7. IDE Controller¶

7.1. IDE Controller Overview¶

This specification defines the core code and services that are required for an implementation of the IDE Controller Initialization Protocol of the UEFI Platform Initialization Specification. This protocol isa driver entity such as a driver entity to program an IDE controller and to obtain IDE device timing information. This protocol abstracts the nonstandard parts of an IDE controller. This protocol is not tied to any specific bus.

This specification does the following:

Describes the basic components of the IDE Controller Initialization Protocol
Provides code definitions for the IDE Controller Initialization Protocol and other IDE-controller-related type definitions that are architecturally required

7.2. Design Discussion¶

7.2.1. IDE Controller Initialization Protocol Overview¶

This section discusses the IDE Controller Initialization Protocol. This protocol is used by a driver entity to program an IDE controller and to obtain IDE device timing information. This protocol abstracts the nonstandard parts of IDE controller. This protocol is mandatory on platforms with IDE controllers that are managed by a driver entity.

See IDE Controller Initialization Protocol in Code Definitions for the definition of EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL .

7.2.1.1. IDE Controller Terms¶

The following terms are used throughout this document.

AHCI

Advanced Host Controller Interface.

ATAPI

AT Attachment Packet Interface

enumeration group

The set of IDE devices that must be enumerated as a group. In other words, if device A and device B belong to an enumeration group and device A needs to be configured, device B must be configured at the same time and vice versa. There are two possible enumeration groupings for an IDE controller:

“All the devices on a channel. In this case, the number of enumeration groups is equal to the number of channels.
“All the devices on all the channels behind an IDE controller. This enumeration grouping may arise because multiple channels share some hardware registers or have some other dependencies. In this case, the number of enumeration groups is 1.

The IDE controller indicates the type of enumeration group that is applicable. In case 2, the driver entity must enumerate all the devices on all the channels if there is a request to configure a single device. In case 1, the driver entity must enumerate all the devices on the same channel if there is a request to configure a single device. Case 1 will lead to faster boot.

IDE controller

The hardware device that produces one or more IDE buses (channels). Each channel can host one or more IDE devices.

PATA

Parallel ATA.

PATA controller

An IDE controller that supports PATA devices. Traditionally, a PATA controller supports up to two channels: primary and secondary. Each channel traditionally supports up to two devices: master and slave.

SATA

Serial ATA.

SATA controller

An IDE controller that supports the SATA driver. SATA controllers can emulate PATA behavior. The behavior of command and control block registers, PIO and DMA data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated. In addition, SATA controllers can implement a more modern register interface, namely AHCI. AHCI allows the host software to overcome the limitations that are imposed by PATA emulation and to use advanced SATA features.

Some chipsets contain both PATA and SATA controllers and support a combined mode. In combined mode, the two controllers are logically merged into one controller. The PATA drives can appear behind the SATA controller to the host software. In such a mode, all the PATA rules in terms of IDE timing configuration apply to SATA controllers.

7.2.3. Background¶

7.2.3.1. IDE Requirements¶

The IDE Controller Initialization Protocol is designed to work for both Parallel ATA (PATA) and Serial ATA (SATA) IDE controllers.

This protocol is designed with the following requirements in mind:

The timing registers in a PATA IDE controller are vendor specific. (See ATA Host Adapter Standards , Working Draft Version 0f, for more information.) The programming of these registers needs to be abstracted from the driver entity.
The IDE Controller Initialization Protocol should also support a case where a specific channel is disabled and/or it should not be scanned. This protocol also needs a mechanism to address individual devices in various SATA and PATA configurations. This protocol needs to support the following:
“A variable number of channels per controller
“A variable number of devices per channel

7.2.3.1.1. PATA Controllers¶

PATA controllers support up to two channels and each channel can have a maximum of two devices.

7.2.3.1.2. SATA Contollers¶

SATA controllers can support standard ATA emulation. As described in the Serial ATA Specification 1.0a , ATA emulation can either be master-only emulation or master-slave emulation. In either case, the SATA controller appears to have one or two channels. In master-only emulation, a maximum of one drive appears on a channel. In master-slave emulation, one or two drives can show up behind a channel.

