2. ATA Card Utility Program

2.1 Overview

This utility program is the Flash initialization program provided by Samsung. In order to process the initialization program, manufacturer should use batch file of each density made by Samsung. The batch file consists of ATA and Vendor Unique Command. Samsung provides the following files to manufacturer. Note : If customer wants to test assembled card, please test it under Native-DOS with SMARTDRV,

2.3 Utility Program Files
Users should create a new directory and copy all the files to this new directory. Cmdlog.c Setcmd.c Longsec.c seata.h Cmdlog.exe Setcmd.exe Longsec.exe Initcard.bat Initclr.bat : Cmdlog source file : Setcmd source file : Longsec source file : Header file : Cmdlog execution file : Setcmd execution file : Longsec execution file : This batch program performs initialization of CF card, which controlled by S3C49F9X : This batch program performs initialization of CF card, which controlled by S3C49F9X It must be used carefully. This batch file erases all flash chips clearly. Furthermore, it erases also bitmap information in the flash chips. : This file contains CIS/IDI information of CF card which controlled by S3C49F9X

samsung.def

2.4 Setup I/O Range for System
1. First of all, customer should search I/O range used on customer system. In case of using the cardsoft program made by SystemSoft co., customer can check I/O range using "cardinfo" command under DOS environment. If customer finds your system I/O range, for #define EVEN_DATA #define ERROR 0x381 #define FEATURE #define SEC_COUNT #define SEC_NUM #define CYL_LOW #define CYL_HIGH #define DRIVE_HEAD #define STATUS example, 0x380-0x38F, change header file as follows: 0x380 0x381 0x382 0x383 0x384 0x385 0x386 0x387
3. Recompile the source file each by each by using Turbo-c or Borland-c compiler. And then customer will get setcmd.exe, cmdlog.exe and longsec.exe. To distinguish used I/O range address in the batch file, rename execution files as follows: setcmd.exe ===> set380.exe cmdlog.exe ===> cmd380.exe longsec.exe ===> long380.exe If I/O range was 0x270, customer can rename the execution files as follows: setcmd.exe ===> set270.exe cmdlog.exe ===> cmd270.exe longsec.exe ===> long270.exe setcmd function : setcmd execution file performs the ATA commands and vendor unique commands. cmdlog function : cmdlog file executes thereafter read data from controller's buffer save to the host as file of which default file name is "dat.log". longsec function : longsec execution file performed the same functions of setcmd file except long byte(528bytes) access. 3. Now, customer can use these commands as shown in the following format: (refer to chapter 2.5.3)

Command <Feature><Sec Cnt><Sec Num><Cyl Low> <Cyl High><C/D/H><Command>[definition file]
* Command ~ setcmd or cmdlog or longsec * [definition file] ~ This is Option.
Ex) Case1: To read sector C:> cmdSector's data were stored in host as "dat.log" You can see "dat.log" file on your current directory. Case2: To write Sector C:> cmdCIS_SMP.def Case3: To execute Initial Drive Parameter command C:> setCase4: To write Sector as all "FF" C:> setFF Case5: To read physical sector from 3rd chip, 0 block, 1 page C:> long380 f0 c00 ef
2.5 How to Use Utility Program 2.5.1 Batch File Features
The Compact Flash card and IDE disk need initialization before they are used for the first time. This process requires the several special information. Customer should set the appropriate parameters in the batch file for different density and the number of chips For example, the initialization of the Compact Flash card consists of following process. 1) Flash Memory Initialization 2) CIS/IDI Information Amendment 3) CIS/IDI Read 4) MBR/PBR Write 5) Logical Formatting For example, the initialization of the IDE disk consists of following process. 1) Flash Memory Initialization 2) CIS/IDI Information Amendment 3) CIS/IDI Read 4) After rebooting on your PC, try to execute FDISK 5) Logical Formatting
A batch file is used for the consecutive execution of the above process. This batch file consists of several command according to the above 1) ~ 5) sequences. The main commands used in a batch file, are SETCMD, LONGSEC, CMDLOG, ATAINIT and FORMAT. SETCMD , LONGSEC and CMDLOG commands are the utility commands which supported by SAMSUNG Electronics. When customer wants to use these commands, the modifications of the command arguments and the definition file are required. ATAINIT is the special command that is given by PC card reader (PCMCIA type) maker. And FORMAT is DOS command.
2.5.2 The Details of Commands
The main commands need to parameters input. The commands require 7 parameters input except CMDLOG (CMDLOG requires 8 parameters. It needs to input the file name of the definition file additionally.) The description of this command is found in Vendor.pdf. Following source is a batch file to initialize 128MB(256Mb x 4EA) CF card.
setcmd f0 ca0 ef longsec f0 ca0 ef cmdlog f0 cfa0 ef samsung.def longsec f0 ca0 ef longsec f0 ca0 ef c:\cardsoft\atainit.exe d: /v format d: :end
1) Flash Memory Initialization 2) CIS/IDI Information Amendment
3) Read the written CIS/IDI
4) Write the MBR/PBR 5) Logical DOS format

