This is a list of computer chipsets made by Marvell Technology Group.

[edit] 88SE61xx SATA/IDE Controllers Chipsets

Marvell 88SE61xx Chipsets are SATA / IDE controllers. Marvell don't provide information for these chipsets on the Marvell's website. The only page for their SATA chipsets is : Serial ATA Family

[edit] 88SE61xx Chipsets

[edit] 88SE61xx Chipsets OpenBSD support

Patch to add Marvell 88SE61xx SATA support in OpenBSD This applies to the owners of 6111, 6120, 6121, 6122, 6140, 6141 and 6145.

[edit] 88SE61xx Chipsets Linux support

[edit] Linux IDE(PATA) driver

Actually in the Kernel 2.6.25-rc8 (8 April 2008), driver version 0.1.4, the module pata_marvell support only these chipsets :

• Marvell 88SE6101 ^[1]
• Marvell 88SE6121
• Marvell 88SE6123
• Marvell 88SE6145 ^[2]

The file pata_marvell.c in kernel sources add IDE support for the Marvell IDE Chipsets. You can browse this file here by Web Git : [linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git] / drivers / ata / pata_marvell.c source : http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/ata/pata_marvell.c;h=a81f25d872355df8dad4d52b04103bdde9ad640c;hb=6fdf5e67fe8d3c83500dad9acae985132c2459a3

Code for chipset supported list (line 191 to 197):

static const struct pci_device_id marvell_pci_tbl[] = {
         { PCI_DEVICE(0x11AB, 0x6101), }, 
         { PCI_DEVICE(0x11AB, 0x6121), },
         { PCI_DEVICE(0x11AB, 0x6123), },
         { PCI_DEVICE(0x11AB, 0x6145), },
         { }     /* terminate list */
};

A bug ticket is open at Kernel Bug Tracker : Problem with pata_marvell kernel module : kernel 2.6.24.4 in Mandriva 2008.1 RC2 don't detect my IDE harddisk connected to a Marvell 88SE6111 IDE Controller

Workaround for linux and Marvell's chips that are not in the pata_marvell driver : ^{[3] [4]}

• Ensure the BIOS is set to AHCI. Please go to Advanced > Drive configuration > Configure SATA as. (In later Intel(R) desktop boards you can enter the BIOS setup program by repeatedly pressing the key during the boot process)
• Use the boot parameter: all-generic-ide
• use the boot parameter: pci=nommconf

This workaround work only with chipset that have AHCI support. But ICH9, ICH8, ICH7 and ICH6-based chipsets, as well as ICH5 and ICH5R-based chipsets, do not use AHCI.^[5]

[edit] Linux SATA driver

On the Asus website, you can find Marvell SATA code source and documentation that explain how to build and install the linux driver for Marvell SATA controller. This code source is for 'Marvell Storage Controller 6121/6122/6141/6145'. The code source version is v1.0.0.9 for Marvell SATA Controller and was developed by a Marvell's developer.

[edit] Linux PCI ID Repository

The Linux PCI ID Repository is a public repository of all known ID's used in PCI devices, that is ID's of vendors, devices, subsystems and device classes. These ID lists (usually in form of a pci.ids file) are used in various programs (The Linux Kernel, The PCI Utilities, new version of the XFree86 etc.) to display full device names instead of the numeric ID's. The PCI ID for Marvell 88SE61xx chipset are available at http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=11ab The April 8th 2008, there is only PCI ID for Marvell 88SE6101, 88SE6121, 88SE6141 and 88SE6145 chips. PCI ID for Marvell 88SE6102 and 88SE6111 are added April 9th 2008. After the April 9th 2008 and when the PCI ID list will be up to date in the Linux distributions, the Marvell 88SE6102 and 88SE6111 chips will be recognize by Linux but will not work because actually there is no drivers for them.