When an SATA controller is operating in Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode, it can support up to 32 ports. The SATA port that is generated by an SATA controller can host an SATA port multiplier. There can be up to 16 SATA devices on the other side of the SATA port multiplier.

In this geometry, each SATA port that is generated by the SATA controller is treated as a channel, and this channel can have up to 16 devices. This is done so that PATA drives as well as SATA drives can be represented using a ( Channel , Device ) address pair. Note that the SATA channels work very differently from PATA channels in the sense that the SATA channels do not have the concept of master/slave or daisy chaining.

See Figure 2 1 and Figure 2 2 below for explanations how the devices are addressed.

7.2.3.1.3. Bus Neutral¶

It should be possible to use the same abstractions to support an IDE controller on the PCI bus or some other bus. The IDE controller driver will know which controller devices it can support. Because the majority of IDE controllers that exist today are located on the PCI bus, all the examples will refer to PCI IDE controllers, but the protocol is not tied to the PCI bus.

7.2.3.2. PCI IDE controller¶

PCI IDE controllers can operate in native PCI mode or compatibility mode. The IDE Controller Initialization Protocol should permit both modes.

The design should use the EFI Driver Model to support the quick boot feature. The smallest unit of initialization is one channel. By default, the driver entity initializes only the channel on which the user-requested drive resides. The IDE Controller Initialization Protocol should support the case where various channels share the same hardware bits and cannot be independently enumerated. The controller driver can specify that all the channels should be enumerated as one unit.

The IDE Controller Initialization Protocol must support SATA controllers that may or may not implement AHCI register interface.

7.2.4. Simplifying the Design of IDE Drivers¶

The IDE bus is not a general-purpose bus. The standard ATA and ATAPI command sets support only a storage class of devices. The following design decisions can be made to simplify the IDE Controller Initialization Protocol and the design of IDE drivers:

“The driver entity is the only driver that will send commands to the ATA devices. No device-specific drivers are needed for IDE devices because all the devices belong to the same class (i.e., storage) and the driver entity can have inherent knowledge of these commands. IDE bus equivalents of EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL and EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL for accessing IDE devices are not required. It is possible to further simplify the design of the driver entity if it does not have to deal with the ATAPI devices. It can enumerate the ATA and ATAPI devices and install the EFI_SCSI_PASSTHRU_PROTOCOL on ATAPI device handles. Either way, IDE-bus-specific I/O protocols are not needed. See the UEFI Specification for the definitions of the EFI PCI I/O Protocol, PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol, and the SCSI Pass Thru Protocol.
“IDE devices are accessed and configured through a set of standard registers in the IDE controller. The ATA committee is standardizing the layout of these registers. (See ATA Host Adapter Standards , Working Draft Version 0f, for more information.) For Serial ATA (SATA) controllers, the Serial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) Specification defines a standard register interface. Although the layout is dependent on the bus on which the controller is located, the layout for a particular bus is fixed. As a result, the driver entity can be required to know about the register layout for buses that it chooses to support. For example, for a PCI IDE controller, the IDE driver can access the base of the command block register for channel 0 using the following steps:

Check bit 0 of register 0x9 (Programming Interface Code) in the PCI configuration space of the controller to determine whether it is operating in compatibility mode or native PCI mode. For this example, we will assume that the controller is operating in native mode.

Read register 0x10 (Base Address Register [BAR] 0) of the controller. Clear bit 0 of the value that was read to get the command block base

7.2.5. Configuring Devices on the IDE Bus¶

The table below lists the various drivers that may participate in configuring the devices on the IDE bus.

