hdd led is off on intel ATCA-46xx board (Front panel)

Hi,

 

I am koteswararao working on intel based x86_64 board (ATCA-46xx) which has

HDD LED that indicates the status about HDD access . During HDD access

LED is 'ON'. But, after applying sgpio related patches specified in below link ,

the HDD LED is continuously 'OFF' and doesn't blink during HDD read/write operations.

 

The below commit's are backported from 3.2 kernel (kernel.org)

I have gone through the above commit code and observed that

SGPIO_HW_CONTROL macro defined in 3rd commit in above list

is causing the issue.  I referred C600 data sheet given in below link

 

http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/c600-series-chipset-datasheet.pdf

 

to get idea over SGPIO_HW_CONTROL macro bit settings and observed

that LED issue is due to FSENG activity written in to SCU output data select register.

There is no much details about FSENG activity.

Could anyone please let me know more details about FSENG activity?

What does this FSENG activity means?

how it has effect on HDD LED (front panel LED)?

 

Thanks for allowing me in posting this mail.
