config BLK bool "Support block devices" depends on DM default y if DM_MMC help Enable support for block devices, such as SCSI, MMC and USB flash sticks. These provide a block-level interface which permits reading, writing and (in some cases) erasing blocks. Block devices often have a partition table which allows the device to be partitioned into several areas, called 'partitions' in U-Boot. A filesystem can be placed in each partition. config AHCI bool "Support SATA controllers with driver model" depends on DM help This enables a uclass for disk controllers in U-Boot. Various driver types can use this, such as AHCI/SATA. It does not provide any standard operations at present. The block device interface has not been converted to driver model. config SATA bool "Support SATA controllers" help This enables support for SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment), a serial bus standard for connecting to hard drives and other storage devices. SATA replaces PATA (originally just ATA), which stands for Parallel AT Attachment, where AT refers to an IBM AT (Advanced Technology) computer released in 1984. See also CMD_SATA which provides command-line support. config SCSI bool "Support SCSI controllers" help This enables support for SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), a parallel interface widely used with storage peripherals such as hard drives and optical drives. The SCSI standards define physical interfaces as well as protocols for controlling devices and tranferring data. config DM_SCSI bool "Support SCSI controllers with driver model" depends on BLK help This option enables the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) uclass which supports SCSI and SATA HDDs. For every device configuration (IDs/LUNs) a block device is created with RAW read/write and filesystem support. config BLOCK_CACHE bool "Use block device cache" default n help This option enables a disk-block cache for all block devices. This is most useful when accessing filesystems under U-Boot since it will prevent repeated reads from directory structures and other filesystem data structures. menu "SATA/SCSI device support" config SATA_CEVA bool "Ceva Sata controller" depends on AHCI depends on DM_SCSI help This option enables Ceva Sata controller hard IP available on Xilinx ZynqMP. Support up to 2 external devices. Complient with SATA 3.1 and AHCI 1.3 specifications with hot-plug detect feature. config DWC_AHCI bool "Enable Synopsys DWC AHCI driver support" select SCSI_AHCI select PHY depends on DM_SCSI help Enable this driver to support Sata devices through Synopsys DWC AHCI module. endmenu config IDE bool "Support IDE controllers" help Enables support for IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard drives. This allows access to raw blocks and filesystems on an IDE drive from U-Boot. See also CMD_IDE which provides an 'ide' command for performing various IDE operations.