Table 7.27 Drivers Involved in Configuring IDE Devices¶
Driver	Follows the EFI Driver Model	Description
IDE controller driver	Yes	Produces the EFI_IDE_CONTR OLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL Consumes the bus specific I O protocol EFI_IDE_CONT ROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL abstracts the chipset specific IDE controller registers and is responsible for early initialization of the IDE controller Note that EFI_IDE_CONT ROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL is not tied to a specific bus although most IDE controllers today are on the PCI or ISA bus
Driver entity	Yes	Consumes the EFI_IDE_CONT ROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL and the bus specific I O protocol It enumerates the IDE buses This driver will check for the presence of the EFI_IDE_CONT ROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL on the controller handle before enumerating the child devices This driver uses the presence of the EFI_IDE_CONT ROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL to determine whether a controller is an IDE controller or not This driver will use bus specific methods to access the standard ATA registers such as the control block command block and bus master DMA registers for a particular device The driver not only knows the address of a specific register block but it also knows the layout of that register block This driver may produce the EFI_SC SI_PASSTHRU_PROTOCOL for ATAPI devices or it may directly manage the ATAPI devices by producing the EF I_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL This driver produces the E FI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL for ATA devices
Generic SCSI or ATAPI storage driver	Yes	This optional driver manages the ATAPI device using the EFI_SC SI_PASSTHRU_PROTOCOL and produces the E FI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL if requested
Driver entity and IDE controller driver combined as one driver	Yes	It is also possible to combine the driver entity and the IDE controller driver into one driver In this case EFI_IDE_CONTR OLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL is not installed on the IDE controller handle The monolithic driver is responsible for initializing the IDE controller as well as the IDE devices behind that controller EFI_IDE_CONTR OLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL is mandatory if the IDE devices behind the controller are to be enumerated by the generic driver entity

See the UEFI Specification for the definitions of the Block I/O Protocol and the SCSI Pass Thru Protocol. The IDE Controller Initialization Protocol is defined in Code Definitions of this specification.

7.2.6. Sample Implementation for a Simple PCI IDEController¶

This topic provides a sample implementation only. The sequencing of various notifications cannot be changed. The steps below apply if EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.EnumAll = FALSE.

See the UEFI Specification for definitions of the Driver Binding Protocol, EFI PCI I/O Protocol, Device Path Protocol, and Block I/O Protocol. See Code Definitions in this specification for the definition of the IDE Controller Initialization Protocol.

The IDE controller driver as well as the driver entity follow the EFI Driver Model. They are loaded and both install (at least) one instance of the EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL on their image handle. An ATA hard drive behind a PCI IDE controller is one of the boot devices.
The PCI bus driver enumerates the PCI bus, finds the PCI IDE controller, creates a handle for it, and installs an instance of EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL and EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL on that handle.
The Boot Device Selection (BDS) phase searches for an appropriate driver to own the IDE controller device and finds the IDE controller driver. It then connects the IDE controller device and the IDE controller driver. The IDE controller driver opens the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL BY_DRIVER . It may perform some other preprogramming at this point.
BDS searches for a driver to own the IDE device and finds the driver entity. The driver entity’s Supported() function checks for the presence of EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL on the parent of the IDE device (i.e., the IDE controller).
The EFI Boot Services function ConnectController() calls the Start() function of the driver entity, which starts the IDE bus enumeration. The following steps are performed by the Start() function.
- The driver entity locates the EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL . It opens the EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL BY_DRIVER . If it needs to open EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL , it may open it by GET_PROTOCOL . The driver entity reads the EnumAll and ChannelCount fields in EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL. In this case, EnumAll is FALSE . The driver entity also obtains the channel number from Start().RemainingDevicePath .
- The driver entity calls EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.NotifyPhase ( This , EfiIdeBeforeChannelEnumeration , Channel ).
- The driver entity calls EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.GetChannelInfo ( This , Channel , *Enabled , *MaxDevices ) to find out the number of devices on this channel. If *Enabled = FALSE, it exits with an error code. If the device number of the device to be connected is too large, it exits with an error code.
- The driver entity calls*EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.NotifyPhase* ( This ,*EfiIdeBeforeChannelReset* , Channel ).
- The driver entity resets the channel.
- The driver entity calls EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.NotifyPhase ( This , EfiIdeAfterChannelReset , Channel ).
- The driver entity calls EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.NotifyPhase ( This , EfiIdeBeforeDevicePresenceDetection , Channel ). The IDE controller driver may insert a predelay here or may ensure that various IDE bus signals are at desired levels.
- The driver entity attempts to detect devices on the channel. Note than there can be no more than MaxDevices on the channel.
- The driver entity calls EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.NotifyPhase ( This , EfiIdeAfterDevicePresenceDetection , Channel ).
- The driver entity calls EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.NotifyPhase ( This , EfiIdeResetMode , Channel ). The IDE controller sets up the controller with the default timings.
For all the devices on this channel:
- The driver entity gathers EFI_IDENTIFY_DATA for the device and submits it to the IDE controller driver using EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.SubmitData() . Submit NULL data for devices that do not exist.
- The driver entity may call EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.DisqualifyMode() to disqualify modes that it does not support.
For all the detected devices on this channel:
- Call EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.CalculateMode() to get the optimum mode settings. The IDE controller driver uses controller-specific algorithms and platform information to calculate the best modes.
- The driver entity enables the appropriate modes by sending an ATA SET_FEATURES command to the device. It the device returns an error, it disqualifies that mode for that device and goes back to step 7. This time step 7 (first bullet) will not consider the failed mode. The implementation then returns here to step 7 (second bullet) with new (less optimum) modes.
For all the detected devices on this channel, call EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.SetTiming() to program the timings. Note that we reset the mode settings in step 5(last bullet), so the settings for nonexistent devices will remain at their default levels.
The driver entity calls EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.NotifyPhase ( This , EfiIdeAfterChannelEnumeration , Channel ).
Install EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL on that device handle.

