2f11c7f63SJim Harris===============================================
3f11c7f63SJim Harris
4f11c7f63SJim HarrisThis driver has been developed for use with FreeBSD, version 9.0 and later.
5f11c7f63SJim Harris
6f11c7f63SJim HarrisThis driver uses an OS-agnostic abstraction layer library named SCIL that is
7f11c7f63SJim Harrispublished by Intel specifically for the C600 SAS controller.  The SAS
8f11c7f63SJim Harriscontroller has no firmware, so the driver is extensive and using SCIL
9f11c7f63SJim Harrisminimizes the development and maintenance cost of the driver.
10f11c7f63SJim Harris
11f11c7f63SJim HarrisThe FreeBSD implementation files are in the isci directory, and SCIL files
12f11c7f63SJim Harrisare in the isci/scil subdirectory.  As Intel publishes new versions of SCIL
13f11c7f63SJim Harris(to add features or fix bugs), the isci/scil subdirectory will be updated
14f11c7f63SJim Harrisappropriately.
