Haiku Support

[bitigchi]

Haiku is a modern operating system, and a reimplementation of BeOS from scratch and more. Haiku is currently in its beta stage, and preparing for its initial stable release. Having support for Haiku would be much useful for its users.

Patches are welcome.

Please add links to documentation or source code samples for any ATA/SCSI/NVMe pass-through functionality of Haiku here.

Drivers are located here: ​https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/disk

Bus managers are here: ​https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/kernel/bus_managers

Documentation is ​here, but it seems that it's a bit lacking at the moment. I can see if I can get some of the developers to drop by.
Freenode #haiku is also always available!

Patches are welcome. Feel free to use GH PR if you would like to get a review. Take a look on os_* files to understand system-depended parts needs to be implemented.

From quick view - ​https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/disk/nvme/nvme_disk.cpp#n850 - ioctl does not provide access to the smart data.

With scsi it seems to be better: ​https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/disk/scsi/scsi_disk/scsi_disk.cpp#n428

For AHCI it also seems to be no go - ​https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/kernel/busses/scsi/ahci/ahci_sim.cpp#n113

Anyway, this should be something initiated from Haiku size.

ATM kernel interfaces are missing, see ​https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/13411. It have a very little sense to open ticket here if OS not supporting any API to get such data. Please work with OS developers first to get them.

Thanks for the information. I haven't checked the Haiku side before opening the ticket, thanks for pointing it out. Hope it gets some attention.

No interfaces -> no way to support. Feel free to reopen if there are upstream changes or patches.