SubmitData: Submits the Drive Identify data that was returned by the device. See the SubmitData() function description.
DisqualifyMode: Submits information about modes that should be disqualified. The specified IDE device does not support these modes and these modes should not be returned by CalculateMode . See the DisqualifyMode() function description.
CalculateMode: Calculates and returns the optimum mode for a particular IDE device. See the CalculateMode() function description.
SetTiming: Programs the IDE controller hardware to the default timing or per the modes that were returned by the last call to CalculateMode( ). See the SetTiming() function description.
EnumAll: Set to TRUE if the enumeration group includes all the channels that are produced by this controller. FALSE if an enumeration group consists of only one channel.
ChannelCount: The number of channels that are produced by this controller. Parallel ATA (PATA) controllers can support up to two channels. Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) Serial ATA (SATA) controllers can support up to 32 channels, each of which can have up to one device. In the presence of a multiplier, each channel can have 15 devices.

Description

The EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL provides the chipset-specific information to the driver entity. This protocol is mandatory for IDE controllers if the IDE devices behind the controller are to be enumerated by a driver entity.

There can only be one instance of EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL for each IDE controller in a system. It is installed on the handle that corresponds to the IDE controller. A driver entity that wishes to manage an IDE bus and possibly IDE devices in a system will have to retrieve the EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL instance that is associated with the controller to be managed.

A device handle for an IDE controller must contain an EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL .

7.3.3. EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.GetChannelInfo()¶

Summary

Returns the information about the specified IDE channel.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI \*EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_GET_CHANNEL_INFO) (
  IN EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL \* *This* ,
  IN UINT8 *Channel* ,
  OUT BOOLEAN \* *Enabled* ,
  OUT UINT8 \* *MaxDevices*
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL instance.
Channel: Zero-based channel number.
Enabled: TRUE if this channel is enabled. Disabled channels are not scanned to see if any devices are present.
MaxDevices: The maximum number of IDE devices that the bus driver can expect on this channel. For the ATA/ATAPI specification, version 6, this number will either be 1 or 2. For Serial ATA (SATA) configurations with a port multiplier, this number can be as large as 15.

Description

This function can be used to obtain information about a particular IDE channel. The driver entity uses this information during the enumeration process.

If Enabled is set to FALSE , the driver entity will not scan the channel. Note that it will not prevent an operating system driver from scanning the channel.

For most of today’s controllers, MaxDevices will either be 1 or 2. For SATA controllers, this value will always be 1. SATA configurations can contain SATA port multipliers. SATA port multipliers behave like SATA bridges and can support up to 16 devices on the other side. If an SATA port out of the IDE controller is connected to a port multiplier, MaxDevices will be set to the number of SATA devices that the port multiplier supports. Because today’s port multipliers support up to 15 SATA devices, this number can be as large as 15. The driver entity is required to scan for the presence of port multipliers behind an SATA controller and enumerate up to MaxDevices number of devices behind the port multiplier.

