26.Dt CMDIDE 4
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm cmdide
30.Nd CMD Technology and Silicon Image IDE disk controllers driver
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Cd "cmdide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000"
33.Cd "options PCIIDE_CMD064x_DISABLE"
34.Cd "options PCIIDE_CMD0646U_ENABLEUDMA"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38driver supports the CMD Technology PCI0640, PCI0643, PCI0646, PCI0648, PCI0649,
39and Silicon Image 0680 IDE controllers, and provides the interface with the
40hardware for the
41.Xr ata 4
42driver.
43.Pp
44The 0x0002 flag forces the
45.Nm
46driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be
47enabled.
48This can be used as a debugging aid, or to work around
49problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

58.Sh BUGS
59There's no way to reliably know if a PCI064x controller is enabled or not.
60If the driver finds a PCI064x, it will assume it is enabled unless the
61PCIIDE_CMD064x_DISABLE option is specified in the kernel config file.
62This will be a problem only if the controller has been disabled in the BIOS
63and another controller has been installed and uses the ISA legacy I/O ports
64and interrupts.
65.Pp
66The PCI0646U controller is known to be buggy with Ultra-DMA transfers, so
67Ultra-DMA is disabled by default for this controller.
68To enable Ultra-DMA, use the PCIIDE_CMD0646U_ENABLEUDMA option.
69Ultra-DMA can eventually be disabled on a per-drive basis with config
70flags, see
71.Xr wd 4 .
72.Pp
73The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above
74are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz.
75This driver may not work properly on overclocked systems.
