The SoftIron Overdrive 3000 is an ARMv8 based server with an + 8-core AMD Opteron A1100 processor. The Overdrive 3000 has + two 10Gbase-T ethernet ports, two PCI Express ports, and eight + SATA ports. &os; has been updated to be able to boot on this + hardware.

+ +

Support for the SATA device was added to the + ahci(4) driver. Unlike on x86, this is a Memory Mapped + (mmio) device, and not on the PCI bus. To support this, a new + ahci mmio driver attachment has been added.

+ +

The generic PCIe driver has been updated to improve interrupt + handling. This includes supporting the interrupt-map devicetree + property, and supporting MSI and MSI-X interrupts on arm64.

+ +

Support for MSI and MSI-X interrupts has been added to the ARM + Generic Interrupt Controller v2 (gicv2) driver. This allows devices + to use these interrupts. This has been tested with a collection + of PCIe NIC hardware.

Write a driver for the 10Gbase-T NIC.
