[U-Boot-Users] Boot direct on SATA drive
Hi all, Does anyone has successfuly boot directly on a SATA drive with U-Boot ? I'm planning to used bootdisk (ide command) and adapt cmd_ide.c with ATA layer to SATA drive. Do you think that is the right way ?
Best regards,
Sebastien D.

Depends on the SATA disk controller. I've booted a SII3112 directly using the ATA driver sice that chip happens to have a IDE (PATA) compatability layer. Newer controllers use AHCI standard for the interface, and needs a completely different driver. I ended up just booting the kernel image from FLASH instead....
