Marvell 88SE9170 support with IMX

[dabrain]

Dear all,

Is there someone who succeeded to support marvell 88SE9170 chip in order to provide additional SATA port using PICe.

Indeed i'm using an IMX6q and the imx6 sdk test does not succeed to init the PCIe port with this device plugged in.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Cerveau

seems 88SE9170 is supported on linux, so one can try with linux

[PATCH] ahci: add PCI ID for Marvell 88SE9170 SATA controller (Linux IDE and SATA Storage)

as for SDK - it is used just for basic testing, one can only test if it is detected by i.MX6 PCIe

module.

Best regards

igor

Thanks for you answer.

After some investigation, I have been able to make it work by avoiding the pci uboot init.

Indeed this chip does not support double init or need to be power on/off with gpio.

Anyway thx for your help.
