Problems using a SiI3132 SATA2 controller card with my SAM460LE
Just popping in

Did anyone try to actually use a SiI3132 SATA2 Controller yet? I tried but I only get cryptic error messages in Uboot, even when no device is attached to the controller. Of course I already flashed UBoot 2015.d and installed the new driver in AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 3. Am I doing something wrong or is the SAM just picky about the controller card? The output is like
this.

It works in my Sam460ex with a basic PCIe 3132 card. Maybe you can post a picture of the card.

According to ChatGPT Uboot tries to execute the card's option ROM which contains x86 code which triggers an illegal-instruction trap of the CPU. The solution would be to disable either the card's option ROM or prevent Uboot from executing the card's ROM.
I have one card where disabling the ROM can be done by a jumper setting, but it didn't worked either.
On another card I have, I don't know how to disable the ROM.
ChatGPT tells me how to disable the code execution in Uboot. I will try this later and report back.

Hi,
my Sil3132 controller works perfectly on my Sam460LE.
Please, can you post a photo of your Sil3132 card?

This does not look like an x86 exception to me but a PPC one. Maybe it's a bug in U-Boot? I think you should ask aCube they should know better than ChatGPT.

I am not sure, if ChatGPT knows anything useful about Sam460 LE + SiI 3132. Probably all text from GPT is pure fabulation.

Did you buy SiI 3132 new, or used? It is possible, that used controller was configured to RAID, and this not works for us. Test your controller on PC and check if configured to JBOD.

This is my screenshot of firmware screen:

In my screen is visible Sata device SATA2-3132, on your picture is missing. You have there only USB devices. It means, that firmware not recognized your device.

As usual ChatGPT just displays some utter nonsense compiled from web page crawls.
The Amiga NG U-Boot uses it's integrated SciTech x86 emulator exclusively for emulating the x86 BIOS ROM of gfx cards, but it's not used for any other type of PCI(e) devices like SATA, audio, network, etc.

ChatGPT never claimed that other x86 BIOS ROMs than those from gfx cards can be emulated. It suggested to set skiprom=true or norom=yes depending on the Uboot version, but both don't work. However, since I get the same errors when jumpering one card to ignore the ROM chip (and even when I remove the ROM since it is DIP socketed), it shows that the ROM chip isn't the issue at all!
I have two cards and both don't work. The top one is my old SATA1 card.

I could test if they're configured to JBOD on Windows, but I guess the easiest way is that you tell me your model of your working cards @AlfredOne and @sailor and I try to acquire the same one.
