Hi Shaveta,
I also use mmio not DMA for writing to SATA controller's registers.
Despite timeout (I comment out above code), it looks like problem with exchange of Frame Information Structures, memory isn't updated by hardware properly.

Hi,
I too am facing same error while running AHCI mode for SATA controller on my platform. I am not using DMA for any SATA controller's register read/write, instead using mmio read and write which is working fine.
What can be the probable issue. When in the code:
Status = AhciWaitMmioSet ( PciIo, Offset, EFI_AHCI_PORT_CMD_FR, EFI_AHCI_PORT_CMD_FR, EFI_AHCI_PORT_CMD_FR_CLEAR_TIMEOUT );
Value "400010" is written on command register at offset 0x18h of Port 0 (MMIO address 3200118 for SATA 1 controller in my platform)
Though no hang occur bur FR bit is not getting set in "AhciWaitMmioSet"
"FIS Receive Running (FR): When set, the FIS Receive DMA engine for the port is running"
Thanks and Regards, Shaveta

Thanks for quick response.
I am using ArmDmaLib as DmaLib (also for XHCI), so it looks like problem other than cache coherency.
Indeed. Also, it seems the operation where the hang occurs does not involve a DMA transaction, does it? Can you confirm that the AHCI MMIO space is mapped correctly?

Hi Ard,
I am working on support for AHCI controller for my ARMv8 platform and I decide to use PciEmulation approach. I was able to run XHCI via PciEmulation without problems, but unfortunately with AHCI it isn't working.
Controller is compatible with AHCI specification. It isn't dma-coherent and I think that problem lies here. Initialization timeouts in below part of code:
// // Enable FIS Receive DMA engine for the first D2H FIS. // Offset = EFI_AHCI_PORT_START + Port *EFI_AHCI_PORT_REG_WIDTH + EFI_AHCI_PORT_CMD; AhciOrReg (PciIo, Offset, EFI_AHCI_PORT_CMD_FRE); Status = AhciWaitMmioSet ( PciIo, Offset, EFI_AHCI_PORT_CMD_FR, EFI_AHCI_PORT_CMD_FR, EFI_AHCI_PORT_CMD_FR_CLEAR_TIMEOUT ); if (EFI_ERROR (Status)) { continue; }
Where do you think may be problem? Do you have any tips what should I try to do?
Are you using DmaLib? If you are, it is simply a matter of using ArmDmaLib, which uses uncached memory and/or explicit cache maintenance to perform non-coherent DMA. Basically, you need to implement the Allocate, free, map and unmap functions in the PCI I/O protocol using DmaLib methods, so you can use either coherent or non-coherent DMA depending on which version of the library you bind your driver to.
Also, make sure you set any I/O align fields in the protocol structures according to the CWG (max cacheline size) of your SoC. This will result in fewer cases where ArmDmaLib needs to use bounce buffering for streaming DMA.
