The SAS +controller has no firmware, so the driver is extensive and using SCIL +minimizes the development and maintenance cost of the driver. + +The FreeBSD implementation files are in the isci directory, and SCIL files +are in the isci/scil subdirectory. As Intel publishes new versions of SCIL +(to add features or fix bugs), the isci/scil subdirectory will be updated +appropriately. |
