64 
65 The Storage Controller Interface Core (SCIC) provides the underlying fundamental
66 hardware abstractions required to implement a standard SAS/SATA storage driver.
67 
68 The following is a list of features that may be found in a core implementation:
69 -# hardware interrupt handling
70 -# hardware event handling
71 -# hardware state machine handling
72 -# IO and task management state machine handling
73 -# Phy staggered spin up

75 @image latex sci_core.eps "SCI Core Class Diagram" width=16cm
76 
77 @note
78 For the SCU Driver Standard implementation of the SCI Core interface the
79 following definitions should be used to augment the cardinalities described
80 in the previous diagram:
81 -# There are exactly 4 scic_phy objects in the scic_controller.
82 -# There are exactly 4 scic_port objects in the scic_controller.
83 -# There can be a maximum of 4 scic_phy objects managed in a single scic_port.
84 -# The maximum number of supported controllers in a library is a truly flexible
85    value, but the likely maximum number is 4.