Following source is a batch file for the initialize for 128MB(256Mb x 4EA) IDE disk.
setcmd f0 ca0 ef longsec f0 ca0 ef cmdlog f0 cfa0 ef samsung.def longsec f0 ca0 ef longsec f0 ca0 ef :end
CAUTION : To initialize an IDE disk based on these platforms, customer should remove two lines (c:\cardsoft\atainit.exe d: /v and format d:) from the batch file of compact Flash card above. That is, customer should not use CardSoft program made by SystemSoft co. An initialization method for IDE disk is as follows. 1. Setting of hardware : - Connect to primary master or slave - Use DOS diskette for IDE drive system booting - Try to store source, execution and batch files into DOS diskette 2. Execute power-off or software reset (ctrl+alt+delete) 3. Execute an appropriate batch file according to the disk capacity 4. After rebooting on PC, try to execute FDISK and logical DOS Format Customer has to change the value according to number of mounted Flash memory. Line "setcmd f0 c#1 (Number of mounted Flash memory) 00 a0 ef "of batch file should be modified as following examples. For example, 04 means that four Flash memory are mounted on card. Line "cmdlog f0 cfa0 ef samsung.def " : Writes CIS/DID information into Flash memory. - After Completion of Initialization for Flash c:\cardsoft\atainit.exe d: /v Create the boot sector format d: DOS Logical format ATAINIT is a to create a DOS partition on the Flash Disk card. This program is the utility program which is given by SytemSoft Corp.

This is the end of the initialization. CAUTION : If the cards fail the testing after initialization, they need to be re-initialized. Since, NAND Flash is already written data, most of blocks will be considered bad during re-initialization. To resolve this, a re-initialization based on the original bad block table (bit-map table) is necessary. 1. When valid bit-map exists in the cards Firmware erases all blocks excluding the original bad block based on bit-map table automatically. For example, At this directory including the initial batch files and the definition files, type the same initcard.bat. That is, customer can use the same method as the initialization of the new CF card D : > initcard 2. When valid bit-map does not exist in the cards
The firmware creates new bit-map table by erasing all blocks and running test patterns. The pattern erases and writes AAh and 55h for each block to find bad blocks. Another pattern test with complement data is also executed. But customer has to change to setcmd f0 c4 ff a0 ef in behalf of setcmd f0 ca0 ef in a batch file. For example, At this directory including the initial batch files and the definition files, type the same initclr.bat. That is, customer can use the same method as the initialization of the new CF card D : > initclr

Depending on the location of the flash chip installed, flash memory auto detection will show a different chip number and group. The block size is 32 pages and the total number of blocks is 1024. Total number of Blocks = Block Size = 32 Pages 1 Page = 528 Bytes (includes 512 bytes per sector and 16 bytes spare area) 1 Byte = 8 Bits Capacity of Flash Chip = Total Size * Block Size * Page * Bits = 1024 * 32 * 528 * 8 = 138,412,032 Bits = About 128Mb or 16MB Capacity of Flash Card = Number of Flash Chips * Capacity of Flash Chip Enter Y for YES at the prompt if the configuration was correct. The program will then start the auto initialization. The following will be seen on the screen. This is not an interleave Configuration!!!

3.7 The Interleave Method Using S3CI910X Controller
To use an interleave mode, use even numbers of Flash memory. Please refer to page 81 in data sheet. For example, to build a 64MB card with two 256Mb Flash memory, connect A-CE0 with one 256Mb Flash and B-CE0 with one 256Mb Flash. To build a 128MB card with four 256Mb Flash memory, connect A-CE0 with one 256Mb Flash, A-CE1 with one 256Mb Flash, B-CE0 with one 256Mb Flash, and B-CE1 with one 256Mb Flash. In case of using odd numbers of Flash memory, controller cannot support an interleave mode. Samsung provides customer with a noninterleave and interleave gerber files to assemble CF card
