| | 12 | == Newport == |
| | 13 | Many of the Gateworks Newport boards support mSATA. Because mSATA routes SATA signals to a miniPCIe socket, these boards use a software controllable mux to decide if mSATA or PCIe should be routed to a specific miniPCI socket on the board. The bootloader 'hwconfig' command (see [wiki:newport/#hwconfig here]) is used to configure this mux at boot time because if PCI is desired, the bus is enumerated only once at boot time. |

| | 15 | Newport boards with mSATA support: |
| | 16 | * GW630x J10 (Middle socket) |
| | 17 | * GW640x J10 (Center Right socket) |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | Notes: |
| | 20 | * Gateworks would expect any SATA 3.0 mSATA to work. |
| | 21 | * Only 1 miniPCIe socket supports mSATA - see the PCB silkscreen or hardware reference manual to determine which (if not specified above). |
| | 22 | * Drives are currently available from a variety of manufactures including Toshiba, Samsung, HP, Intel, !SanDisk and Dell. |
| | 23 | * The selection between the standard PCIe interface and the mSATA interface is under software control using the a digital I/O signal, which is configured by the bootloader on powerup via the '[wiki:newport/#hwconfig hwconfig]' env variable. |
| | 24 | * Gateworks tests with a mSATA Crucial CT032M4SSD3 32GB SATA SSD: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-mSATA-Internal-Solid-CT032M4SSD3/dp/B0082PVK8Q |

| | 26 | The internal CN80XX / CN81XX SATA controller supports the following features: |
| | 27 | * Compliant with Serial ATA 3.1 and AHCI revision 1.3.1. |
| | 28 | * Supports SATA 3.0 (6.0 Gb/s - 600MB/s), SATA 2.0 (3.0GB/s - 300MB/s), or SATA 1.0 (1.5Gb/s - 150MB/s). |
| | 29 | * 4KB native mode (4Kn) support |
