Port-N Serial ATA Status – R – 32 bits [Mem_reg: ABAR + port offset + 28h]

Field Name

Bits

Default

Description

Interface Power
Management (IPM)

11:8 0h

Indicates the current interface state:

0h

Device not present or communication not

established

1h

Interface in active state

2h

Interface in Partial power management state

6h

Interface in Slumber power management state

All other values reserved. Read Only

Port-N Serial ATA Control – RW – 32 bits [Mem_reg: ABAR + port offset + 2Ch]

Field Name

Bits

Default

Description

Device Detection
Initialization (DET)

3:0 0h

Controls the HBA’s device detection and interface
initialization.

0h

No device detection or initialization action
requested

1h

Perform interface communication initialization
sequence to establish communication. This is
functionally equivalent to a hard reset and results
in the interface being reset and communications
reinitialized. While this field is 1h, COMRESET is
transmitted on the interface. Software should
leave the DET field set to 1h for a minimum of 1
millisecond to ensure that a COMRESET is sent
on the interface.

4h

Disable the Serial ATA interface and put Phy in
offline mode.

All other values reserved

This field may only be modified when P0CMD.ST is ‘0’.
Changing this field while the P0CMD.ST bit is set to ‘1’
results in undefined behavior. When P0CMD.ST is set to ‘1’,
this field should have a value of 0h.
Note: It is permissible to implement any of the Serial ATA
defined behaviors for transmission of COMRESET when
DET=1h.

Speed Allowed (SPD)

7:4

0h

Indicates the highest allowable speed of the interface.

0h

No speed negotiation restrictions

1h

Limit speed negotiation to Generation 1

communication rate

2h

Limit speed negotiation to a rate not greater than

Generation 2 communication rate

All other values reserved