In this context, the devices behind a port multiplier constitute a channel.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	Information was returned without any errors
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Channel is invalid Channel ChannelCount

Description

This function is used by the driver entity to pass detailed information about a particular device to the IDE controller driver. The driver entity obtains this information by issuing an ATA or ATAPI IDENTIFY_DEVICE command. IdentifyData is the pointer to the response data buffer. The IdentifyData buffer is owned by the driver entity, and the IDE controller driver must make a local copy of the entire buffer or parts of the buffer as needed. The original IdentifyData buffer pointer may not be valid when EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.CalculateMode() or EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.DisqualifyMode() is called at a later point.

The IDE controller driver may consult various fields of EFI_IDENTIFY_DATA to compute the optimum mode for the device. These fields are not limited to the timing information. For example, an implementation of the IDE controller driver may examine the vendor and type/mode field to match known bad drives.

The driver entity may submit drive information in any order, as long as it submits information for all the devices belonging to the enumeration group before CalculateMode() is called for any device in that enumeration group. If a device is absent, SubmitData() should be called with IdentifyData set to NULL . The IDE controller driver may not have any other mechanism to know whether a device is present or not. Therefore, setting IdentifyData to NULL does not constitute an error condition. SubmitData() can be called only once for a given ( Channel , Device ) pair.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The information was accepted without any errors
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Channel is invalid (Channel >= ChannelCount)
EFI_INAVLID_PARAMETER	Device is invalid.

7.3.6. EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.DisqualifyMode()¶

Summary

Disqualifies specific modes for an IDE device.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI \*EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_DISQUALIFY_MODE) (
  IN EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL \* *This* ,
  IN UINT8 *Channel* ,
  IN UINT8 *Device* ,
  IN EFI_ATA_COLLECTIVE_MODE \* *BadModes*
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL instance.
Channel: Zero-based channel number.
Device: Zero-based device number on the Channel.
BadModes: The modes that the device does not support and that should be disqualified. Type EFI_ATA_COLLECTIVE_MODE is defined in “Related Definitions” below.

Definitions

This function allows the driver entity or other drivers (such as platform drivers) to reject certain timing modes and request the IDE controller driver to recalculate modes. This function allows the driver entity and the IDE controller driver to negotiate the timings on a per-device basis. This function is useful in the case of drives that lie about their capabilities. An example is when the IDE device fails to accept the timing modes that are calculated by the IDE controller driver based on the response to the Identify Drive command.

If the driver entity does not want to limit the ATA timing modes and leave that decision to the IDE controller driver, it can either not call this function for the given device or call this function and set the Valid flag to FALSE for all modes that are listed in EFI_ATA_COLLECTIVE_MODE .

The driver entity may disqualify modes for a device in any order and any number of times.

This function can be called multiple times to invalidate multiple modes of the same type (e.g., Programmed Input/Output [PIO] modes 3 and 4). See the ATA/ATAPI specification for more information on PIO modes.

For Serial ATA (SATA) controllers, this member function can be used to disqualify a higher transfer rate mode on a given channel. For example, a platform driver may inform the IDE controller driver to not use second-generation (Gen2) speeds for a certain SATA drive.

} EFI_ATA_COLLECTIVE_MODE;

