSD. Neither of them supports anything else than IDE mode for SATA.

Hardware has arrived here and I'm working on support as time permits, watch -current for the commit when I'm done...

Are you working on supporting the MMIO mode for SATA? (the one used by Linux - which does not support IDE mode!) There is also a really nice RAID mode (for a non HW-raid solution!) that depends on a binary blob from Broadcom available only for Linux/Windows.
