# PCI bus IDE controllers

## Name

PCI bus IDE controllers -- Configuring and using IDE controllers on the PCI bus

## Overview

Support is included for IDE bus controllers connected via the PCI bus. This includes support for generic PCI IDE controllers as well as Promise 20275 or 20269 IDE controllers.

## Configuration

This support can be enabled with the CYGFUN_HAL_IXP4XX_PCI_IDE_SUPPORT configuration option and is mutually exclusive with support for TrueIDE mode disks connected via a CompactFlash interface.

## Use with RedBoot

Enabling this option allows RedBoot to be used to load program images off an IDE disk connected via a PCI IDE controller, for example a Linux kernel from an EXT2 partition of an IDE disk using the "disk" load method.

## Files

The file `src/ixp_pci_ide.c` within this package is used to provide the necessary underlying support.