PioMode: This field specifies the PIO mode. PIO modes are defined in the ATA/ATAPI specification. The ATA/ATAPI specification defines the enumeration. In other words, a value of 1 in this field means PIO mode 1. The actual meaning of PIO mode 1 is governed by the ATA/ATAPI specification. Type EFI_ATA_MODE is defined below.
SingleWordDmaMode: This field specifies the single word DMA mode. Single word DMA modes are defined in the ATA/ATAPI specification, versions 1 and 2. Single word DMA support was obsoleted in the ATA/ATAPI specification, version 3; therefore, most devices and controllers will not support this transfer mode. The ATA/ATAPI specification defines the enumeration. In other words, a value of 1 in this field means single word DMA mode 1. The actual meaning of single word DMA mode 1 is governed by the ATA/ATAPI specification.
MultiWordDmaMode: This field specifies the multiword DMA mode. Various multiword DMA modes are defined in the ATA/ATAPI specification. A value of 1 in this field means multiword DMA mode 1. The actual meaning of multiword DMA mode 1 is governed by the ATA/ATAPI specification.
UdmaMode: This field specifies the ultra DMA (UDMA) mode. UDMA modes are defined in the ATA/ATAPI specification. A value of 1 in this field means UDMA mode 1. The actual meaning of UDMA mode 1 is governed by the ATA/ATAPI specification.
ExtModeCount: The number of extended-mode bitmap entries. Extended modes describe transfer protocols beyond PIO, single word DMA, multiword DMA, and UDMA. This field can be zero and provides extensibility.
ExtMode: ExtModeCount number of entries. Each entry represents a transfer protocol other than the ones defined above (i.e., PIO, single word DMA, multiword DMA, and UDMA). This field is defined for extensibility. At this time, only one extended transfer protocol is defined to cover SATA transfers. Type EFI_ATA_EXTENDED_MODE is defined below.

TransferProtocol: An enumeration defining various transfer protocols other than the protocols that exist at the time this specification was developed (i.e., PIO, single word DMA, multiword DMA, and UDMA). Each transfer protocol is associated with a mode. The various transfer protocols are defined by the ATA/ATAPI specification. This enumeration makes the interface extensible because we can support new transport protocols beyond UDMA. Type EFI_ATA_EXT_TRANSFER_PROTOCOL is defined below.
Mode: The mode for operating the transfer protocol that is identified by TransferProtocol .

7.3.7. EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.CalculateMode()¶

Summary

Returns the information about the optimum modes for the specified IDE device.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI \*EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_CALCULATE_MODES) (
  IN EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL \* *This* ,
  IN UINT8 *Channel* ,
  IN UINT8 *Device* ,
  OUT EFI_ATA_COLLECTIVE_MODE \*\* *SupportedModes*
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL instance.
Channel: Zero-based channel number.
Device: Zero-based device number on the Channel .
SupportedModes: The optimum modes for the device. Type EFI_ATA_COLLECTIVE_MODE is defined in EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.DisqualifyMode() .

Description

This function is used by the driver entity to obtain the optimum ATA modes for a specific device. The IDE controller driver takes into account the following while calculating the mode:

“The IdentifyData inputs to EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.SubmitData()
“The BadModes inputs to EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL.DisqualifyMode()

The driver entity is required to call SubmitData() for all the devices that belong to an enumeration group before calling CalculateMode() for any device in the same group.

The IDE controller driver will use controller- and possibly platform-specific algorithms to arrive at SupportedModes . The IDE controller may base its decision on user preferences and other considerations as well. This function may be called multiple times because the driver entity may renegotiate the mode with the IDE controller driver using DisqualifyMode() .

The driver entity may collect timing information for various devices in any order. The driver entity is responsible for making sure that all the dependencies are satisfied; for example, the SupportedModes information for device A that was previously returned may become stale after a call to DisqualifyMode() for device B.

The buffer SupportedModes is allocated by the callee because the caller does not necessarily know the size of the buffer. The type EFI_ATA_COLLECTIVE_MODE is defined in a way that allows for future extensibility and can be of variable length. This memory pool should be deallocated by the caller when it is no longer necessary.

The IDE controller driver for a Serial ATA (SATA) controller can use this member function to force a lower speed (first-generation [Gen1] speeds on a second-generation [Gen2]-capable hardware). The IDE controller driver can also allow the driver entity to stay with the speed that has been negotiated by the physical layer.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	SupportedModes was returned
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Channel is invalid (Channel ChannelCount)
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Device is invalid
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	SupportedModes is NULL
EFI_NOT_READY	Modes cannot be calculated due to a lack of data This error may happen if SubmitData() and DisqualifyData() were not called for at least one drive in the same enumeration group
