Write Sector(s)
Write Sector(s) EXT
Write Verify
Execution includes the transfer of one or more 512 byte (> 512 bytes on Write Long) sectors of data from the host
to the device.
1. The host writes any required parameters to the Features, Sector Count, LBA, and Device Registers.
2. The host writes the command code to the Command Register.
3. The device sets BSY = 1.
4. For each sector (or block) of data to be transferred:
a. The devices BSY = 0 and DRQ = 1 when it is ready to receive a sector (or block).
b. The host writes one sector (or block) of data via the Data Register.
c. The device sets BSY = 1 after it has received the sector (or block).
d. When the device has finished processing the sector (or block), it sets BSY = 0 and interrupts the host.
e. In response to the interrupt, the host reads the Status Register.
f. The device clears the interrupt to the Status Register being read.
5. For the Write Long Command:
a. The device sets BSY = 0 and DRQ = 1 when it is ready to receive a sector.
b. The host writes one sector of data including ECC bytes via the Data Register.
c. The device sets BSY = 1 after it has received the sector.
d. After processing the sector of data, the device sets BSY = 0 and interrupts the host.
e. In response to the interrupt, the host reads the Status Register.
f. The device clears the interrupt in response to the Status Register being read.
The Write Multiple command transfers one block of data for each interrupt. The other commands transfer one sec-
tor of data for each interrupt.
If the device detects an invalid parameter, then it aborts the command by setting BSY = 0, ERR = 1, ABT = 1, and
interrupting the host.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the device sets BSY = 0 and ERR = 1, stores the error status in the Error Register,
and interrupts the host. The registers will contain the location of the sector in error. The error location will be
reported with CHS mode or LBA mode. The mode is decided by the mode select bit (bit 6) of the Device/Head reg-
ister on issuing the command.
All data transfers to the host through the Data Register are 16 bits except for the ECC bytes which are 8 bits.
