Serial ATA
The Silicon Image 3512 host controller allows for 2x Serial ATA 1.0 compliant
interfaces. This device is under the control of the DSP and FPGA and requires
special application software (such as SMT 6087). Details of the functionality of the
host controller can be found in SiI3512 PCI to Serial ATA Controller
Datasheet ,
which can be obtained from Silicon Image with an NDA.
Connection to Serial ATA devices requires that the daughter module be installed on
the SMT387. Placement of connectors on the daughter module conforms to the
Serial ATA Specification 1.0
.
