11.1 PIO data in commands

Commands for this class are:

•IDENTIFY DEVICE

•READ BUFFER

•READ SECTOR(S) (with and without retry)

•READ SECTOR(S) EXT

•READ MULTIPLE

•READ MULTIPLE EXT

•SMART Read Attribute Values

•SMART Read Attribute Thresholds

•SMART Read Log Sector

•DEVICE CONFIGRATION IDENTIFY

PIO data in protocol:

a)The host writes any required command parameters to the Features, Sector Count, Sector Number, Cylinder High, Cylinder Low and Device/Head registers.

b)The host writes the command code to the Command register.

c)For each sector ( or block ) of data to be transferred:

1)The drive sets BSY bit and prepares to transfer a sector (or block) of data to the host.

2)When a sector (or block) of data is available for transfer to the host, the drive sets the DRQ bit and clears the BSY bit and asserts INTRQ.

3)After detecting INTRQ, the host reads the contents of the Status register.

4)The drive negates INTRQ in response to the Status register being read.

5)The host reads a sector (or block) of data via the Data register.

6)In response to a sector (or block) of data being transferred, the drive clears the DRQ bit.

The Read Multiple command transfers one block ( the number of sectors defined by the Set Multiple command ) of data for each interrupt. The other commands transfer one sector of data for each interrupt.

If the drive detects an invalid parameter in register setting, the drive clears BSY bit and sets the ERR bit in the Status register and sets ABRT bit in the Error register and asserts INTRQ in order to terminate the command execution.

If an uncorrectable error occurs, the drive will set DRQ bit and clear BSY bit and set ERR bit and stores the error status in Error register and address the information of the error sector to Sector Number, Cylinder High, Cylinder Low and Device/Head registers and asserts INTRQ.

If uncorrectable data error ( the UNC is set ) occurs, the drive will transfer a sector of the defective data to the host. If the others error occur, the contents of the data to be transferred shall not be ensured. In both cases, the host should complete transfer of the sector of data in response to INTRQ being asserted. In case of Read Multiple command, the host should complete transfer of a block of data which includes the sector with defective data.
